Comment:

A tiny picture of the Christ haunted south.

" Whenever I'm asked why Southern writers particularly have a penchant for writing about freaks, I say it is because we are still able to recognize one. To be able to recognize a freak, you have to have some conception of the whole man, and in the South the general conception of man is still, in the main, theological." -Flannery O'Connor

Very, very nice. That Ryan Adams track is easily one of my favorites.
