Perhaps it survived because, except for Levon, they were a bunch of Canadians performing faux-rockabilly? Levon stopped playing it, even at his Woodstock barn gigs, allegedly because he hated what Joan Baez had done to it, though he was full tall tales and bullshit. — PolitiTweet.org

@danfromdc @YorkshireTX @JanetMaslin I like the song. And glad it’s survived. I did think glorification of Robert E Lee would sink it.
