GOP: harangue for the twang?

country-first-300.jpgHey Blog Guy, I’ve been asleep for the last year. What’s the main issue in the upcoming election?

Uh-oh. I slept a lot too, but I believe the big issue is music.

Music?

Yes. Republicans want to make country music our official music. If you watch their convention you’ll see lots of signs saying “COUNTRY FIRST.”

That’s not much of an issue. 

It is if you think how much the Democrats love rock ‘n’ roll.

What about classical music?

Get real. That’s for Europeans and Austrians. They can’t vote here.

country-first-joe-180.jpgDo the Republicans accept any other kind of music at all?

Sure. Some of them are okay with both country and western.

You don’t know anything, do you?

Not much, so it’s nice of folks to read my blog.

One comment so far

Indeed, country music is everywhere! By the way, Austrians are Europeans. :-) And I truly hope people listen to classical music all over the world.
