"The only difference between Brooklyn NY, and Birmingham AL, is tht you can't get a gun rack in a Trans Am." This is the cold, hard, hilarious conclusion of the true life acventures of one Southerner's failed attempts to escape from Dixie.
Michael Graham - writer, comedian, radio talk show host, and former GOP flack - grew up in the rural South surrounded by 'large hairy people named Bubba, many of them women.' After eighteen years immersed in modern Southenism ("We don't really handle snakes, but we know where to get them on short notice.") Graham fled, in search of that other America: America the North.
