Bobbie Lee Hartley:
Here we are, second half of the 20th Century. The 20th Century! And Mississippi has yet to hear a word of it. Amazing. Amazing! I've come this far in life and as yet I have seen no television, ridden in no convertible car, nothin' fortifyin' has crossed my lips but a Pepsi-Cola, nothin' venturesome has crossed my mind beyond two back issues of "Torrid Romance" - which I've read to death and I know better than the "Star Spangled Banner." My entire life is dictated by the 1925 Sears Roebuck catalogue - pages 267 to 295. We got plumbin' that the cave men gave up on 22 million years ago! And an outhouse that further utilizes the Sears Roebuck catalogue - issues 1895 through 1927
