Inspired by a Facebook friend who used a redneck application I didn’t know existed, I just completed a form to learn that my “redneck name” is Cooter Jackson.

Cool. I love sharing the TV name of a “Dukes Of Hazzard” character. And Ben Jones, the actor who played Cooter, is an enlightened redneck if ever there was one.

He lived in Hollywood, served in Congress and later became a mainstay, along with The General Lee, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. We used to love driving out to Sperryville just to see Cooter chatting it up with the rednecks who flocked to Cooter’s Place.

These days you have to travel to Tennessee to relive the Cooter experience.
