Political Rock

This "Kosovo" Beach Boys parody is making the rounds. Hilarious or offensive?

If that's not your thing, check out this Iraqi Soldier's patriotic anthem currently in heavy rotation on country radio. (He played in on The Today Show yesterday.)

Luke Stricklin - "American By God's Amazing Grace" (MP3 Sample)

Politics aside, Luke's lyrical skills are bullshit.

Previosly: "Kokomo" gets some Stereobuzz.

How about hilariously offensive? Works for me.

Pretty funny, but I'm honestly getting tired of all of it. The military always seems to be in a Damned If You Do/Don't sort of light. If it's one place they didn't go, it's the place they did. I just don't like a view that takes free speech as an excuse to never shut up.

Because I get ulcers on a daily basis over the bullshit of the Iraq war, this track doesn't have enough camp value for me right now. I'll listen to it again in 20 years and get back to you.
