That is the joke. :)

I write from whence I know, however. I grew up in rural Virginia, and
have known many a Joe Bob User in my life.

Actually, my dad bought a Cadillac second-hand in roughly 1990, which
had an eight-track player sitting proudly in the middle of the
wood-grain dash. Luckily, my dad still had a few eight-track tapes
left from his collection, so we used to jam to Eric Clapton and Dwayne
Allman and the Grateful Dead in that Caddy.

Good times.
