[lbo-talk] A stoy about Joan Baez and southern white men

[Jim Devine]

Stuart Elliott quoted:
>Baez, butterfly of egalitarianism and wet-dream queen of liberals
everywhere was quite repulsed by the presence of a white Southern 
man.<

For a long time, it was quite popular among Northern liberals to be
biased against Southern "rednecks" (and may still be so). In fact,
this was one reason why the Kennedys didn't like LBJ.
