I judged this guy because of what my media bubble said about four lines in his song.

Outside of those four lines, i really liked the message of the song, but because i was told that he was blaming poor people or even that he was being racist, i was predisposed to assume things about him.

It has really made me realize that I wasn't the independent thinker i thought I was.

It's a shame it took him shirtting on Republicans to make me bother finding out more about him.





After i looked into him, he's not who I was led to believe he was.


We should all be able to get behind the message of that song, if you have to ignore those 4 lines because you have been conditioned to have a pavlovian response to them, please do.

Try it again now.

I finally took the time to listen to it.

It's fine. He has a nice voice. The part about welfare and fat shaming just cheapens the rest of it to me. It just felt forced in for some unknown reason.

But he can't be surprised they missed the forest from the trees. I mean, he was expecting the mouth breathers to understand nuance?

They think Born in the USA is an anthem for jeebus sakes.

Fat, drunk and stupid IS no way to go through life. Dean Wormer was right about that.

yea, it cracks me up when i hear people talk about Born In The USA as a patriotic song.

Beau is (or was) an anarchist. I know we have a thread about anarchy. I usually enjoy listening to Beau’s take on politics, he’s a good guy.

Looks like he did Rogan today.

I haven't seen any of it, but i'm sure we all hate him again.
