You know what? Sometimes, we just want to be entertained.
But, since I don’t like Darryl anyways, and haven’t purchased anything by him, I’ll let this slide. I did buy ol’ Toby’s Greatest Hits CD, but Angry American isn’t on it. He sang it concert, which I saw, but my main gripe about it is, it just isn’t very good.
Now, Lee Greenwood’s Proud To Be An American… THAT’S a good song. (regardless of what it’s really named)
Mmmm… lessee… yipper, got Alan Jackson’s song. Going to see the Chicks later this month (next month?). I wonder what that girl will say in Oklahoma City? (Remember April 19, 1995?)
Gonna see Tim McGraw, too. Should be a hoot.
I see your point, but what’s the big deal? When I want news, I have multiple sources to turn to, when I want Country Music, I’ll listen to what I like.
Shows how much I know about country… apparently, Johnny Sea is, in fact, Johnny Sea’s real name. He sure as hell sounds a lot like the MIB on the 45 I’ve got, though.
Avalonian, no, that wasn’t the one I was thinking of. The first line is somehting like “Hey, Mr. President, I don’t want your job”. Maybe I have the title wrong. I’ve only heard it once. And there were little snippits of interviews of the soldiers in the Gulf between lyrics.
The Albany, NY country station has been playing “The Angry American” a lot lately, but I haven’t heard the Darryl Worley shitfest mentioned in the OP played on air at all. If they did play it, I would call them up and (politely) give them my opinion.
I hate Darryl Worley. Just hate. Hate him with a passion. Hate with nothing but pure, unadulterated hate.
I don’t think he’s a very good singer, for starters - I think he sounds like Minnie Mouse hyped up on steroids, having a severe case of the verbal shits. Whenever any song of his comes on the radio, I change it instantly.
That said, a local radio station pissed me off a couple weeks ago. The morning show was talking about the whole debacle in Iraq, and said that they should take the Toby Keith song, blare it on the speakers of their station van, and then just take it right through the local peace rallies downtown.
I have no respect for them anymore. I highly resent the implication that because I do not support the war, and I think the President is trying to prove his dick is as long as Pappy’s, does not mean I’m not American (except for the days when I don’t claim it). My father served in the military, I attended Girl’s State in high school (one of six out of approximately two hundred), and I tried to join the Navy (and was told I was too fat, heh (though not like that)). I have voted in elections, I have never gotten so much as a parking ticket, but I’m not American.
In the meantime, I don’t listen to Worley, and the Dixie Chicks’ noise (because I cannot, in good conscience, call it music) has gotten worse.
Maybe I’ll just listen to rock a lot more.
Maybe I’ll just hang up a picture of Cthulu over my computer.
Wayell hayell then Billay, with that kinda tude lets go kick the fuckin rag heads in the mouth for believin’ Osamy and Sad-dam. They buy into their crap.
And I am assuming that since you are a professed CM fan, your are volonteering to get kicked in the mouth first?
Fucking moron.
You don’t like the fucking song, turn the fucking station. If you think all music should have a message, you missed it by about 30 years.
The only one I like is Aaron Tippin’s “Where the Stars and Stripes and Eagles Fly.” I note that it was written before the 9/11 events but published after, so that could explain why it is somewhat nationalistic without being overly jingoistic. I can tolerate “Angry American”, but “Where Were You…” makes me ill.
Unfortunately, ever since the pressure on Iraq heated up (last November or so), I’m having trouble listening to Country radio. Too many of the DJs are so very “pro-war” and I’m not, so I’ve tended to listen to news radio (usually NPR which in trying to present all viewpoints on the war is being accused of being overly leftist because they report on the anti-war protests).
I did buy ol’ Toby’s Greatest Hits CD, but Angry American isn’t on it. He sang it concert, which I saw, but my main gripe about it is, it just isn’t very good.
