4/8/2013 6:31:30 PM

it should have been a Chappelle's Show sketch

I'm glad Rembert Browen wrote that it in his piece on this song

4/8/2013 6:38:29 PM

It's astonishing that this isn't a parody song and is actually sincere.

4/8/2013 7:54:39 PM

Eh, I get the sentiment he's trying to express, it does come off as awkward, though. I don't think it's nearly as awful as everyone in this thread makes it out to be...just strange.

4/8/2013 8:04:20 PM

confederate flag = racist

4/8/2013 8:06:54 PM

I honestly think brad paisley thinks he's doing HIS PART

4/8/2013 8:11:36 PM

^^^ His heart's in the right place.

His head isn't, the song sucks, and it's ham-handed as shit.

I don't think Brad Paisley is ever truly sincere

Pretty much agree. It's awkward and weird.

4/8/2013 9:18:19 PM

Idk. I think it's pretty bad.

4/8/2013 9:19:10 PM

I haven't felt that weird since I walked in on a guy standing up shitting in an airport bathroom.

4/8/2013 9:25:12 PM

"It really came to a boil last year with Lincoln and Django, and there’s just a lot of talk about it. It was really obvious to me that we still have issues as a nation with this. There are two little channels in each chorus that really steal the pie. One of them is, ‘We’re still picking up the pieces, walking on eggshells, fighting over yesterday,’ and the other is, ‘Paying for the mistakes that a lot of folks made long before we came.’ We’re all left holding the bag here, left with the burden of these generations. And I think the younger generations are really kind of looking for ways out of this. “I just think art has a responsibility to lead the way, and I don’t know the answers, but I feel like asking the question is the first step, and we’re asking the question in a big way. How do I show my Southern pride? What is offensive to you? And he kind of replies, and his summation is really that whole let’s bygones be bygones and ‘If you don’t judge my do rag, I won’t judge your red flag.’ We don’t solve anything, but it’s two guys that believe in who they are and where they’re from very honestly having a conversation and trying to reconcile. “I’m with my audience 100 percent in the Southern pride thing, in the same way that a Yankees fan is very proud of where he’s from — that’s LL. We’ve got pictures of him in a New York Yankees cap doing his vocal, which is so appropriate. “But, you know, it’s such a complicated issue — I’m reading up on it now, [since] I felt I needed to be well-armed for any discussion – and here he is in a Yankees cap, and you think to yourself, ‘Well here is the antithesis of what was the problem.’ But it’s not. New York City was all for slavery. They actually voted 60 percent against — or maybe 70 against — Abraham Lincoln because they didn’t like the idea of slavery going away because there goes cotton and there goes tobacco trade, you know what I mean? It’s very hypocritical to feel like it’s just the South’s fault. “But, at the same time, symbols mean things, and I know one thing: It just doesn’t do any good to blatantly do things and be like, ‘Just get over it.’ That’s not what we’re saying. This is a very sensitive subject, and we’re trying to have the discussion in a way that it can help"

hahahahaha

Where's the song at? Seems like it's getting pulled from everywhere I look...

4/9/2013 1:48:53 PM

The song is pretty cool

Youd think it would spark more productive discussion rather than all the bitching

I bet 90% of the negative responses are people who see the word "racist" in a country title and didn't even listen to both artists verses

If we stop judging do rags and gold chains then the whole slavery thing will be behind us.

Thank you, LL. When it comes to race relations, you truly are doing it and doing it and doing it great.

4/9/2013 3:06:34 PM

^^ wow, that's a really good article.

4/9/2013 3:09:56 PM

This is like 3 or 4 hits in a row where Brad Paisley talks about racism and how its bad but clarifying that he's not racist. We get it Brad you're not racist you had black friends in high school....
Congrats!
