  Stars and Bars flag (U.S.)
The first official flag of the confederacy was the Stars and Bars, and was reported to the provisional congress of the C.S. by the flag committee on March 4,1861.
The fourteenth star was for Maryland, whose governor was under house arrest and whose legislature was disbanded until the jailed members were replaced in a election where all voters had to take an oath of allegiance to the federal government.
The most interesting (at least to me) version of the Stars and Bars is the 18 star version used by Gen. Stand Wa tie, the last confederate general to surrender his command, the Cherokee Brigade.

I had heard and liked Emmylou Harris's harmony vocals on Dylan's Desire and was pleased to see she sang with Neil on Star Of Bethlehem.
I love this album, I love to listen to it, but I must say I was expecting Neil to change the world of music forever on the next album after the concert I had attended and instead had to be satisfied with just a very listenable and fun record.

 First National Flag   (Site not responding. Last check: )
This flag design, which is the most appropriate single selection to represent the Confederacy (neither the "Rebel" flag nor "Battle" flag were ever even offically adopted), is far less recognized, and so is far less objectionable, than the "Rebel" flags.
This is the first official flag (which replaced the impromptu "Bonnie Blue"), designed by Nicola Marschall of Alabama, had seven stars representing the original seven members of the Confederacy before Lincoln's unconstitutional act of raising an army, without Congress, to put down the "armed rebellion".
The failing of this design, the Stars and Bars, was made apparent when General "Stonewall" Jackson was fatally shot by his own troops when riding in fast when they mistook it for a Yankee flag, the Stars and Stripes.

"Stars and Bars" is a slight but likable Dixie variation on the thawed Celt genre with Daniel Day Lewis relaxing his stiff upper lip.
Here, the cerebral satyr of "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" is obviously taking a summer vacation in the role of polite, Pooh-Bearish Henderson Dores, who comes initially to Manhattan to learn to be American -- bold, brash and rude.

Material pulled off a normal star is heated and emits X-radiation as it falls toward its fl hole or neutron star companion.
As in the elliptical galaxies, NGC 4649 and NGC 4697, the point-like sources are due to fl holes and neutron stars in binary star systems where material pulled off a normal star is heated and emits X-radiation as it falls toward its fl hole or neutron star companion.
It is not surprising that fl holes would gain companions more frequently when in a globular cluster, which are common sub-units of galaxies that can contain a million stars in a region of space that is normally host to just one or two stars.

 Rolling Stone : American Stars 'N' Bars : Review
At any rate, Young's Mona Lisa smile from the barroom floor on the curious American Stars 'n Bars isn't so much arrogant ("If you can't cut it/Don't pick up the knife") as it is inclusive ("I know that all things pass/Let's try to make this last").
If one can divide American Stars 'n Bars into major and minor Neil Young, I think that it breaks down this way: "The Old Country Waltz," "Saddle Up the Palomino," "Hey Babe," "Bite the Bullet" and "Homegrown" are excellent examples of country rock at its most pleasant and muscular.
While these songs abstain from cloyingness and retain the artist's characteristic idiosyncrasies (Young is nothing if not quirky), they lack the necessary resonance to stand up to the LP's four masterpieces.
