How can you not say Dolly Parton for Tennessee? She has done so much not just for music but east Tennessee and her humanitarian aid here in Tennessee is outstanding
@@trinathomas1971 Exactly. But then we gotta fault the parents of these youngsters in these videos, we’re they exposed to the music, the films? So many legends from several genres of music, film and television were missed and could have been named from topped of mind. 🤷🏽♀️🙃
We will sing one song for my Old Kentucky Home, for my Old Kentucky Home far away. Kentucky isn’t perfect, but that song makes me so proud to be from here
@@shaylacarter417 I agree, I mentioned it in my comment as well. So many viewers have mentioned it as well. Your voice is obviously classically trained. I hope you're able to sing quite often.
I was all over kentucky year before last year with my cousin he drives an 18 wheeler and we went through pikeville,beatyville, Harlan, louisa, and a few other I can't remember..I I bought a six pack of el8one or la8teone haha I can't remember how to spell it but I saw some beautiful country the kentucky river and spoke to some of you lovely kentucky girls 😉 I had a good time I look forward to coming back soon hope you ladies and your families have a pleasant evening it's time for this TN boy to kick his work boots off haha
That might be tied "with way down upon the suwannee river" written by a guy that's never seen it but I'm not convinced with his choice of actor, only a man's man would choose Bert Reynolds, he's kind of an arrogant jerk but that's just my opinion.
When it comes to the birth of rock n roll, how can you forget Elvis from Mississippi, Jerry Lee Lewis from my hometown of Ferriday, Louisiana, Roy Acuff from Tennessee, The Carter Family from Virginia, Jimmy Rodgers from Mississippi. Those guys started country music. Jimmy C. Newman from down deep in Cajun country Louisiana.
Sister Rosetta Tharpe was from Arkansas and can attributed with one of the first recordings of rock n’ roll, basically the mother of the genre. Sad that we forget these things.
Texas: Singer-George Strait, ZZ Top, Song-Amarillo by Morning, Movie-Lonesome Dove, Actor-Tommy Lee Jones. Culture-Alamo/Texas Revolution. Only Nation to join US
Thank you from Alabama to state that our contribution was to bring national attention to civil rights. Kicking and screaming and never relenting is what our state is all about. I'm white, born in 1960, went through integration, and watched 10 years later how Boston handled bussing. We have grown and I'm proud to say I'm from Alabama.
I like the Virginia guy, but much like all the Texas people on here think Austin girl doesn’t represent Texas well, I don’t think a guy from Hampton Roads represents the majority of Virginia well!
And Ironically the best song about my state (or at least a city in my state...my hometown, actually) came from Tom Petty. Love him! Definitely my favorite thing from Florida. Well, him and oranges lol
I thought that he was born in SC and grew up in GA until I research it. I saw where he grew up in SC and GA. The only famous people that I know that’s from SC is Chadwick Bozeman, Vanna White, Darius Rucker, Jesse Jackson, and Ronald McNair.
Our Texas representative does not strike me as being very passionate or knowledgeable about the Lone Star State… I mean… our biggest cultural influence is TexMex food?!? I can think of lots of things more impactful than tacos and enchiladas.
Someone said a few years ago that nothing good has come out of the South....y'all...all iconic American music came out of the South!! Jazz, country, bluegrass, gospel....all iconicly American...all iconicly Southern!!!!
For all of the "Oklahoma isn't Southern!" comments: I was born in Alabama, grew up in South Carolina, and now live in Oklahoma. Geographically we may be on the border between the South and Southwest but there is a definite Southern vibe here if y'all ever want to visit!
I've been to Oklahoma in January. Frankly no state that gets that much snow can rightly call itself southern no matter where it's geographically located. Texas isn't either it begins the Southwest.
After the Civil War many Confederate soldiers relocated to Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, and Missouri. Southern is a state of mind, and many Oklahomans are Southern.
As a Kentuckian I’d have to disagree about the pick for musician. Stapleton is good but Bill Monroe is the Father of Bluegrass. He created it for goodness sake!
I said the same as a KY girl. The one doing KY was completely wrong. We have so many out of KY and to pick Chris Stapleton bothered me too. I mean yeah he is from KY but my goodness we have people like Keith Whitley and Loretta Lynn for starters but you are 100% right.
