Book excerpt: THE TERM "REDNECK" ORIGINATED FROM THE RED SUNBURNED NECKS OF FARMERS THAT WORKED IN THE FIELDS. SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY IT WAS CHANGED TO DESIGNATE SCUMMY LOW-LIFE POOR WHITE TRASH. THEN ALONG ABOUT THE MID-SIXTIES IT MIRACULOUSLY TOOK ON A DIFFERENT TERMINOLOGY. THAT OF A CULTURED INTELLECTUAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL ERUDITE. TO BE REFERRED TO AS A "REDNECK" WAS THEN TRULY A COMPLIMENT. 1967-MAMA'S PLACE, A SLEAZY BEER JOINT NEAR SMACKOVER, ARKANSAS WILL FOREVER HAVE THE FAME OF BEING THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE CULTURED ERUDITE "REDNECK". WARNING: If you are offended by crude, obscene, vulgar and downright sinful language. DO NOT read this book.
