Rogin sounds like a pretty interesting person. It must've been cool to hear his lectures.
As for Southern accents, I think Hollywood plays a big part in making the fun acceptable. As long as the stereotype exists -- especially of "the Southern woman" -- it will continue to be an issue. What's ironic is that I was never comfortable in the South because I really don't fit/behave like a Southern woman should. Too brash!
