The Bottle Rockets - Wave That Flag

This week I talk about The Bottle Rockets song Wave That Flag. I talk about the three flags of the Confederate States of America. Then I discuss heritage versus hate. This should be fun.

Warning

This podcast does have some cuss words. If this offends you, please don’t listen.

Wave That Flag by The Bottle Rockets

Brian Henneman

Played with Uncle Tupelo on March 16-20, 1992.

The Bottle Rockets are Brian Henneman, Mark Ortmann, Tom Parr, and Tom Ray.

Wave That Flag is off an album named Bottle Rockets and the Brooklyn Side

First Verse

Look, here comes another one,

4-wheel drive.
Look there in the window, man,
Saints alive!
That good ol’ boy’s waving
The stars & bars.
It’s a red, white & blue flag.
It ain’t ours.

Chorus

Wave that flag hoss, wave it high

Do you know what it means? Do you know why?
Maybe being a Rebel ain’t no big deal.
But if somebody owned your ass
How would you feel?

Three flags of the CSA

First - Stars and Bars, designed by Nicola Marschall, Prussian-American (also designed the gray uniforms)

Second - The Stainless Banner

Third - The Blood-Stained Banner

What most people think is the flag of the CSA…

Confederate Battle Flag - Army of Northern Virginia
