Some cool little facts mentioned there. I did think Dale's drums were a bit smaller lately then they had been. I thought i was imagining it though so it's good to have that confirmed. As regards the interview itself, i wish the interviewer didn't keep saying "y'all". Pretty cringe inducing.

"Y'all" is an essential bit of spoken language that belongs in English. Without it there's too much confusion between plural or singular in the second person. Just because the southern dialect made greater use of "y'all" and other Americans only occasionally use the uninspired "you guys" and the Brits never* address a group without their proper institutional name, "y'all" is now the canonical second person plural. I didn't grow up with it and I hated it for twenty years. If you can't beat 'em...

Well said.  What do British people say when addressing groups?  I'd guess some small informal groups wouldn't have a proper institutional name.  Without the "y'all", or the uninspired "you guys", would one say to Dale "you and the band", or just "the band"?

Y'all is from the British isles. I have it in a book. I'll look it up.

Weren't "olde English" accents also determined to sound essentially like what is now associated with the American South?

Thought that was a myth.

Yeah I know the story but I don't feel like 'splainin' it all to you.

Look up rhotic English and how it changed over time.

this thread took a weird direction

Ok, I stand by my statement about "y'all" the word, but now having heard the interview in its entirety there's something off-putting about the way the interviewer drops in and out of sounding professional, and the y'all is the most obnoxious of them. I get it now.
