Video: the anti-gay performance that earned Matt 'Hillbilly' Boswell the Reidsville, NC boot

Here it is, Matt Boswell and the Hillbilly Blues Band in all its glory...to an audience of well, tens (if that, see the photo), who seem to be preoccupied with other things. I only see one woman in overalls clap at the homophobic line added to the Merle Haggard song, Merle Haggard's "Are the Good Times Really Over for Good?": 'And you can't get married, you stupid gays and queers, so why don't you go somewhere else?'

Thanks to gaydudenc for loading this one up. His accompanying description:

Yee-haw, Maw! Pass me a big ol' chaw!

C'mon in buckaroos and buckarettes! Hitch up your horsie for some down home entertainment...country style!

Look ya'll, this twangy little ditty is the anti-gay song that got country music singer wanna-be, Matt Boswell, 'booted' to the curb by city officials in Reidsville, North Carolina for good. Boswell was performing at the 2009 Downtown Reidsville Fall Festival, and he made up his own lyrics to a famous Merle Haggard song. Boswell decided to spice it up with some of his homegrown, corn-pone lyrics...including, 'And you can't get married, you stupid gays and queers, so why don't you go somewhere else?'

After Reidsville city officials found out about the use of the inflammatory hillbilly lyrics (a viewer complaint was filed with local TV station WGSR 47 in Reidsville which got the 8-ball rolling) - guitar plunking Matt Boswell was permanenty banned from ever performing at city sponsored events. The city manager, Kelly Almond, called Boswell's performance "tasteless" and he would never be booked again at a city sponsored, tax-paid family events.

Shoo-wee, Pappy! Break out your overalls, cowboy hats, Skoal, Tony Lama boots..and sit a spell! Take a load off while you cry in your beer. And stop kicking that coon-dog!

By the way, my little corn fritters, the offensive lyrics begin at around the 3:12 mark...if you can take it that long. Lots of alcohol would help. Oh, and watch the faces of the crowd as they're riveted to Boswell's performance. Okay, maybe not riveted. They were probably thinking that lots and lots of alcohol would be good right about then.

And notice he changed "Nixon" to "Clinton," the fucker.

1. There are a lot of obese people in that crowd nt

[sui generis]

5. it wasn't the crowd that was singing.

The town, made up of those people, banned this guy from singing there ever again.

[spiritual_gunfighter]

8. Obese people can be tolerant

You must have some sort of prejudice against overweight people if you think my observation was a slight against them.

[Yes We Did]

14. Point?

Got one?

[anachro1]

2. Why should the

helplessly stupid like these folks even have ANY rights? People like this make abortion a necessity.

[spiritual_gunfighter]

3. That comment is tasteless isnt it? nt

[sui generis]

4. don't fuck with the gay mafia

we will bounce you.

Fortunately this one self-destructed before we could get to him. Shooooo-oo-oo-weeee.

[tomm2thumbs]

6. purposely trying to get some national attention - call it a success

Well isn't he six beers away from silk sheets and a man-on-man fling? - 2 beers if you speak really nice-like and have a barn?

[Capt. America]

7. I'm surprised he didn't bring up the "good old days" of separate water fountains and "teaching" your...

wife to behave.

[guitar man]

9. Hell

I would have tossed him for his "singing" alone, he sucks out loud x(

[sasquuatch55]

10. Makes me wanna cry in my beer, and vomit on the bar.

11. bag o douche

hahahah i thought it was hilarious. what a bag oh douche this one is. you could tell in his own little verse he was getting ramped up for something outrageous and he didn't disappoint.

12. The teabaggers don't look as proud of their homophobia as they use to be.

Their not hooting and hollering like they use to. LOL

[hmorehead]

13. It is hate speech confused with free speech. And so where those cracks at obese folks.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

15. Right wing protest songs really do lack a certain subtlety, don't they?

I guess it's because their audience is all retards.

[TlalocW]

16. He did change Nixon to Clinton

But earlier on, he changed Elvis to Nixon in the second line. So I guess Merle didn't care for Elvis (or the Beatles), but Jimmy Bob John Slim Boy Clyde here has his own enemies list as evidenced by his extra line.