Thank you! Bill Monroe, Tyler Childers, Loretta, Keith Whitley(greatest country male artist of all time). And then picking KFC?? Hello, bluegrass, longest cavern system in the world, the corvette, Lincoln? And blue moon of Kentucky is definitely the song. Or Kentucky rain.
I was about to get mad at her to, but Louisiana (Nola boy myself baby) has had such an impact on music. People like Louis and Fats are classics when you think about Jazz and Rock. And the Dixie cups too. Of course Mcgraw for country but we also have the more recent Hunter Hayes. And then hip hop, rap, and bounce music are all a big thing too. So Lil Wayne makes perfect sense, but don't count out Big Freedia or Master P. And hell even toss in one of the queens of pop Britney Spears, though born in Mississippi, Kentwood is her hometown.
Oh hell no Ky girl. We do not claim Tom cruise. Another acceptable answers would have been, Johnny Depp. I don't care what anyone says about him. I still like him. Rob Riggle, Jim Varney, Michael Shannon, and Chris Hardwick. Just to name a few.
@@Matthew-uc7he meh, not all that impressed by his body of work. And, like too many actors, he can't seem to keep his preachy elitist arrogance to himself.
Buddy Holly, mac Davis, willie Nelson, England Dan, John Ford Coley, Christopher Cross, Nora Jones, Barbara Mandrel, Kenny Roger's, roger miller.....so many more from Texas
It would be easy to call out the Texas girl for all the obvious answers she omitted, but she's young, and her frame of reference is about the last twenty years. We older Texans can't keep stomping our feet about the new kids....but I do wish she had a greater awareness of our state's rich contributions to the world.
When they asked what the biggest cultural influence to come out of your state the Arkansas guy should have said, WALMART! We gave the world Walmart...imagine a world without it.
SAN ANTONIO Texas is where they shot the Selena movie. Also Selena Quentina, Willie Nelson, Beyoncé, George Stright, Selena Gomez, Travis Scott, Kelly Clarkson, Janis Joplin, Dixie Chicks, ZZ Top and Miranda Lambert.
I wish our Texas representative had as much passion about Texas as the representatives from the other states… like Kentucky. A real Texan would have given answers like these… Musician - Stevie Ray Vaughan/Bob Wills, Song - Deep In The Heart of Texas, Movie - The Sons of Katie Elder (John Wayne, Dean Martin)/Urban Cowboy, Actor -Tommy Lee Jones and Matthew McConaughey, Cultural Influence - Cowboy culture, BBQ, Tejano and Western Swing music.
“When the Saints Go Marching In” is an old gospel song that predates the NOLA Saints. Could have said, “Louisiana Saturday Night”, “Calling Baton Rouge”, “Going to New Orleans”, Battle of New Orleans”, etc.
I can click with the Mississippi guy and the Louisiana woman. I'm born and raised in Louisiana but about 20 minutes away across the Mississippi River is Natchez Mississippi so I know a lot about Mississippi history and culture
I think the girl representing the Republic of Texas, whom I assume is an Austinite, did better, but she missed the mark on a few. •Singer-George Strait, the King of Country. I will also take Willie Nelson and Beyonce for non Country people. •Greatest Song-Deep In the Heart of Texas or George Strait's Take Me to Texas. God Bless Texas is also really good and true; Texas is God's country (pay no attention to Glory Road) •Movie-the 2004 Alamo or The Highwaymen starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson. •Matthew McConaughey and Owen Wilson are great picks. In fact, the McConaughey family were extras in the film Bernie, set in Carthage, Tx. Jim Parsons is also good. Tommy Lee Jones is unbeatable. To add a few actresses, Jessica Alba and Jennifer Garner are also Texans. •Culturally, Texas' lasting legacy includes the Alamo, the willingness to fight and possibly die for liberty, and the Texas Revolution and cowboy culture. Texas is the capital of Cowboy Country, especially West Texas. It is true that Tex-Mex outside of states known for significant Hispanic populations is bad, but there is more to Texas than that.
Devil Went Down To Georgia. The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia and Georgia is not my favorite state right now. And this is from someone in Texas.
