This week I talk about The Bottle Rockets song Wave That Flag. I talk about the three flags of the Confederate States of America. Then I discuss heritage versus hate. This should be fun.

First Verse
Look, here comes another one, 4-wheel drive. Look there in the window, man, Saints alive! That good ol’ boy’s waving The stars & bars. It’s a red, white & blue flag. It ain’t ours.
Chorus
Wave that flag hoss, wave it high Do you know what it means? Do you know why? Maybe being a Rebel ain’t no big deal. But if somebody owned your ass How would you feel?
