Police Officer will be punished for playing Sweet Home Alabama. No word yet from Al Sharpton on whether he will protest, and demand the officer be fired.

Below is the list of songs played to the captive terrorists as part of the torture conducted by the CIA, that was released yesterday by the Democrats. Sweet Home Alabama was not one of the songs.

Barney & Friends: theme song

Metallica: Enter Sandman

Meow Mix: commercial jingle

Janeane Garofalo/Ben Stiller: chapter from the Feel This Audiobook

Sesame Street: theme song

AC/DC: Shoot to Thrill, Hell’s Bells

Bee Gees: Stayin’ Alive

Tupac: All Eyez On Me

Christina Aguilera: Dirrty

Neil Diamond: America

Don McLean: American Pie

Matchbox Twenty: Cold

Prince: Raspberry Beret

The Meow mix commercial over and over again really could get annoying. I know that would cause me to tell all the secrets I knew.

In the article it states that the lyrics are often misunderstood as being supportive of former Alabama Governor George Wallace, who was a segregationist.

Thus playing Sweet Home Alabama around black protestors is naturally racist.

Lynrd Skynyrd like most Southern Rock Bands played in front of a large Confederate flag. That would also be racist.

I think most people like Sweet Home Alabama.

These lyrics always puzzled me: Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers

Muscle Shoals is a town in the Northern part of the Alabama where there is a large TVA project. But who are the Swampers? An article a few years ago solved my puzzlement. The Swampers are a group of talented studio musicians who played back up on tons of great hits.

BTW the Illinois legislature just passed a bill preventing secret recording of just about anything. Both parties must know of the recording for it to be legal. Penalties are quadrupled, if the secret recordings are of police or judges. The bill is so vague, that it may prevent police officers from doing any recording such as body cameras. It will certainly scare any normal citizen into not recording the police under any circumstances.

And it was caught on tape.

The police in Chicago are being investigated for playing "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynrd Skynyrd on the radio in their patrol car. It was being "blasted" during a protest march.

Maybe "Sweet Home Alabama" is considered torture in some circles. Didn't US Army play Britney Spears to annoy the detainees in Guantanamo.

Will the last ones leaving Chicago please turn out the lights.
