What is perception? My perception about something may differ from yours. Then who is right?
Stop it - you're making too much sense.
This reminds me of when people say, "Perception is reality." No, it's not. REALITY is reality.
My husband is color blind. To him, browns and greens look alike. His perception is that there is NO DIFFERENCE between light brown and light green. But...there is. Just because he can't see it doesn't mean it's not there.
"If a tree falls in a forest and nobody hears it, did it make any noise?" Yes.

Can't imgaine a song called "Sweet Home Massachusetts".
Right, and this is what Lynard Skynard had to say about Neil Young:
Quote:
Well, I heard Mr. Young sing about her
Well, I heard ol' Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow
And yeah, you're right - I can't imagine a song called "Sweet Home Massachusetts" either. Or "Sweet Home Ontario."
The funny thing is, around here (east Texas) the minute "Sweet Home Alabama" starts playing, it brings the crowd to it's feet - EVERYONE - black, white, hispanic, you name it. The high school band played that song at a football game a couple of years ago around here, and the entire stadium jumped to it's feet and started dancing - young, old, black, white, Latino, you name it.
What a great song - thanks for referencing it. I do believe it's a bit more popular than any of Neil Young's diatribes against the American South.
I can't imagine a "sweet home Massachusetts" either.
I can, but I don't see it being sung by the old money elitists Mass residents would want us to picture populating the state. Rather I hear the moaning of incoherent drunk redsox fans.
Can't get more southern than "bless his heart". Especially when you're being critical of him at the same time.
Neil Young actually got along well with Lynyrd Skynyrd. He played "Sweet Home Alabama" live after the band member's death in a plane crash. Neil Young's commented on his song deacades later:
I don't like my words when I listen to it. They are accusatory and condescending, not fully thought out, and too easy to misconstrue
