(46,416 posts)their singer went goofy. But this...it goes from cheese to complete camp, it's in a league of its own.

(100,079 posts)Part of me wants to think that these guys are a satire band - like this is every conservative stereotype of what we liberals think of them, but then again somehow I doubt it. Somewhere Bill Hicks is spinning in his grave.

(12,882 posts)Hey..... I could understand the lyrics all the way through, and that's something you DON'T get with most contemporary artists nowdays. The event organizers couldn't have been shooting for a grade school rendition when they hired this band and they got what they were looking for, I'd wager.

That was almost, but not quite, as nauseating as that Lee Greenwood 'Proud to be an American' tune.
Upon further thinking, this is probably the first and only time I've ever seen a hard rock singer croon.
