... He didn't say anything incorrect. I'm not real sure why he should "read up on him." Most southerners know waaay too much about him, and always have some sort of bloodline to him.
Southern fashion is influenced by the Gulf. That's simple. I was talking with one of the brothers and he use to competitively yacht down in Houston. He gets so pissed when he sees Sperry's, Croakies and so on because he knows they don't yacht, because I mean we live in Arkansas, which is what they're used for. I'm in the Gulf 2 months out of the year and it's necessary to wear Sperry's and croakies so my glasses don't fall off.
