If someone calls you a punk, brat, jerk, dunce, fool, rube, bum, barbarian, cretin or a bunghole, he/she probably doesn’t know the source of those terms of endearment.
Flibberty Jib describes this Presidential Election cycle perfectly.

Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup (1905-1974) recorded “That’s All Right” in 1946, and was dubbed “The Father of Rock and Roll.” Crudup spent his life as a farmer and a moonshiner, and although a talented bluesman from Mississippi, he received few if any royalties for his songs that were covered by many, including Elvis Presley, Elton John and Rod Stewart. Crudup got chumped by the recording industry, and eventually went Galt – he decided that if he couldn’t get a piece of the action, why record at all.
1946 was the same year Pee Wee King recorded the classic “Tennessee Waltz.” (I wasn’t anywhere near being born then. The first version I remember was by Spike Jones and His City Slickers, and I wasn’t born then either, but I got a 45rpm copy, and here’s the flip side.)
Here’s The Duprees‘ version of “You Belong To Me,” and the song is not about slavery.
