Aug 2, 2017 1:00 AM - Out here in flyover country, you can't hardly go by the feed store without running into a reporter doing one of those Wisdom of the Heartland stories. Seems like they could have saved themselves a bunch of trouble by listening to a Hank Williams Jr. album instead: "I live back in the woods, you see / My woman and the kids and the dogs, and me / I got a shotgun, a rifle, and a 4-wheel drive / And a country boy can survive ... " Until a few months ago, that was pretty much my life, although I'd have had a hard time without some real country boys' help. There wasn't a man on our road that couldn't do a dozen things I couldn't.

By Gene Lyons
Jan 13, 2017 1:00 AM - Columnist Gene Lyons: American Conservative columnist Rod Dreher has written that "Hillbilly Elegy" "does for poor white people what Ta-Nehisi Coates's book ("Between the World and Me") did for poor black people: give them voice and presence in the public square."
