Sounds like someone is familiar with how things are run in Virginia.
Based on my years living there, I would say the chance of Sweet Virginia becoming the official VA state song is zero.

It would be cool indeed. However, despite the author of that article trying to argue it, I can't see the uptight political folks green lighting this song with the lyrics about scraping shit off shoes and hiding speed in them.

Would the Stones demand royalties every time this song is played at a state function?

Yeah and the Catholic church should probably make "Faraway Eyes" an official hymn. After all, Jesus gets a mention in it!

Even if Virginia's upstaters (Arlington, Fairfax, and Prince William counties and the city of Alexandria, i.e., the people whose taxes account for 80% of the state's revenues) supported it overwhelmingly, the Richmond crowd would never go for making Sweet Virginia the state song.
There's that four-letter word in the chorus that might not go over so well downstate. People downstate were probably just fine with the way the FCC handled four-letter words until yesterday.

Seems like a pretty dark piece of music, with all the drug references and post 60s ennui.

Yeah the "I got the desert in my toenails" line would fit in good for Virginia....This sounds like a song written in LA if I've ever heard one.Quote

That's almost as bad as California where they want to change the offcial state rock. Serpentine,because it has asbestos in it. Which has led to many scientists coming to the rock's defense.....you can't make this shit up.Quote

...perhaps...but the greatest joke/travesty is that the Virginia DA got his degree from Bob Jones University....hard to imagine anyone even recognizes that as an accredited anything.