I may be from SC but I have to agree with Virginia on Hidden Figures. One of my favorite movies! Also, I love Forrest Gump too, but mainly because a lot of it was filmed in the lower part of the state of SC. Also, Chadwick B. and Viola Davis are both from SC and in my opinion, two of the best actors I have ever seen.
Lousiana and georgia got a lot of them for movies. South Carolina guy radio prince of tides and leatherheads filmed in Greenville and spartanburg . North Carolina Harrison Ford movie I cant remember the name and few other movies filmed in north Carolina. Hannah Montana is not the only Tennessee movie. Damn girl. You need to Google search your state for filming movies
I think Oklahoma I think Reba I think Kentucky I'm thinking Loretta Lynn I think Tennessee I think Elvis and Tina Turner and when I think Missouri I think Rhonda Vincent and Sara Evans
I don’t doubt that your Oklahoma fella is probably a nice guy. But he’s killing me in these videos. I yelled at my screen like it was Bedlam all over again.
Where the Heart Is is an Oklahoma movie from conception to production. Billie Letts was an Oklahoma writer and professor of English at Southeastern Oklahoma State University. It is the quintessential Oklahoma and Southern novel, and later, movie.
Brittney Spears, from Mississippi? She was raised in Kentwood, Louisiana and claims that as her hometown. Yeah, she was born in McComb, MS, but just because the cat has kittens in the oven, it don't make 'em biscuits...
Roy Underhill, of the Woodwright's Shop on PBS is in North Carolina and the majority of his shows were filmed in North Carolina. He went to both UNC Chapel Hill and Duke and did a lot of work with Colonial Williamsburg and has a woodworking school in Pittsboro, NC. He really has done a lot to focus on traditional woodworking and its importance. He's an really interesting dude.
The guy from Sc.... *sigh* Everyone in my house was saying, Don't say Hootie, Dont say Hootie. How about Chubby Checkers? Marshall Tucker? Eartha Kitt!!!
Excellent! I enjoyed this. I grew up in central California but I was born in Lubbock, Texas. Same as Natalie Maines and Buddy Holly. Mom was born in Post.
That woman who sang the Kentucky song has such a beautiful voice. As for FL song some might say our official state song, Old Folks at Home (also known as Swanee River).
Is no one going to mention Elvis? He’s from Mississippi and has the song called Kentucky Rain. As for actors forgotten, Johnny Depp is from Kentucky, though his relationship with Amber Heard might make him a little contentious. And then food wise, Kentucky has also given us the hot brown and Burgoo and the mint julep.
I was in Virginia Beach in 1977, long before it was built up and became a tourist trap. We rented a duplex, walked on the beach at night, and had a great time.
I think y’all should give them the questions beforehand so they can do some research. Some seemed unfairly represented.It’s difficult to answer questions on the fly with cameras and lights on you. Only trying to help with love ❤️. BTW I love your channel ❤️.
Agreed, as someone born and raised in North Carolina we have given more to the world than wood working and bluegrass. We have given the world bbq, Krispy Kreme donuts, Pepsi and despite the name Texas Pete. Music wise we got Randy Travis, Eric Church, Ryan Adams, Luke Combs and Between The Buried and Me. We have given college basketball to the country with the best college basketball ball teams in the US which leads to the next cultural icon we’ve given the world; Michael Jordan. The greatest basketball player of all time know all over the world.
Also one of the most important battles of the American Revolution happened in my hometown of Greensboro NC. The battle of Gilford Courthouse which caused a large number of causalities for the British troops which made the British retreat from the South; they got cut off in their retreat in Virginia by Washington and was forced to surrender. NC saved the South during the revolution and helped our nation gain its independence
I agree!! Pam Grier, Ken Jeong, J. Cole, DaBaby, Sugar Ray Leonard, Jodeci, Shirley Caesar, Fantasia, Nina Simone, Jamie Pressly, Ava Gardner, Michael C. Hall, Terrence J, Nick Cannon, Fred Durst. Athletes: Stephen Curry, Brandon Ingram, Dominique Wilkins, Michael Jordan, Chris Paul, John Wall, Bam Adeboyo, Todd Gurley Angela Bassett originally lived in Winston Salem in the early stage of life before moving to Florida. Chuck Brown (founder of Go-Go) is originally from NC before moving to DC.
