A few weeks ago when musicians Rhett and Link asked permission to use one of my photos in a music video they were making, I had no idea that it would become part of what is the most entertaining BBQ-focused song I've ever heard. Backed up by the Homestead Pickers, Rhett and Link sing a high-energy ode to barbecue all around the South, offering their unvarnished opinions about everything from mayonnaise sauce to the status of the state of Florida. My favorite verse contains these lines:
When my life is through
Bury me in barbecue
But make sure it's vinegar-based
Because you know that slows decay...
