Divinest Sense

The Dixie Chicks’ latest album is topping the Billboard country music chart, which is based on album sales. I’m so proud of my homegirls, who have succeeded based on their enormous talent and original sound, despite the fact that they’ve been frozen out by the country music scene. Other country artists frequently poke fun at them, and country radio stations refuse to play their hits, all because Natalie Maines spoke her mind and said what we were all thinking. Well, guess who has the last laugh? Here’s to the women who single-handedly made country music interesting and relevant again.

A friend of mine found this little gem the other day… the National Review’s 50 greatest conservative rock n’ roll songs of all time! Hooo-eee. I think I actually gave myself a hernia reading this.

Let’s examine the offerings. OK, “Sweet Home Alabama”, I can buy that. Definitely some rage against urban elitism there. Kid Rock? I won’t argue with you. Any 80’s song that’s even vaguely anti-communist? Ummmmm, missing the point, but I can sort of buy it. But “Cult of Personality” by Living Colour? Bwaaaahahahahahahaha! Are you effing kidding me? Will somebody please telephone Living Colour and ask if they’d like to say anything about that?