Really dude? Woodworking and bluegrass? I mean, I like the Woodright Shop and a little backyard pickin' as much and the next person, but no mention on the movie and TV production? How about Charlotte being the banking capital of the south? And how bout Kitty Hawk being the birthplace of aviation? Yes, conceived in Ohio, but born in NC. Probably the most advanced Zoo outside of San Diego. Furniture. Oh, and NASCAR. Not everybody's cup of tea, me included, but still pretty popular.
I feel REALLY sad the dude from Mississippi has never heard of Elvis! I can understand BB King, as Elvis l9ved him, too... but BRITNEY SPEARS BEFORE ELVIS?!?
I'm about to take away that gals Kentucky card. Elizabethtown? Yeah, it's nice city - lots of family there, but let me introduce you to a little movie called "Coal Miner's Daughter".
Really, dude from Mississippi, not Elvis for the musician, and not the Doobie Brothers' Black Water for the state song? Jim Henson, James Earl Jones for the actor. The Blind Side for the movie.
@@williambreazeale always thought it was Mississippi. Not any worse than whatever state claiming Aretha Franklin. She maintained a Detroiter identity throughout her life.
@@squiresam I will claim it. New Orleans is its own thing, separate from the rest of the South. The Coastal areas of the south have much more in common with each other (particularly the stretch from Slidell, LA to Pensacola, FL) than they do with those living in the interiors of their respective states. That's like saying New Orleans has no claim to the blues, it belongs solely to Mississippi. Whatever song the metro from Mississippi picked, definitely NOT.
@@squiresam All right then, Alannah Myles "Black Velvet". It mentions Mississippi, and certainly describes the summers. Other than that "Dixieland", but that isn't politically correct.
Mississippi low key has produced many great talent despite its adversity. I’m proud to call this state my birthplace. Now I can understand how the guy in video forgot to mention Elvis because majority of people usually associate Elvis with Memphis. But the Britney Spears answer, that’s a no go. She may have been born in McComb but she was raised in Louisiana. I could see Jimmie Rodgers or someone else.
I am older and a Real Classic movie fan. So here goes..AVA GARDNER, North Carolina, Joann Woodward, Georgia, and Patricia Neal, Tennessee I think. There were many other classic stars from the South too.💕👍
My Okie rep have such generic easy answers, I was prepared to be disappointed in his movie choice. Then he went and pulled out Silkwood and defied all expectations. For once, you go Okie guy! (He did forget Woody Guthrie for music, which was sad. I think he was and is the best of our many great musicians.)
Shame on Mississippi for not claiming Elvis Presley
I was just thinking "Didn't Elvis come from Mississippi?"
EXACTLY
Elvis, Jimmy Rodgers, Conway Twitty, Tammy Wynette, Charley Pride, Marty Stuart, Robert Johnson, Faith Hill...so many he missed
@@taylorboys3791 I AGREE
Totally missed it with the greatest ever Elvis

That belly tickling was beautiful and the highlight of my weekend.

Same, Elvis was born in the south and still lived in the south, can’t believe he wasn’t included
it's the younger generation here. what do you expect? They prolly don't know what a pushbutton phone is - let alone a rotary one.

Ok Tennessee can claim the Queen of music Dolly Parton!!!
Yes
Who let that girl speak for us
How could she not this isnt her opinion this is the states opinion
she has no right to say in another one of these videos that Nashville is not a city it the music capitol of the world
That's SAINT Dolly Parton!
Florida guy is spot on. Margaritaville is the most Floridian song out there
Jimmy Buffet was raised in Mobile Alabama.

Dolly Parton or Elvis.
Elvis was from Tupelo, MS.
@@NotSoFast71 he was raised in Memphis though
She mentions Dolly. Even started singing Jolene.
@@tenngirl1976 I thought he moved to Memphis as a young adult.
@@willp.8120 he was 13
Yes Arkansas has Johnny Cash, and Glen Campbell too. There was Levon Helm of The Band and Junior Walker (and the Allstars) too.
“When the Saints Go Marching In” is an old gospel song that predates the NOLA Saints. Could have said, “Louisiana Saturday Night”, “Calling Baton Rouge”, “Going to New Orleans”, Battle of New Orleans”, etc.
See Heartwing gets it!
