And CURSE YOU MEARA! Because of you, I've been earwormed with "I believe in a Thing Called Love" all morning
MWAHAHAHAHA! Thanks for the info, too!
Of course, now I'm watching American Idol. Which will pain me in other ways. But I'm inflicting it on myself...
"Justice Was Back When the KKK Lynched People From Oak Trees" song.
That made my worst of 2003 list. Why has Willie forsaken us?
Yeah. The worst part is the chorus is so jolly and stupid about beer and horses, that you don't notice how EVIL the song is.
(OK, the first AmIdol girl doesn't suck. And I feel bad that she has to go FIRST. Damn)
Ok, where in "Beer For My Horses" does it mention the KKK? I have looked up the lyrics on a number of sites and don't see it. I see this:
Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys
Hang them high in the street for all the people to see
Jimmy Webb told a Glen Campbell story. I left before they were done; perhaps he told more.

It doesn't SAY the KKK.
But you tell me, in Texas, when people were being hung from oak trees by posses of men with horses, maybe they mean the Old West, but y'know, that's not what *I* think of.
I took it as the Old West. But, YTKLMV.
Yeah. I'm sure they MEANT the Old West. I just thought that lynchings and justice aren't really two things I want to equate. No matter the time period.

Since I looked up lynching statistics not too long ago, I remember being surprised seeing that more whites than blacks had been lynched in Texas. Kind of a horse thief deal out thataway.
One more time for the lame-o that is me. May I please have the link for the bookmarked liner notes? I promise to mark it for myself this time. Thank you!
