Rather than jump on the bandwagon and congratulate Will Leitch for his part in getting a bunch of hardworking student-athletes in trouble, we’ll instead focus on a far more depressing musical offering.
That great American patriot Tim Adams calls our attention to “Bush Was Right”, from The Right Brothers .
Witless parody or the worst marriage of music & politics since Steve Earle’s “The Revolution Starts Now”? Or perhaps both? Either way, this is no worse than The Click Five.
And I have a hard-on for hstencil?!?!?!? Dude, you’re madly in love with Will Leitch! God, get a room already and quit devoting every other post to this loser. Jeez, Gerard, you’re better than that. You’re a blogging legend. Don’t throw away your legacy like this.
between you and Jim H., i think I’ve got all the testimonial quotes I need for one week, thanks.
And for the record, less than one out of every 4 posts make reference to Will. On the totally-fucking-nuts stalker scale of things I still have a ways to go (then, again, it’s only thursday).
In researching a recent article pitch, I determined that one in four of Skip Bayless’ ESPN columns this season has been about Terrell Owens. So do with that comparison what you wish.
Also, the first part of that song sounds like “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” and the first post-“Bush Was Right” guitar lick reminded me (at least more than any other guitar lick ever has) of Nelson from The Simpsons.
Yep–Belgians in the Congo.
I listened a 2nd time, and in all seriousness, while I disagree with the sentiments, I do think it’s great that the guys who bought us “Stacy’s Mom” are still making music.
Since when did Bowling for Soup sing “Stacy’s Mom,” Gerard?
Tim,
I’ve had it up to here with your stupid indie rock references laced unto sports commentary. Where’s Jim Hoffman when we really need him?
what do they mean with ‘bush was right’ – did he just move to the left?