I can click with the Mississippi guy and the Louisiana woman. I'm born and raised in Louisiana but about 20 minutes away across the Mississippi River is Natchez Mississippi so I know a lot about Mississippi history and culture
I think the girl representing the Republic of Texas, whom I assume is an Austinite, did better, but she missed the mark on a few.
•Singer-George Strait, the King of Country. I will also take Willie Nelson and Beyonce for non Country people.
•Greatest Song-Deep In the Heart of Texas or George Strait's Take Me to Texas. God Bless Texas is also really good and true; Texas is God's country (pay no attention to Glory Road)
•Movie-the 2004 Alamo or The Highwaymen starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson.
•Matthew McConaughey and Owen Wilson are great picks. In fact, the McConaughey family were extras in the film Bernie, set in Carthage, Tx. Jim Parsons is also good. Tommy Lee Jones is unbeatable. To add a few actresses, Jessica Alba and Jennifer Garner are also Texans.
•Culturally, Texas' lasting legacy includes the Alamo, the willingness to fight and possibly die for liberty, and the Texas Revolution and cowboy culture. Texas is the capital of Cowboy Country, especially West Texas. It is true that Tex-Mex outside of states known for significant Hispanic populations is bad, but there is more to Texas than that.
San Antonio Stroll.
Jennifer Garner is from West Virginia.
@@racheldavin7763 Well she was born in Houston
And what about NASA? Rodeo? Tx also has the largest Medical Ctr. in the world! & BBQ!
Texas, When I Die by Tanya Tucker. Best song about Texas
Devil Went Down To Georgia. The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia and Georgia is not my favorite state right now. And this is from someone in Texas.
Georgia on My Mind by Ray Charles is my favorite Grorgia song and it's the state song.
I may be from SC but I have to agree with Virginia on Hidden Figures. One of my favorite movies! Also, I love Forrest Gump too, but mainly because a lot of it was filmed in the lower part of the state of SC.
Also, Chadwick B. and Viola Davis are both from SC and in my opinion, two of the best actors I have ever seen.
Louisiana rep. Did you not see Steel Magnolias?? DUH!
Lousiana and georgia got a lot of them for movies. South Carolina guy radio prince of tides and leatherheads filmed in Greenville and spartanburg . North Carolina Harrison Ford movie I cant remember the name and few other movies filmed in north Carolina. Hannah Montana is not the only Tennessee movie. Damn girl. You need to Google search your state for filming movies
@@jessicahollingsworth3085 The Fugitive. Filmed in Western NC
I think Oklahoma I think Reba I think Kentucky I'm thinking Loretta Lynn I think Tennessee I think Elvis and Tina Turner and when I think Missouri I think Rhonda Vincent and Sara Evans
I don’t doubt that your Oklahoma fella is probably a nice guy. But he’s killing me in these videos. I yelled at my screen like it was Bedlam all over again.
I can't believe Texas didn't say ZZ Top
Or George Strait.
She's too young.
Or Janis Joplin
Or Selena
@@lynnbetts4332 she’s a refugee from California.
Arkansas......we gave the world WALMART! 🤣🤣🤣🤣RIPSam
I do love me some Wally World.
We also gave the world Tyson Chicken
Where’s all my other South Carolinians out there
Darius Rucker is a nice choice, but how do you not say "The Godfather of Soul" James Brown????????
How about Marshall Tucker Band? Dizzy Gillespie, Jeezy? Anyone?
Vanna white shoeless Joe Jackson andie McDowell Mary louise parker
Wasn't Gone with the wind in SC? Upstate SC here btw
@@rebeccahamilton3678 Tara was a short carriage ride from Atlanta.
Where the Heart Is is an Oklahoma movie from conception to production. Billie Letts was an Oklahoma writer and professor of English at Southeastern Oklahoma State University. It is the quintessential Oklahoma and Southern novel, and later, movie.
Reese Witherspoon was born in Louisiana. Harry Connick,Jr, a veteran actor on Broadway, Frederick Weller
Brittney Spears, from Mississippi? She was raised in Kentwood, Louisiana and claims that as her hometown. Yeah, she was born in McComb, MS, but just because the cat has kittens in the oven, it don't make 'em biscuits...
