In 1938 "The Great Speckled Bird" by Roy Acuff was the first song with lyrics to be performed on the Grand Ole Opry. Up until this time instrumental music was considered "pure" country. But, Acuff introduced lyrics with religious wholesome themes that opened the door to country singers to perform on the Opry. Once vocalists were allowed to perform on the Opry using religious themes, the door was open to moral, or righteous lyrics and eventually the secular songs that dominate the radio waves today. Listen to the lyrics of the "Great Speckled Bird" and identify what Roy Acuff's "Great Speckled Bird" was a metaphor for?

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
