Speaking of long hair hippies passing thru the South.....

I lived in the Florida panhandle for a while and one of the local rednecks to me a story. The 1968 National Convention of the Republican Party was held in at the Miami Beach Convention Center. To get to Miami from points west you drove on US 98 right thru some rough little towns. The local rednecks would wait around for VW vans full of "long hair hippies" headed to Miami to protest the war. When they would stop for gas the rednecks would just pick a fight and kick some azz for fun. He laughed and laughed when he told me this.
