Comments on Whilst Following My Foe's Every Move

“They’re not for me. Bill’s a huge fan.”

Great... so now Bill's a pedophile? That's pretty disgusting. Someone please end this trainwreck.

Of course, calling the CMT Awards a "conservative pop-country cockwipe-fest" is a much better example of asshole elitism than anything Obama can do.

The implied pedophilia is lots of fun, but what we're really seeing here is Hillary reaming out some redneck a-hole for votes. In the past few days she's turned into a whisky-swiggin', bible-thumpin', country-music-lovin' Good Ol' Boy.

I expect to hear her saying "git 'er done" any minute now.

See, to understand this post, I would have to google Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus, and Rascal Flatts. Billy Ray Cyrus I was able to identify with the clues "country music" and "pop-country". Even so, I don't bother looking up more than two of the names dropped in a Slog post, so I guess I'll just have to keep scrolling rather than have any idea what you are talking about.

Same thing if you just say Lady Voles or Huskies or Sonics without saying which sport. Not going to bother looking that shit up dude.

It's so cool to know that skinny, flaccid armed little chainsmoking hipsters still try to strengthen their tenuous grasp on coolness by dissing shitkicker music, music often enjoyed in drinking establishments whereby aforementioned skinnyboys would get their asses whipped ten ways from Sunday by pickup driving rednecks if they ever sneered their opinions in said joints.

Truth is, I can't stand country music either but save the low hanging fruit for your livejournals. Cowboy up.

Oh, God. She's going to feign a Southern accent again, isn't she?

Please just stop Hillary. We won't hold it against you for too long if you just step down now, graciously.

@4 Bob, pickup driving rednecks don't listen to Hannah Montana, Billy Ray Cyrus or Rascal Flatts. And it's certainly not shitkicking music. It's over produced pop with fiddle or steel guitar thrown in to make it sound "country".

So what was your "dissing" of hipsters supposed to do? Something about grasping?

Seriously, @1 & @4: If you actually need me to point out the chasm that separates country music from CMT's fare, then you are welcome to believe that I am a skinny, flaccid-armed, chain-smoking hipster. The only lame thing I can cop to at this moment, sadly, is the Western-cut shirt I'm wearing.

I knew she was a lesbian, but now she has her depraved eyes on poor little Hannah Montana? No wonder Vince Foster killed himself.

(He was found with his underwear on backwards you know. That's because Hillary used to "peg" him, and that made for easy access)

I read this post as "Whilst Following Mr. Poe's Every Move".

@10: Sadly, that's what I read at first, too. But the CMT awards definitely out-creep the idea of Sam following Poe around the hill.

God, I am getting sick to my stomach.. Who had this stupid idea of starting this campaign season back in, when was it, November 2006? Whoever had that idea we need to find take outside and beat to death with baseball bats.

And Hillary's new slogan "Git 'er done!!"

Rednecks DO listen to the glossy country stuff. Real country is as extinct as sunshine pop or real soul. CMT music is simply pop music for white people now; it sounds like glossy pop because it IS glossy pop. It performs the same function in society that The Cars, Debbie Boone, or John Mellencamp performed 25 years ago.

the cars!?!?

Did they perform "She Left Me for Jesus" ?

Yes, the Cars. Pop music, you know? MTV, before they showed black people? The people who listen to country today are the white people who left MTV when black music started sounding like hip hop.
