The most express violence depicted here, is in the hypothetical act committed against... A piece of cloth (known as a flag). ...followed by spitting in a cops face. Everything else, is left to the imagination. Which clearly y'all's run flipp'n hog wild....
OK "see how far ya make it down the road" sure seems like he either wants mod action to stop a person from leaving (felony) of wants BIG GOV to violate the constitution. probably both. as a con, I aint down with that.
"Wild Thing"? If that's the same "Wild Thing" from about half a century ago, I don't recall anything humorous about it (though all I remember is "Wild thing/ You make my heart sing/ You make everything groovy"). It was just a good song because it was different for its time. Like "Love Is Strange" (I think that was Mickey and Sylvia) was so different. Or, going back to the mid-1950s, "The Fool" was so different. I remember buying that record in Gainesville (I was there with my mom who was shopping) at a little record store out on 13th Street north of University. What I remember about that store is that it was so off by itself, the only store I remember even being out there besides the old pizza house close to University (which might be still there!). I mean, if you can believe it, back then it was just woods out on 13th. Forgive my nostalgia. Now back to Jason Aldean and his small-town vigilantes.
Billy bad ass fluff.... Bluster and BS... Doesn't even have the hutzpah to spell out what he thinks might happen. ...just a big fat blank, inviting the listener's imagination to fill in the blanks. Which y'all have done quite colorfully i'll concede, but please note it's y'all's imagination, not the writers', at work there.
Now wait a gosh darn minute, there's consequences for disrespecting an officer of the law in a small town, you gotta drink Gomer's secret corn squeezin' and have a slice of huckleberry pie.
You probably need to see a chiropractor later today. Your back must be killing you from all the pretzeling you’re doing to disavow what this song is trying to say. This video has a very “sundown town” vibe. You connected zero dots.
1. Armed robbery, destruction of property, and assault are bigger issues in America than vigilante justice. 2. "Vigilante justice" is a more distant issue than acts of "armed robbery, destruction of property, and assault" and "art glorifying vigilante justice" which are the direct issues presented by Aldean's song. 3. If Arbury is the best you got, you know you're flailing. That is such a tangent that doesn't warrant any entertainment.
Its not the same thing, it dont think it even samples the Troggs song, it actually illegally sampled a Van Halen song.
= you got nothing. Again, I laid out my interpretation in painstaking detail--because it was there, in plain site. Cut n paste lyrics (did you need me to cut & paste he 2nd Amendment?) All y'all can do, is wink at each other and nod, and claim 'dogwhistle'. Can't connect any dots though, because... ...they aint there.
I remember Barney Fife scaring some little kids to death by warning them about what happens to bad guys. "Incarceration!"
I'm just asking what you think "Well, try that in a small town, see how far ya make it down the road" means? Let me know if you're not going to answer the question and I'll quite wasting my time with you.
It's literally the point of the OP and in the title of the article. Jason Aldean's music video for controversial song pulled by CMT | CNN You're the one insisting on making this about some media boogeyman. So maybe you should produce some of the media you are angry about. Until then, this is just like.
In doing 'research' for this thread I came across this Rural purge - Wikipedia I think I understand now that Jason Aldean took the purge personally
I couldn't remember who did "Wild Thing." The Troggs rings a bell. Now here's a trivia question for you. Who did "The Fool"? (I can't remember.)
You didn’t address the images in the video though, did you? How do those images reflect on the lyrics? Better get that doc on the phone.
For me 'the Fool' is a cut on In the Aeroplane Over the Sea but I'm not familiar with the oldie song of that name. I say that knowing the album I'm talking about is like 25 years old at this point.
Gather around me, buddies, Hold your glasses high And drink to a fool A crazy fool Who told his baby goodbye.
