great lyrics, as usual, Gary!
I really am not trying to stir the pot, but it made me think of something else.
Would you rather have underwear hanging on a clothesline in a backyard or would you rather have the rainbow flag on the same flagpole as the POW flag in front of city hall?

How are those two things similar?

dl,
I would simply guess that, in this case, one person's sacred banner is another's flapping linen rag.
Just like any other war, I suppose.....

They're not. The POW flag doesn't have stripes.

The real question,
(the answer, for which, I hope you all will never know)
...is whether my own underwear has stripes?
Maybe it is time for those hound dogs under the porch, after all.
I'm beginning to understand why Rottweilers were bred.
I'm also starting to wonder how those "historic district" advocates will view our clotheslines?
Would we be forced to forgo our gas and electric dryers for those clotheslines? (as they would be much more authentic to a historic district?)
Would we also be forced to hang up bobby socks, bloomers, corsets, pantaloons, high collars, starched shirts, and one-piece swimsuits on our clotheslines?
Would we have to WEAR them?
I do have a top hat and a derby that I use with the banjo act. They would probably look great with my LO T-shirt.
At least I still have a few pairs of high-button bankers' shoes in the attic...
Forgive me, my imagination is starting to swirl with possibilities...
