        Now I’m trying to imagine what a mashup of country music and Laibach would sound like.

            That’s more or less what’s going on in the intro to WWIII. Although KMFDM doesn’t go into martial industrial territory, just industrial metal.

    I am hearing that on his deathbed Toby Keith received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

    Fuck this guy. Rest in piss. Everyone at work today is crying and playing his music and I wanna throw up.

    Half of his songs are about how American genocide is good. The other half are about being an alcoholic. He spent his life catering and pandering to the American police state and endorsing any/all acts of American military genocide. I hope he’s in hell.

            The ‘Try that in a Small Town’ guy is basically “Mom can we have fascism abroad?”

            “We have fascism at home, sweetie.”

        That was Lee Greenwood and it was written for Reagan, then used as Poppy Bush’s campaign song. It was the theme to the Gulf War.

        Every song is about beer, trucks, guns, conservative christianity, and white nationalism. It’s advertised “for country boys yeehaw” and the average listener has never taken their lifted extended cab duelly off pavement in their life, let alone put anything in the bed aside from the weekly Costco run

                Yes. Lenin always drank beer in the pub in Zimmerwald. Beer is the drink of the revolutionary proletariate.
