I was wondering what Simon would ‘feel’ about that song -—
Lee Greenwood: Brilliant songwriter
Brilliant song!
Simon must be a closet patriot!
I think Simon would be a Republican.
Kind of surprising. Kind of nice to know.
Either that or he realizes he can't criticize the song without sounding anti-American. Might be what he meant by "clever song choice". He's demonstrated a consistent distaste/confusion over Americana-flavored performances.
Check this one out. It will bring tears to your eyes:
