Toby Keith: War on Christmas
I have very mixed feelings about Country Music. Some is good, some is crap, which is true of most genres, but there's often a political and cultural slant which makes me uneasy. Toby Keith may be the best embodiment of this paradox. For ever boot metaphorically put into someone's ass, there's a threesome with Bobby Jo and Betty Lou. He'll feud with the Dixie Chicks in a way that makes him look like a moron and then turn out a CD full of music which I'm glad to have on my IPOD.
This video clip from Steven Colbert's Christmas special is just fantastic. Keith hams it up playing the part of the typical reactionary country western singer, with his tongue firmly in cheek the whole time. Or maybe he's faking that, and he really does believe that there is a War on Christmas. Who knows with this guy. Either way its a fun video.
