So Rose has been nannying this summer for a few girls, one of whom is obsessed with county music. I am not usually one of those people who says they "love everything but country." I believe Country to be an integral American art form. I never said I listened to it though...
Anyway, Rose introduced me to a song which is taking the country charts by storm (apparently), Rodney Atkin's "It's America." You can watch the video on your own. Never mind the blatant disregard for mentioning anything BUT midwest American state stereotypes. But what country song actually gives mention to inner city LA, the Pacific Northwest, or the Bay Area. And I only hit the West Coast.
Now I DO hate every patriotic country song as the next "No on Prop 8" person (I stereotype), but this song, this hit, is probably the most racist piece of shit I have seen yet. I guess I can let you decipher the images. I am pleased to show you a couple frames, primarily Rodney Atkin's reaction to a few fellow musicians south of the border:
Fellow Musicians:
And Rodney Atkin's reaction:
That's one pissed racist who don't like no one messin' with his 'merica.
Check the video out yourself. Right around 2:37.
