Chely Wright - "Bumper Of My SUV"

I understand Chuck's point, but I don't think that video was directed by Leni Riefenstahl. I guess the misunderstanding comes from placing it under the "best" category, as opposed to "most fascinating".

Also, the "hate" in my last post is of course directed at Gentry (and not Chuck, obviously).

"I guess the misunderstanding comes from placing it under the "best" category, as opposed to "most fascinating"."

Yeah, precisely. I would equate "best" with something I actually enjoy hearing/watching (which, by definition, I would also find fascinating, powerful, etc.)

Can we also talk about the spelling of Chely Wright's name? WTF?!

must be short for something.

Cheloise, perhaps.

Actually, bizarrely (or maybe not) (I know I said I was gonna go; I will, I'm almost done packing my stuff up), the video that "You Do Your Thing" most brings to mine for me is Laibach's great quasi-fascist (though allegedly anti-fascist) "Life is Life" -- especially when Montgomery is standing there singing, with the stars and stripes and Constitution and purple mountain's majesty behind him, just like the alps and elks behind Laibach's brown shirts in their video. The thing gives me chills, and if any music will remind me 20 years from now how fucked up life got in 2004, seeing the MG video will. It totally gets this sickness dead on, from the horseshit about liberal elitist hypocrites eating their meat in those fancy restaurants while they look askance down their snobby urban noses at M and G and their kids returning from the hunting trip on down. And no, "best video" does not mean "most morally upstanding"; I'm not very good at judging music that way. But I have to admit that do get off on the video, somehow. There is something about its power, and the music's physical power, that I find hard to resist, and that makes the thing seem more dangerous, which makes it better. Maybe that makes me a masochist, who knows. But then again, it's hardly the first time that awesomely hard-rocking music has flirted with evil, and it won't be the last.

Dang. Now that's a paragraph I wish I could have written.

Even with all the criticisms, I can't hate on it. Made me think a lot about how often I've looked down on cars and houses with American flags on them.

you're right, i think she should stop writing songs and just enlist.

My friends made a response song titled

"Ive got the sticker of the SS Troopers on the bumper of my Mini Cooper"