For North Carolina, how can you not mention Randy Travis, Charlie Daniels, Jodeci, Andy Griffith, or Ava Gardner? And woodworking...really?
North Carolina is home the first managed forest and forestry program in North America
Also for the song it should have been wagon wheel our state song
@@erinstephens6850 That is a good song. I do prefer the Darius Rucker version to the original bluegrass version.
Roy Underhill, of the Woodwright's Shop on PBS is in North Carolina and the majority of his shows were filmed in North Carolina. He went to both UNC Chapel Hill and Duke and did a lot of work with Colonial Williamsburg and has a woodworking school in Pittsboro, NC. He really has done a lot to focus on traditional woodworking and its importance. He's an really interesting dude.
I have watched all of these videos and I am convinced this guy is not from NC.
I love the shoutout to Tim Reed! I love Sister, Sister! X-D
The guy from Sc.... *sigh*
Everyone in my house was saying, Don't say Hootie, Dont say Hootie.
How about Chubby Checkers? Marshall Tucker? Eartha Kitt!!!
Did not know Eartha Kitt was from SC. Wow, how could someone not mention her!
Excellent! I enjoyed this. I grew up in central California but I was born in Lubbock, Texas. Same as Natalie Maines and Buddy Holly. Mom was born in Post.
Movie about Texas, filmed in Texas....GIANT
First one that came to my mind for Texas as well. Great movie!
Or The Alamo, or Texas Chainsaw Massacre. A classic.
That woman who sang the Kentucky song has such a beautiful voice. As for FL song some might say our official state song, Old Folks at Home (also known as Swanee River).
Is no one going to mention Elvis? He’s from Mississippi and has the song called Kentucky Rain. As for actors forgotten, Johnny Depp is from Kentucky, though his relationship with Amber Heard might make him a little contentious. And then food wise, Kentucky has also given us the hot brown and Burgoo and the mint julep.
How did she not say Gone with the Wind?!
When discussing Tim Reid, you go with "Sister, Sister" & not WKRP? Really? Venus Flytrap would like to have a word with you.
I grew up watching WKRP, its Thanksgiving so.... "Oh, my... The humanity of it all"....
@@spacedredd It was an amazing show that aged very well.
Exactly
Too young.
I was in Virginia Beach in 1977, long before it was built up and became a tourist trap. We rented a duplex, walked on the beach at night, and had a great time.
I think y’all should give them the questions beforehand so they can do some research. Some seemed unfairly represented.It’s difficult to answer questions on the fly with cameras and lights on you. Only trying to help with love ❤️. BTW I love your channel ❤️.
My guy from NC said bluegrass.... Bro we got more than that. Airplanes bro. We the first in flight. And we gave the world Jcole..
Can we get a new representative for NC this guy knows nothing about NC
Agreed, as someone born and raised in North Carolina we have given more to the world than wood working and bluegrass. We have given the world bbq, Krispy Kreme donuts, Pepsi and despite the name Texas Pete. Music wise we got Randy Travis, Eric Church, Ryan Adams, Luke Combs and Between The Buried and Me. We have given college basketball to the country with the best college basketball ball teams in the US which leads to the next cultural icon we’ve given the world; Michael Jordan. The greatest basketball player of all time know all over the world.
Also one of the most important battles of the American Revolution happened in my hometown of Greensboro NC. The battle of Gilford Courthouse which caused a large number of causalities for the British troops which made the British retreat from the South; they got cut off in their retreat in Virginia by Washington and was forced to surrender. NC saved the South during the revolution and helped our nation gain its independence
I agree!! Pam Grier, Ken Jeong, J. Cole, DaBaby, Sugar Ray Leonard, Jodeci, Shirley Caesar, Fantasia, Nina Simone, Jamie Pressly, Ava Gardner, Michael C. Hall, Terrence J, Nick Cannon, Fred Durst.
Athletes: Stephen Curry, Brandon Ingram, Dominique Wilkins, Michael Jordan, Chris Paul, John Wall, Bam Adeboyo, Todd Gurley
Angela Bassett originally lived in Winston Salem in the early stage of life before moving to Florida. Chuck Brown (founder of Go-Go) is originally from NC before moving to DC.
