Bubba is simple hillbilly loser who gets pushed around at his job, his local watering hole, and most importantly the girl (Bobbie Jo) of his dreams.

    In my high school, students are grouped by appearance or attitude. There are the “emo” kids, hicks, athletes, nerds, and outcasts. The classifications seem fair at first glance. The classifying is done by other students. Seldom do you see the categorized students referring to themselves as a “goth,” or “redneck.” The way someone dresses is the main reason that influences what other people think about them.
