Congressman Who Thought Guam Could Tip Over Massacres Classic Jimi Hendrix Song

The Democrats are having a hard time connecting with normal people, and one congressman decided that the best thing to do would be to grab a guitar and throw down an anti-Trump version of the Jimi Hendrix classic "Hey Joe."

The only problem is that he doesn't know how to play guitar. Like, at all.

**SNIP**

The unbuttoned shirt, for instance, was 1,000 percent a decision made moments before his intern hit record. This may have even been take two after he stopped in the middle of tie-on take one.

"Wait; hang on… (*Unbutons shirt*) …Now we're ready."

But let's give Hank a chance. As he explained in the ramp-up to his axe-slinging — which is almost better than the guitar playing — he has his new Fender Stratocaster on him. And that's not just any Strat, by the way. That appears to my eye to be a Stevie Ray Vaughan signature model (the "SRV" on the pickguard is a bit of a giveaway), which is currently listed on the Fender website for $2,299.99.

Which, as you're about to see, is about $2,000-worth of guitar more than someone with Johnson's playing ability needs.

**SNIP**

Then came the lyrics and… oof.

"Hey, Trump; where you goin’ with that gun in your hand?" Johnson sang. "I’m goin’ down the street to shoot democracy/You know I want to be a king someday."

Oh boy. So, he sucks at playing guitar and thought he was a lyrical genius for cramming the same tired left-wing platitudes about democracy being in peril, even though Trump was elected by the people, while the Democrats nominated someone who had never received a primary vote in her life.

Move over Rover and let Jimmi tip over.

Is this the same Congressman who named his daughter Wagyu or Porterhouse or something like that or am I thinking of someone else?🤔

[FoxInSocks]

The Guitar Center guy could have at least tuned the guitar for him before he left the store. I couldn’t even make it to the vocal part.

Friggan snake skank.

Every once in a while I show freinds the clip of that freak screeching when Chuck Berry and John are singing Johnny Be Good.

Isn’ this joker one of the original congressional “Milk Duds”?
They were almost identical twins in every way, but I think one of em finally died.
Both the vile offspring of the sacred RAT Ghettopotomai.

Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were Hank Johnson. But I repeat myself.

April 30 - Democrat’s ‘grotesque’ blanket statement about Latinos sends internet ablaze

A Democratic congressman from the South is in hot water after claiming he did not defend migrants getting deported, ‘because I’m not a Latino at the Home Depot.’

Hank Johnson looks so skinny and feeble he’d better be careful. The weight of that Fender Stratocaster might make him Tip Over !

All the demonrats care about is their own pompous backsides.

[AnAmericanMother]

Dang - not only is the guitar way out of tune, the strings are so slack that a couple are *flapping*.

He should be mortified . . . but he is so sublimely unconscious of how incompetent he is, he's not even mildly embarrassed.

No she didn’t unless she was alive in the 1800s.

Love you anyway.

Or the 1600s.

History has long forgotten a song that’s been around long before she showed up.

You haven’t lived until you hear an Appalachian hillbilly bluegrass version sitting a field with a full moon rising over the mountains.

Sublime.

Thanks.

A comfort to me in my old age.

As a lifelong guitarist, I can state that this guy cannot play guitar and shouldn’t.

[Allegra]

Heh! A whole thread on that err..masterpiece. 😁

[Songcraft]

Thanks for the ping.   It looks like the congressman is starting to get a following there.      🙂

Listen to the stinky beginning of this song video (below).   It almost sounds at the beginning there like the congressman, but if you wait a minute or two, the song does eventually get better on this video, so, maybe with hard work, practice, and perseverance, Hank could also produce some better stuff like these guys eventually did.

(Gotta say goodnight now.   Take care.)

His fingering isn’t bad for a newby; he’s out of tune. And of course, the lyrics are astonishingly stupid.
