Toby Keith I Hate You

Toby Keith is one of many musicians that I really don't get. Wait, let me rephrase that. I get him. I get that he is a good ole boy from the country, raised right wing, raised not to question the right wing, raised to be afraid and threatened by anything that is different. Got it. But what I don't get is his popularity. I don't get why he has a record deal. Okay, so he's got patriotism. Yeehaw. Does he communicate it in an intelligent, respectful way? No. Now don't think that I'm siding with the Dixie Chicks after their whole feud. I think they were equally disrespectful as he was even if they were able to communicate their point in a slightly more well-spoken way. Is his music especially poignant or entertaining? In my opinion (which is highly regarded!), no. Not really. Of course that could be the dumb-ass-ness shining through to his music and affecting my point of view. Not sure.

I think my real point is that I don't like dumb people. If you know that you aren't good with things like "words" and "phrases" then just don't speak. That's especially true if you're a figure in the spotlight. Just do your job (which is to entertain) and hush up.

You probably shouldn't drive either because I'm sure you're one of the dumbasses that rides your brake all the way through a green light.

To end this lovely post (because you all know how enlightening this has been)...I also hate Nickelback. It's called singing not grunting. Learn the difference.

I promise to be more positive next time...perhaps talk of artists I love? Ooh goody!
