I love that Joan Baez song!\nThe answer my friend is blowing in the wind, the answer is blowing in the wind....\n\nI like in Forrest Gump when Jenny sings that song.

Maybe Ray Nagin is getting stoopider- he wants to be Forrest Gump (always talkin' about Boxes of Chocolates and what not).\n\nThere were many other ways he could have stated the idea that would have been acceptable...the fact that NOLA is/was predominantly african-American in population.

It's not just Tennessee; unfortunately we in Kentucky have a similar, and similarly unjustified, reputation. I think it was a rumor started by Yankee jealous because Southerners can pronounce "r" sounds in the middle of words. (ex: New York vs. New Yawk).\n\nBTW, I've been to Nashville, and I saw many shoes of all types there. :)

I don't think they sound similar at all.  But we don't have many of either around these parts, unfortunately.  \n\nBad teeth? That's all the tea and cigarettes but I will have that any day over the men I am used to.

I think you need to quit talking like that.  It's one thing to have a southern accent, but that's not what that is.  It makes the rest of us Mississippians look bad.  Sorry, but that's how I feel and I mean no disrespect towards you personally.

He was born & raised in Texas. Some people who live in other places will lose their accent. I have a strong southern accent, much more than my brothers & sister - we were all raised together & live within 10 miles of each other. Some people pick up accents more than others. If I spend a lot of time with my friends from out west, I get a weird accent. His Mom definitely has an accent.

Sounds more like the Gatlin Brothers, but I could be wrong.

In Colonial days, North Carolina was a big producer of tar, pitch and turpentine. \n\nDuring one of the fiercest conflicts of the Civil War, North Carolina troops felt they had been let down by a regiment carrying the colors of another state, and thus carried chips on their shoulders when they pulled back from the front after the battle.\n\n"Any more tar down in the Old North State, boys?" members of the other regiments taunted the battle-weary North Carolinians.\n\n"Not a bit. Jeff Davis bought it all up," retorted the Carolinians.\n\n"How's that, what's he going to do with it?"\n\n"He's gonna put it on your heels to make you stick better in the next fight," answered the soldiers from the land of tar, pitch and turpentine.\n\nGerneral Lee, hearing of the incident, remarked: "God Bless the Tar Heel Boys."\n\nThe nickname stuck

Don't remember it being mentioned anywhere ...\n\nBut his accent seems to be loosely modelled on Cary Grant's (no, seriously - listen to it) ...\n\n... so I'd have to guess Southern England.

Yes, I agree with you. I think it is just a stereo typical image of British people. I have even heard Northern actors and Scottish actors put on a Southern accent. It sounds really false. They should try and vary the accents.

Ha ha \nSomething that reminds me of my teens. Like 80's music. I can't hold back when I hear a Adam Ant song.....It's not a good sound either.
