Bad Music

-I think it’s time for the people of video game land to bring Double Dribble to PS2. I had a dream about this game last night. They graphics were up to PS2 standards, but the announcer still said, “Dub-el dwe-bel”
-I was flipping through some channels last night and saw a brief clip of a country music awards show. A woman was singing, and the lyrics were, “Ain't nothing wrong with the bible… Ain’t nothing wrong with the flag… Ain’t nothing wrong with the workin’ man…” Then I turned it off. I think the song is called, “Ain’t nothing wrong with pandering.” It’s off her award winning album, “Fuck Grammar, but Only After You Marry It.”
-I stayed with Andy Kline (his link is to the right) in NY on Monday. After a few Madden thrashings, we stumbled across a show on Discovery Travel, called Hate Rock. I’m not sure why it was on their travel channel, but who cares. It was about neo-Nazi rock bands. And it was interesting. I wish I could remember the names of any of the bands, but I can’t. They were all like “Gideon’s Renegades,” but worse. There was a lot of idiotness going on in the program. Here are some examples:
A) They were all wearing swastikas, which makes sense because they were neo-Nazis. But they also decided to incorporate every other symbol of hatred. For example, they were really big on the Confederate flag, which should put the whole “It’s about states’ rights” argument to rest.
B) One girl was wearing a shirt that said, “Holocaust Survivor,” which prompted Andy to say, “Even through all the hate, they still love ironic t-shirts.”
C) One group had a song called “Kill Pedophiles.” The lyrics had something to do with “stringing up pedophiles in a noose.” This made me mad. Did they run out of people to hate? Did they run out of standard hate-topics? I have to admit that I’m somewhat disappointed that they would hate something that we all hate. Maybe they’re trying to bate people in with the pedophile song. Outsiders hear it and go, “I hate pedophiles too. What else should I hate? Let’s go to track two… Oooh…oooh… that’s what I thought he said… this one’s a little off-base. I’m with them on the pedophiles song though.”
D) At one of the shows, they had a black light over the stage. Andy said, “Do you think some of them objected to the black-light?”
E) Everyone in the show kept talking about how it’s their mission to “stop the Jews from running the world.” Of course, they hated all other non-crackers as well. But the funny thing is that they all live in the mountains of West Virginia and the middle of Mississippi… so they’ve never even seen a Jew, or a black person, or an Asian, or a Mexican. So, I don’t know what they’re basing this hate on (I know it’s ignorance. Keep reading). I’d like to take them all to NY and drop them off so they can meet the people they hate. I think it will open their eyes. “I used to think that Jews ran the world, but I met a nice Jewish fella’ in New Yawk. He don’t even run the Subway he works at.”
-I did a show in Westminster, Maryland last week. When I agreed to do the show, I thought that it was just outside DC. So, I went to Google Maps a few hours prior to the show… that was when I found out that it is 23 miles from Gettysburg, PA. Oops. The crowd was okay. They were offended by my pro-gay marriage stuff, because who needs civil-rights? I also couldn’t do my new Roadhouse joke there. I was going to, but didn’t at the last minute, because I decided that the audience probably thought Roadhouse was a documentary.
