I'm from Georgia and I live an hour from the Bama line. It really is a nice and pretty state.

We're neighbors! A friend and I are thinking about going to see the June 10th show in Atlanta. I just can't decide if I want to pay that much for tickets. Whew, they are high this time and I usually go to Nashville to see them. Unfortunately there are no shows scheduled for there (yet). Plus, the Atlanta show is on a work night for me so I just don't know.

cool. I couldn't afford to go to a concert even if they were playing less than an hour away. A 17 y/o doesn't have $500 lying around to use for just whenever.

Born and raised in Alabama... I travel a lot for my work and I could tell you SO many stories of how the OTHER places in the country—many of which would give Bama the eyeroll—exhibit more of the characteristics they project on us (racism, bigotry, backwoodsiness, what-have-you) than I have ever seen in my hometown or home state. But such is perception.

Besides traveling, I've hired people to work here in Birmingham from all over. My favorite story is a couple who moved here from Philly more than a decade ago now. They say they still tell all their friends who live in Philly that Alabama is awful, just so THEY won't move here and ruin it.

And yes, Birmingham is a special place for a Fleetwood Mac fan. I took my five-year-old to see Lindsey when he was here last summer. Lindsey gave a great talk about the BN days in Alabama, and how special it was. And every time they come here, they mention it... though they won't be making it on this tour.

I'm seeing the band in Boston in June... can't wait. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying what passes for winter in Alabama, and looking forward to a beautiful, sunny, blue-sky day in the 60s tomorrow. Not bad for February.

Sweet Home Alabama and Roll Tide Roll.

I would love it if they came here this time, but alas

It's funny, I've lived on both coasts and in Europe and it always makes me laugh when people make those kinds of eyeroll comments. I understand why the Philly couple did that - in a hilarious way - but you know sometimes you just gotta Rammer Jammer Baby! LOL
