The_Good_Doctor I lived in Atlanta for over a decade and I echo the sentiments of @TheEmu @TheEmperorJoker . @Doctor_Smarty did not portray the south (or its people) in a disparaging manner.

Atlanta has long been a cauldron for rendering the gritty, unsavory history of racial strife in our country. I was fortunate enough to attend the 'Killing in the Name' on 07/04/10. IMO the backdrop of Atlanta was not coincidental for an Independence Day surprise performance of 'KitN' IMO. MLK's legacy is conspicuous in downtown Atlanta. He was a great leader and advocate of non-violence protest, only to be assassinated by 'the machine' in his demand for equality.

"Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites"

AND since this .net series aims to provide an in-depth look at this summer's (revisited) venues - great synthesis and job well done. So relevant, so spot on. This is why we love this band. Thank you.
