Speaking of Ignorance
REDNECKS
Meet “The Right Brothers” no, not Orville and Wilbur; but Frank Highland and Aaron (in?)Saine, a Tennessee right-wing Christian band who are supposedly “Linkin Park wannabes”. Their canon includes “Stop Global Whining” and “I’m in Love With Ann Coulter” (which is “scarily” catchy
with lyrics like: “I’m in love with Ann Coulter, all I want to do is hold her. And have her read her books to me, just like she does in my dreams. ROTFL). But their “finest” moment is “Bush Was Right” a redneck version of Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire”.Apparently they are quite popular in the right wing blogospere. When I first heard about them, I assumed they were an “act” like Stephen Colbert, and mockingly pretending to be extreme right wing conservatives to showcase how ridiculous the extreme right can be. To add to the fray, their lyrics mimic those of Weird Al Yankovic, which lend credence to the entire act being a hilarious send up. However, the more I researched, the more they appear to be for real, and have a real conservative following. Very strange but true. Click below to hear a song. Warning: You might not be able to get it out of your head. Maybe they’re secretly hypnotizing people? LOL (if the music player below isn’t showing up, press F5 on your PC. Not sure why it’s fussy.)
