I'm planning on being in Dothan during the second weekend in June so I can hang out with all the cats who will be visiting town for the DHS Class of '69 40th Reunion.

This is a proposal for a reality show called
Southern Rock Pilgrimage http://rockpilgrimage.blogspot.com

Ownership of the title is simple.
IT'S MINE!!!!
I OWN the son of a bitch!

When one googles
"southern rock pilgrimage"
one gets only 2 hits.
Those are both posts from me on my blog ROCK PILGRIMAGE
from February of 2005.

I also have a claim to the first use of the term "rock pilgrimage" in the U.S.
but
apparently the term was coined in the U.K. a couple of years before '05.

Each episode of SOUTHERN ROCK PILGRIMAGE will focus upon ONE city.
The city will be THE STAR
& the rockers will be the tour guides.
Their commentary in cemeteries
& at the sites of former crash pads, estates, night clubs, girlfriend's houses, dope dens, recording studios, restaurants, etc. etc. will be accompanied by the appropriate music & archival footage.

All I want is a piece of the action.

The pilot should be shot in Jacksonville
It'll be a little cheap & nasty.

A couple of members of my immediate family invented copper wire fighting over a penny.

In my humble opinion,
this pilot will challenge the frugality of Coen Brothers production practices.
MY NINJAS KNOW HOW TO CUT CORNERS!!!!



Everybody connected will sign a contract.

Best,
