Otis Redding: The Replacement
John D. Wyker, Cat Tales, 26 July 1999
I went to low school and high school in Decatur, Alabama, which is 45 miles east of Muscle Shoals. The high school girls had sororities or girls' clubs with names like Sub Deb and The J.U.G. Club. (The latter stood for JUST US GIRLS and not what it sounds like.)
