One of Missouri State Auditor Susan Montee‘s (D) potential republican challengers, Tom Schweich – rock star, put out a gawdawful music video. It’s so bad that it rises to great art – if you have a hankerin’ for kitsch.
Let’s see, Chinese communists, handouts, fights, God, something about conception, foreign kings’ rings, allusions to tentherism, elitists, and apparent outtakes from an exercise video. What’s not to love from a right wingnut perspective?
At 2:17 in the video there’s a music stand with the legend “Webster Univ Music Dept” Did they “borrow” it? (It’s actually considered an honored, but alas, illegal, tradition to steal music stands from music schools.)
This would have worked better as an arrangement for string quartet, without the juvenile teabagger lyrics and the lame garage band.
Years ago an acquaintance in the music business related a story about his first club audition. The manager told him after he played, “I can’t hire you to play here. If I did I’d be afraid they’d arrest you for loitering.” Bingo.
Excuse me while I go find an icepick to stab out my ear drums.
fell out of fashion in music videos sometime around… okay, they probably never did or will.
BUT, while I tried my best to concentrate on Tom’s anointed lyrics, I noticed too late in “the experience” that the video itself seemed to be an attempt at some sort of schlong-shot record; too late, that is, to start counting just how many times the Ambassador directed our gaze toward the General.
Someone else tally it up and let us know. I’m hitting the old treadmill.
but doesn’t this politician realize just how ridiculous and unattractive this lame-brained essay into right-wing “cool” makes him look?
