THE DUMBEST IDEA ANYBODY (GOP-E) EVER HAD WAS TAPPING MITT ROMNEY AS THE NOMINEE.
THE DUMBEST IDEA ANYBODY (GOP-E) EVER HAD WAS TAPPING MITT ROMNEY AS THE NOMINEE.
I like those tunes and would put them up against Obama’s any day. This is a non-story. I’m against Romney’s candidacy but this stuff is rediculous.
Ol’ Mitt, why he’s just a good old boy, y’all look at them songs. /s
Trying to read anything other than a calculated attempt to appeal to those who actually do like those songs is an exercise in futility.
I can not agree with Romney’s politics, but I do like his choice of music artists.
You know he looks in the mirror each morning and thinks he’s George clooney.
Remember, newt’s playlist is all Abba stuff.
No, that was June Carter's rumination on her instant and overwhelming sexual attraction to Johnny Cash, which began when they were each married to someone else.
What a foolish, as well as ignorant, article. I'm no fan of Romney, but this silly screed just proves that our economy is still employing too many "journalists."
For angst, try this. Paul Newman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG9tuuznL1Y&feature=related
For a reminder of people screaming out to Christ, of broken people, of Johnny Cash, try this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KqM0xZQVpE
1st, the Soggy Bottom Boys are not a real band. It was recorded by the Union Station.
2nd, most music is about longing, questions, and bad relationships. I dont see how that has anything to do with being President. I remember the big fuss over Bush having Fortunate Son in his playlist, and the reporters questioned how he could like an anti-war song. This is a pretty silly article.
Jim Farber:Hey Jim what's yer problem bub? FYI "Crying' was picked by the uber left Rolling Stone(r) Mag as #69 of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time."
A man of constant sorrow who roams this world alone, doomed to realize his greatest loves only in dreams. .. Believe it or not, that’s the inner life suggested by the songs Mitt Romney cherished enough to put on his Spotify playlist.
- "Roy Orbison’s uber-mopey “Crying”
- "...the Eagles’ ode to a shut-down loner “Desperado”."
- "The Soggy Bottom Boys’ version of that classic song of suffering “I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow.” "
And the Eagles “Desperado” isn't about any 'shut-down loner'. Per Song Facts Don Henley said, "When I play it and sing it, I think of Ray Charles - Ray Charles and Stephen Foster. It's really a Southern gothic thing." [The album had an Old West theme. It was inspired by The Dalton Gang, a notorious group of outlaws.]
As to 'The Soggy Bottom Boys' and “I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow.”, first off I can't STAND George Clooney and thought that movie was INSIPID (it's supposedly a modern take on Homer's Odyssey', riiiight). BUT!.. Jerkweed that song is just a catchy Bluegrass tune.
Every song one likes doesn't mean it has some deep inner meaning to it -- You Just Like It and that's all. Trying figuring out the meaning of 'I Am The Walrus' by the Beatles ya moron. In any case whatever Mittens likes on Spotify is irrelevant as any song any GOP Candidate likes is 10002 times BETTER than Obama's favorite song -- the Commie 'marching song' -- 'The Internationale'!!
Btw 'mr' Farber what are YOUR favorite songs? Bet it's stuff like; Bette Midler's Greatest Hits, anything by KD Lang, and old MGM Musicals by Busby Berkeley. Right Jim?
One last thing Jimbo, as to Spotify -- IMO they have a crappy selection of songs. I can't find any of my real favorites. So I'm stuck with picking the Artists only, like Buddy Guy and BB King.
No Mormon Tabernacle Choir?
..........AND NOW BARRACK HUSSIEN OBAMA’S FAVORITE SONGS ARE....................... huh?.......... I can’t hear you........ speak up ......... crickets
This is SUCH an important question NOT! My 25 top favorite songs would all be by Willie Nelson with “On the Road Again” at #1!
