Would you call this a Hoosicer-centric point of view?
Although actor Jim Nabors is best known for performing "Back Home Again in Indiana" every year at the Indianapolis 500, Nabors first sauntered into American pop culture in the 1960s playing Mayberry's lovable mechanic, Gomer Pyle.
It's true that in Indiana, Nabors is known for his Indy 500 singing, and within a 50- or 60-mile radius of the state capital, he might even be best known for that. But outside this state, he's just Gomer Pyle and nothing else. Well, there is the "is he gay?" stuff, which he denied for a long time but has been silent about lately. So that puts his 500 song no higher than third on the list.
