The title of the song is what got me. I immediately thought of Richmond's history as the capitol of the Confederacy.

This is my first comment since joining. While I was always fine being mostly a lurker on Reddit for 12 years or so, I feel more invested in the smaller conversations going on here. Yeah, I like a long drawn out thread but the fact that there isn't much jockeying for karma or making jokes just to kind of "meme along" makes it feel more authentic. Forums and discussion boards are always going to be filled with inanity and jokesters, it's been that way since BBSes and usenet in the 90s but the federated nature of Lenny and others feels more natural and reflective of actual social groups, rather than ones forced into boxes or walled gardens like so much of the internet these days. Thanks everyone.
