I’ve lived in Alabama for fifteen years, and the last thing Tuscaloosa county wants to give up is the song “Sweet Home Alabama”.

Guys, try not to judge ALL Alabamians just because there are a lot of racists/inbreds here. We’re not all like that. Just a slight majority. =)

I agree with you fully. I’m from Alabama and while there have been times in my life I couldn’t wait to get the hell out of here, it’s still home (I was abroad this summer and after 6 weeks I couldn’t wait to come home!)
I can’t stand people making such terrible stereotypes about it.
Yes, many people are poor and can’t afford higher education. Yes, many people are very religious. There are still racists in the “backwoods” areas, just like in every state (including some of these others mentioned in the graph, Ohio, Idaho, Iowa… many people who live “out in the country” in those states are just as racist as country people in Alabama).
But that doesn’t make it a terrible place to live. I graduated from Auburn University in Auburn, AL, recently and if these jackasses knew anything, they’d know that Auburn has a great engineering school and has produced several Astronauts. Our architecture school is one of the top 10 in the country as well. Just because they have these ridiculous stereotypes about us doesn’t mean they’re at all true. Get a clue people!

I thought people had finally moved past the “I’m a redneck weeyith a therdd grayed edukayshun” stereotypes. It’s really not that bad of a place to live. I’m not saying there aren’t a lot of problems in some places (there are), but there are also some really nice places to live in Alabama. Ever heard of Mountain Brook?

However, Huntsville is different from the rest of Alabama. When I drive to Birmingham, i usually hear it at least once per trip.

I live in Huntsville, AL. Most everyone here is an engineer or a rocket scientist. (Thats why they call it Rocket City) I hear this song all the time on the radio on my way to school.

I hear this song constantly on the local classic rock radio – I’ve heard it so many times it makes me nauseous and queasy now. I used to think it was a decent song. Now that I’m stationed in Alabama and I’ve heard the song over and over and over again, I refuse to listen to it just based on the sheer fact that it’s simply been played too much for my taste.

The penchant for Maine Rednecks to love the hell out of country-western music is puzzling at best. Sometimes they sing this one as “Sweet Home Aroostook” or other Maine county. My high school graduation song and prom song were both by Garth Brooks.
