Georgia is one of those states that, once you get to thinking about it, turns out to be very impressive. Just think of all the things we've gotten from Georgia:
1. Coca-Cola
2. The Masters
3. Gone with the Wind
4. Flannery O'Connor
5. "Georgia on my Mind"
6. "Midnight Train to Georgia"
7. Lewis Grizzard
8. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
9. "Rainy Night in Georgia"
10. R.E.M.
And that's just the beginning. Truly we would all be worse off without Georgia, a very underrated state.

ReplyDeleteOut of the hills of Habersham
ReplyDeleteDown the valleys of Hall
I hurry amain to reach the plain,
Run the rapid and leap the fall,
Split at the rock and together again,
Accept my bed, or narrow or wide,
And flee from folly on every side
With a lover's pain to attain the plain
Far from the hills of Habersham,
Far from the valleys of Hall.