Really dude? Woodworking and bluegrass? I mean, I like the Woodright Shop and a little backyard pickin' as much and the next person, but no mention on the movie and TV production? How about Charlotte being the banking capital of the south? And how bout Kitty Hawk being the birthplace of aviation? Yes, conceived in Ohio, but born in NC. Probably the most advanced Zoo outside of San Diego. Furniture. Oh, and NASCAR. Not everybody's cup of tea, me included, but still pretty popular.
@@tracey5215 Cool.
Dear Folks (Again!):
So you did more in this genre! Well I liked it mighty well & for sure! Thank You (Again!) Geti
:45 Brittany Spears is from LOUISIANA
Kentwood, LA as a matter of fact. I couldn't believe they let that slide. He should have said Elvis Presley and nothing more.
Sweet Home Alabama never gets old
I feel REALLY sad the dude from Mississippi has never heard of Elvis! I can understand BB King, as Elvis l9ved him, too... but BRITNEY SPEARS BEFORE ELVIS?!?
No one in tupelo, MS claims elvis. The city does for tourism, but the locals do not
This is the best series going on the channel
Virginia - PATSY CLINE!!
Kinda disappointed The Devil Went Down to Georgia wasn’t claimed by Georgia
Lights went out in Georga
I feel the same about Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Old Yeller being mentioned as the movie for Texas.
Otis Redding; Gladys knight; and Ray Charles etc ....I’m just saying lol
I'm about to take away that gals Kentucky card. Elizabethtown? Yeah, it's nice city - lots of family there, but let me introduce you to a little movie called "Coal Miner's Daughter".
Johnny Depp is from Ky.
Owensboro !!!
Let's go Johnny!
I was going to say that myself!
Really, dude from Mississippi, not Elvis for the musician, and not the Doobie Brothers' Black Water for the state song? Jim Henson, James Earl Jones for the actor. The Blind Side for the movie.
Blind Side is set in Memphis. They just root for Ole Miss ( I do too, they need the help).
Black Water is about the Mississippi River, not the state. And its set in New Orleans.
@@williambreazeale always thought it was Mississippi. Not any worse than whatever state claiming Aretha Franklin. She maintained a Detroiter identity throughout her life.
@@squiresam I will claim it. New Orleans is its own thing, separate from the rest of the South. The Coastal areas of the south have much more in common with each other (particularly the stretch from Slidell, LA to Pensacola, FL) than they do with those living in the interiors of their respective states. That's like saying New Orleans has no claim to the blues, it belongs solely to Mississippi. Whatever song the metro from Mississippi picked, definitely NOT.
@@squiresam All right then, Alannah Myles "Black Velvet". It mentions Mississippi, and certainly describes the summers. Other than that "Dixieland", but that isn't politically correct.
Two things about where I live - Bobby Helms - Rocking Around the Christmas Tree; and the movie Hoosiers - true story.
Ah...hello...Texas blonde...
STEVIE RAY VAUGHN
zz top... janice joplin...
Mississippi low key has produced many great talent despite its adversity. I’m proud to call this state my birthplace. Now I can understand how the guy in video forgot to mention Elvis because majority of people usually associate Elvis with Memphis. But the Britney Spears answer, that’s a no go. She may have been born in McComb but she was raised in Louisiana. I could see Jimmie Rodgers or someone else.
how does the Georgia girl not mention Gone with the Wind?
Some Georgians don't know that takes place in Georgia. I didn't know that until I discovered it in HS (I'm 24).
Because it was an one liner hit wonder.
I immediately thought of The Devil Went Down to Georgia 😂😂
I am older and a Real Classic movie fan. So here goes..AVA GARDNER, North Carolina, Joann Woodward, Georgia, and Patricia Neal, Tennessee I think. There were many other classic stars from the South too.💕👍
My Okie rep have such generic easy answers, I was prepared to be disappointed in his movie choice. Then he went and pulled out Silkwood and defied all expectations. For once, you go Okie guy! (He did forget Woody Guthrie for music, which was sad. I think he was and is the best of our many great musicians.)
O Brother Where Art Thou is a movie about the making of the Kentucky Lake, classic for where I’m from. Surprised it wasn’t selected.
Wasn't Duane born in Tennessee and then lived there and Virginia for a bit before he moved to FL? I don't really consider him to be a Floridian
Love it!
