Hm. Interesting.

[Poulet Frit]

…it’s about drinking mostly…but so good

[Poulet Frit]

Warning. It’s a country song. He says the d word. A lot of country songs do.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Yep.

[Poulet Frit]

Go listen to it

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Didn’t you just tell me it has a bad word in it?

[Poulet Frit]

…it’s not like he says “m***”

[Poulet Frit]

It’s only said like 3 times

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

You do realize that you’re talking to someone that feels slightly guilty about having a song on his iPod that has the word h*ck in it, right?

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Also, it’s about drinking? You know how much Baptists like drinking…

[Poulet Frit]

Carrot. It’s a catchy song. There are worse things to listen to than that.
And ain’t nothing wrong with a drink every now and again.

[Poulet Frit]

And it’s not necessarily just about drinking. It’s circular reasoning

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Catchiness does not make a song good. I know there are worse things.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

There are also better things to listen to.

[Poulet Frit]

Nothing is better than country

[Poulet Frit]

I’m the only person here that shares that thought though

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

It’s all a matter of personal opinion. Generally songs without bad language > songs with bad language, though. At least from a lyrical standpoint.

[Poulet Frit]

Well, yes. But even songs that have meaning, that aren’t about drinking and girls and trucks. Song that don’t have cuss words, are hated because they are country.
Accidental racist by Brad paisley and LL cool J was and still is frowned upon by those above and below the mason dixon. It’s a fantastic job about how that history is behind us and we need to let it stay there.

[Poulet Frit]

Song* not job

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Hm, interesting. Is there language in that one?

[Poulet Frit]

Not at all.

[Poulet Frit]

LL cool J is a rapper from up north. Brad paisley is a country singer from the south. The song itself is a beautiful message to the people in the south that are divided for no good reason. In the song, Brad says “oh dixieland. I hope you understand what this is all about” and nobody did at first. Everyone hated it. Most still do. It was so controversial.
“Caught somewhere between southern pride and Southern blame”
We just try to find the balance down here. Yes, we know slavery is wrong. But we are proud of our history. It’s our roots.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

I’m not sure why it’s controversial… I can’t say as I a fan of Confederate flags, though.

[Poulet Frit]

Because we see the confederate flag as history. We wear it. (I dont) it’s history. Nothing else. It’s just…what it is. We don’t agree with what it was. But it’s not what it used to be.
We wear it because like Brad says, he was just trying to say that he liked the band. Not meant as hate.
And like LL cool J says, people see the white cowboy hats and automatically assume the person wearing it is racist and wishes them to be a slave…
It was controversial and…was not loved and accepted

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

I’m not sure that history is the only reason that people use the flag, though.
I understand liking the band and their logos, but it also kind of depends on why the band is using that as their logo.
People seriously think of people that wear white cowboy hats are racist? That’s kind of silly.
But why was it controversial?

[Poulet Frit]

It was controversial because this big tough rapper and a country singer did a song together. Everyone flipped out. Idk.

Yes, it depends on how the flag is used, but for the most part it’s mainly a history thing. And as for liking bands and stuff that use it, I agree. It depends on why it’s being used.

[Poulet Frit]

They tend to associate white cowboy hats and “invisible white hoods” together.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

That’s a really weird thing to get mad about.
Yeah, maybe it’s used for history down there. Up here, however, it’s mostly used when people want to seem like a cool tough rebel redneck person.
“Invisible white hoods?”

[Poulet Frit]

Down here it’s typically history, until you find a redneck. Then it’s not really.

Yes…ummm….kkk

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Oh right.
