Country Singer Rebukes Liberal Actors in 'Hey Hollywood'

SPARTANBURG, SC (Talon News) -- A member of the conservative group RightMarch.com has recorded a new country song responding to the leftist attacks against President George W. Bush and America coming from country music artists such as the Dixie Chicks and Willie Nelson as well as liberal Hollywood actors.

"Country music fans -- like so many of us -- are proud Americans, and don't take kindly to people taking unfair potshots at our Commander-In-Chief when our country is at war," RightMarch.com said in an e-mail to supporters on Monday. "That goes for anyone, from country 'stars' to Hollywood 'stars' -- it's a free country, and you're free to speak your mind, but that doesn't mean Americans have to listen to that drivel."

The group points to country music legend Willie Nelson's latest "protest song" against Operation Iraqi Freedom and Bush as an example of the ongoing attacks from the left.

Talon News previously reported that Nelson is supporting radical leftist candidate Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) in his bid for the Democrat presidential nomination.

The lyrics to Nelson's song entitled "What Ever Happened to Peace on Earth?" ask "how much oil is one human life worth?" and "how much is a liar's word worth?"

"Enough is enough," RightMarch.com proclaims in the e-mail. "Willie's obviously been hangin' around with his Hollywood crowd too much lately -- but we've got a way to help bring back the TRUTH, and we're gonna use country music to do it, y'all."

RightMarch.com revealed in the e-mail that one of its members named Aaron Sain has a band named The Right Brothers and has written and recorded a song rebuking liberal actors called "Hey Hollywood."

This single is not available in stores, but can be downloaded for free in various formats.

"This is a fun way to fight back against the lies of the radical left, while also arming ourselves with the truth," RightMarch.com contends in the e-mail.

RightMarch.com says they hope to "fight back against the lies of the loony left coming from Hollywood, the liberal media and groups like MoveOn.org."

The lyrics to "Hey Hollywood" are as follows:

"Hey Hollywood" by The Right Brothers

Well I heard some movie stars talking on TV
Said they were being a voice for you and me
Saying things like "no blood for oil" and "not in our name"
And just like the roar of an F-16, I heard this country say

Hey Hollywood, we hear your message and it don't sound good
Your just running this country down with our troops overseas
Hey Hollywood, take a look around if you would
And if you don't love this land you're free to leave.

Now don't get me wrong I know you got a right
To say what you want and never apologize
You can protest all day and shout what you believe
But the rest of America has the right to kindly disagree

Hey Hollywood, we hear your message and it don't sound good
Your just running this country down with our troops overseas
Hey Hollywood, take a look around if you would
And if you don't love this land you're free to leave.

I'll even help you pack your bags if you want, if you wanna leave.
Hey Hollywood, stop running this country down.
Hey Hollywood.

Talon News reported last summer on Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines telling a London concert audience, "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas."

Say thanks to your pals.

Now, would someone please throw paint on that damned Chicks billboard on Division st?

I am shocked it's lasted this long unscathed.

Pathetic isn't? how CMT and Viacom-CBS are killing themsleves to prop up the faltering Chicks and their oversized pieholes.

Outside of their sales they have not made many friends over the years. Then the whole we're leaving country music thing. I'm really interested to see where it all ends up.

As far as the billboard. I was thinking I might need a little target practice with my paintball gun. Hmmm.... ;-)

[wardaddy]

My wife and I actually cased the joint when we went to South Street for oysters last week..lol

If there is a way to get on top of the parking garage with some cans of paint....hmmm

Where are some young right wing vandals when you need em..lol?

Good to see you around LH!

Your just running this country down with our troops overseas

Aside from the grammatical incorrectness, this would seem to suggest that the mere presence of troops overseas should shield the president from criticism--in other words, that he would have an incentive to send troops off. That doesn't seem right to me.

It's great! Thanks.

[quietolong]

great song!

Hmm... No blood for oil.
I’ll bet that many of the PETA crowd are saying that too.
But they also promote the wearing of “ fake fur “ you know the kind that takes all kind of oil to make.

[vikingchick]

Good song!

The guy that runs www.rightmarch.org, William Green, was on "Fresh Air" (the npr show). He talked about the "Hey Hollywood" song.

Latest word is that there is a new country artist that may release the song as a single in a couple of months.
