if anything it's the implied politics that are terrible. the music / performance isn't so bad imo

three chords and the big lie

agree, but the implied politics are bad enough, and that line about obese people and fudge rounds can go straight to hell.
the comments i saw were just awful. dozens of people saying, like, "finally someone speaking the truth" and a few homophobic Tyler Childers jokes. blech.

Right. The second verse as a whole is just abominable.

Between this and Try That In A Small Town and maybe the country version of Fast Car, something weird and bad is going on this summer.

what the fuck is a fudge round

possibly a homophobic dogwhistle

correct me if i'm wrong, but the "fast car" brouhaha seems like clickbait generated by busybodies? LC obviously reveres TC, and TC speaks positively about the situation, so what is the issue? TTIAST a different story, as with the piece of shit that alpine static shared, but the former at least is pretty boilerplate and not a new development

i saw someone on X dragging this terrible song, but the replies were immediately swarmed by paid blue check racists defending it for "saying what we all think", definitely finding an audience with terrible people.

i see no issue whatsoever w/ Luke Combs' "Fast Car" ... i quite enjoy it when it comes on the radio. that song is just about un-fuck-up-able, and budo's right, he seems to have done it for the right reasons, etc.

Agreed. The reaction to it seems to have been about appropriation from people who don't listen to country anyway, but this isn't like a fast-follow, white-friendly take. It came out 35 years ago! I for one think his rendition is nice and better than the vast majority of what I hear on country radio. Still quite common for major country acts to include covers on their albums, in keeping with a long tradition in country music.
Oliver Anthony otoh...saw Marjorie Taylor Green promoting this track and yeah, that's all you need to know

Haven't heard the Fast Car cover anyway, so sure, not worst.Anyway, can top yr MTG, have just seen Oliver Anthony being promoted by Baked Alaska.

My father wrote “Take This Job and Shove It,” you fucking moron. He doesn’t listen to Lucky Charms Mumford and Sons on a 4k GoPro parked 400 yards down a dirt road they drove an hour to get to. https://t.co/1xJqfwXaYJ— Tyler Mahan Coe (Top 0.01% Kylie Minogue Fan) (@TylerMahanCoe) August 14, 2023

his father is a famous racist of country music? i'm not sure i see the point he's trying to make.

Is Oranyan Coltrane the Chet Hanks of jazz music? This is from 2018 I guess, so not super current, but I just need to get a second opinion on this:

I just found out that Jimmy Fallon and Meghan Trainor have a Christmas song together, I’m not listening to it and I’m not linking to it either but it deserves to be in here for concept alone
