The Redneck Capricorn

oly balls guys, have y'all heard about the planet Saturn? Saturn is a hell of a planet. He's "Father Time" the crotchety old man informing you that somehow you are spoiled with all these modern gadgets as well as being miserably unfortunate to not have lived through the "good old days". There is a feeling of restriction and not being able to do exactly whatever you want but being free to get whatever it is you truly need.

There happen to be a surplus of Capricorn Rednecks in the world. Some are so backward they don't want their little women working after they get married or their children dancing to that renegade Billy Ray Cyrus.
These people stick to tradition even if it leaves them in the dust. They borderline worship their family even  if their families have abandoned them or made their lives miserable. (Often their families are awesome and nobody could blame them.) This clinging to tradition is a cornerstone of the Capricorn Redneck. These folks pull one of the greatest tricks of the zodiac. They are born with a rather old, stubborn and even wise sort of attitude and as they grow older chronologically they get younger in spirit.
 These are the people at the barn dance who at first sight look like someone practically dressed them and propped them up in the corner until they start to move and they have more energy than 92% of the young bucks present.

If you look up the birth dates of some of the most prolific and famous country and bluegrass musicians you are going to see one hell of a lot of Capricorns. If music is their calling, they might not find it 'till they've gone grey but they'll be at it harder, faster and longer than almost anyone else. The beautiful, endlessly charming and caring Dolly Parton is a Capricorn and I'm not interested in imagining what the world would be like without her. If you want to donate to her good cause or know someone with young children who could use some more books. http://imaginationlibrary.com/

  1. It's hard to imagine Dolly as a Capricorn, she seems a bit feistier than what I think of when I think of Capricorns. But that's probably why she's lasted as long as she has.
