sometimes its good to be a redneck
« on: August 18, 2012, 03:53:39 PM »
It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Title fail, it's always good to be a redneck.

I can't say much for the visuals, but the Kentucky Headhunters do a much better job of murdering that song.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

Ain't nothing wrong with some good old fashioned fun.
Those young ladies may not be world class country stars but they are having fun and their audience is enjoying the show what else could you ask for?
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

I can't really make out the lyrics, but it seems to me there's a strong Austrian/Swiss/Bavarian accent to the blond singer.  Euro-hillbillies?  If so, I'd like me some Austrian Daisy Duke. >:D

Interlaken is an awesome place...even more so if there is a fiddle involved. Big "hills" there...figures there would be some big hillbillies.

Better we should export hip-hop and rap?

Suggesting that a Swedish techno band's annoying tune is some export of hardworking rural American culture?

It did not originate from a swedish techno group, they just covered it. I'd like to import some of the culture in that video.

I took your commemt as insulting to the orginating culture of that tune.

As it should be played:

Just because some euroweenies murdered it, doesn't make it our fault they like our music.

I was referring to the Daisy Duke costumes, mainly, and the field of frivolous pop music generally.

As a member of the rural working class, raised on Bill Monroe, I invite all of the butt-hurt among you to stuff it. Who died and made you more of a country boy than me?

Food court's closed.  =)

I've heard of bluegrass groups starting up in places like Japan and Russia, and I always thought that was great. But nothing about the performance in the OP resonates with my rural up-bringing. Seems more like a caricature of it that ends up being more like the Pussycat Dolls.

Nice....but the costumes are, typical for Germans, overengineered. Need more flexibility in the upper chassis to avoid injury....esp. if more jumping is involved....
