of something my mom said decades ago.

Back in the early 70’s, our next door neighbor had a country garage band. These neighbors were sweet but…not the sharpest tools in the shed. Anyway, the band was playing away one day while my mom and the band leader’s wife stood out on the sidewalk. My mom turned to his wife and said, “I hate music. But I love this.” The wife thanked her…

It's a catchy tune, and I understand the urge to want to get back at someone who cheats on you. I understand the urge to cheer on a fictional character who's getting back at the man who cheated on her. But the thing is, cheating sucks but it's not illegal. Doing a lot of damage to someone else's car is most definitely illegal.

country music karaoke contest.

Not someone who ever had to struggle on the club circuit, playing long gigs for little money, dodging thrown bottles, performing behind a chicken wire safety barrier, having to arm-wrestle the club owners best two-out-of-three to get their pay, enduring van breakdowns in the middle of nowhere, etc.

She’s just a Jesus-spewing daddy’s princess who lucked into a music career that should have gone to someone much more talented.

It was about the same time I stopped watching the show. But that launched her career, and she's had a few hit records and videos. She's no Taylor Swift, but she still gets big crowds at her concerts. I'm not a country-western fan, but I imagine the MAGAs must like her.

The winner gets an instant recording career.

And without having to pay the kinds of dues I mentioned above, the result is essentially recorded karaoke.

But if you sing with a twang and say ‘Jesus’ a lot, the MAGAts will buy anything you sell.

In Vlad's rented Volvo
But he don't know...

Not the fascist bullshit they're trying to drive
Knocked on doors all up and down this street
And I won't forget who's on his side
They're dead to me until I die

of the government is not a commercial decision, its a moral decision.

Sonje Henie, the greatest figure skater of her time--leagues ahead of anyone else, who dramatically changed the sport--performed for Adolph Hilter. That colors her legacy forever.

People need to get their priorities straight. Either Carrie is a fascist or she's clueless.
