Miss you my friend. Looking forward to your podcasts. I think I remember you said you were from a southern state? But redneck, that's a bit surprising. Although born in a 'northern state' and probably had a more pronounced accent at the time, while in the navy stationed at NAS Jacksonville, I was 'informed' by a teller at a movie theater that I was a 'damn yankee'. Never before thought of myself as other than an American socialist.
I miss you as well, my friend. I was born and raised in rural Texas. My Momma and her people are from rural Louisiana and my Daddy and his people are from rural Georgia.
That is correct! There is also a longer history of Scottish rebels using the term. Stay tuned, because we are going to be doing a show on this history in the coming weeks....
Roxanne Dunbarr-Ortiz if very good on this stuff, especially the Scotts-Irish (mercenaries to kill native americans). let me know if you need her contact info, i'm sure she would love an interview

And like you, I am a proud socialist!
David, weren't red scarves worn by miners as they were forming unions (mid 1800s) giving the term RedNeck?
