The Right Brothers

After I came across the gay bands list (see below entry), I also came across a list of "safe" bands. One of them was The Right Brothers.

It turns out that The Right Brothers, or as they abbreviate themselves TRB, are a politically charged band of the "conservative" flavor. With songs like "I'm In Love With Anne Coulter", "Bush Was Right", and "The List (of Liberals We Can't Stand)", you should get a good idea of the bands messages. With a pop country delivery an lyrics like...

Bush was right!
Bush was right!
Bush was right!

Ted Kennedy - wrong!
Cindy Sheehan - wrong!
France - wrong!
Zell Miller - right!

...they keep their message as crystal clear as possible for all of those good old boys who have a tough time hearing music lyrics. Mind you these two Tennessee tools wrote the song before it was proven that the Bush administration was, in fact, wrong about a lot of things. So I suppose you have to respect the risks they were taking - but I doubt that there was ever a doubt in their minds that Bush could ever be wrong. So it seems they're either just fools - or selling out for their fifteen minutes. But by the looks of a video on YouTube where they plead for fans to send in some video that will get them on a TRB music video that will "be watched by millions" - it seems that these guys are probably just thick headed douche bags.

There's a crisis on the planet
It's heated up almost a whole degree
It hasn't been this hot in a long time
Not since the 16th Century
When there were no evil SUVs

Stop Global Whining
It's up to you
The earth's been heating up and cooling back down
Since the day it started spinning 'round and 'round
Stop Global Whining
Get your head out of the clouds

What I really don't like about TRB is that they end up just as bad as the liberals they can't stand: extremists. That's hypocrisy - and there are few things that I dislike more than hypocrisy. Denial might be one of them, but being hypocritical when it comes to politics is very irritating to me. The extreme right, like the extreme left, will only travel in circles while the many in between will progress forward by making compromises.

We use it, we need it almost as much as air
Dependent on the Middle East and no one seems to care
That billions of barrels of oil are in the ground
And the “freakenvironmentalists” won’t let us get it out

So before you go and point your finger covered in gasoline
And whine about their record profits
Remember things aren’t what they seem
Try and educate yourself with the facts or just admit you’re spoiled
If you don’t like it don’t buy it
It’s not the fault of “Big Oil”

We want it, they sell it, what’s not to understand
It’s simple as the law of supply and demand
They’re making just pennies per gallon at the pump
While the government gets double and the roads still suck
