With Bo and Luke Duke likely in a nursing home and Rosco
Coltrane and Boss Hogg undoubtedly six feet under, it's difficult for us to
quantify whether the Dixie flag carries any positive connotations in
contemporary culture. It now seems archaic and, if we're being politically
correct, not so cute to paint the rebel flag on your vehicle.
Though Daisy Duke was a roll model of sorts for us, we were
surprised that there was no gun rack or fishing poles visible in this truck. Is
it racist to assume this commuter was sporting overalls with no shirt? After all,
how good of a "good ol' boy" can this driver be if he has all of his
teeth and is dressed in a three-piece suit?
Yes, things change and occasionally for the better. We'll
always have a soft spot in our hearts for the General Lee and its inevitable car
chase followed by a crazy jump scene. Somehow it seemed like innocent fun and
maybe that's just fine. However, we can't (in good conscience) fly this flag
and it would look just plain stupid on our rides.
Shout out to SB of NJ. Thanks for the pic!
