Don't make me laugh! Brings back memories of when I was a kid.
The "Bourbon Street Preacher" (as he's now known) was holding a revival at a church in Sumrall, Mississippi. Told the people that the reason they were having a drouth was because they were bad folks and weren't paying their preachers enough.
He was run out of town on a rail, much like the scene in "Oh Brother Where Art Thou?" and my dad said they tarred and feathered him when they reached the outskirts of town. I just remember there was a bunch of screaming coming from the guy on the rail and most of the grownups were laughing at him.
Remind me to stay away from your hometown. Yikes!
