By that I mean, play Skynyrd, drink beer, and watch Smokey and the Bandit?

Am I bad?

1. no
my husband is a die hard liberal.

His hobbies are cars, motorcycles, electronics, radio, etc...stuff like that.
He calls himself a gearhead.

On the weekends, he walks two doors down to the bachelor brothers, where they talk shop...and they all work on each other's cars together.

Now these two guys are nice guys, but they are rednecks. The Texas suburban kind...exactly like you would find on King of the Hill.

After hanging out with his liberal, politically active, well spoken, urban-ish, musical, writing, creative, animal loving wife...
I think there is only so much of that he can stand, so he goes down the street to "get a little red-neck".

I've been teasing him that he goes down there to get the redneck out of his system.
He doesn't disagree. :P
