Slog - Comments on "Fat People Crying" http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/08/country_bumpkins For the past two nights, the Key Arena has been filled with the two-headed hydra of country-flavored schlock known as Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's Soul2Soul tour. Along with the married talents of the headliners, the tour brought to Seattle Center a sudden density of schlocky new country lovers, inspiring a number of remarkable eyewitness sightings.

The Wolf, ya know the station that plays flag-draped new country/patriotic shit, was handing out promotional blinking light badges last night. Just as I supsected: Made in China.

That's like a fag basher wearing a pink pride shirt huh?
