Posted at Toland's suggestion:
A guy here at work lent me a David Allan Coe compilation. The guy asked, "You're not easily offended, are you?"
Nope.
Or so I thought.
My gosh... it's... it's racist country. I mean, it's just full of songs with the word "nigger" in them, bashing them, bemoaning the fact that some woman in a song cheated with one, or comparing some bad person to one...
Wow. I couldn't finish it. I put it back on the guy's desk, and the less I have to talk about David Allan Coe the better.

(Admittedly, that's cleaned up from the email exchange Toland and I had. The Coe stuff is dyed-in-the-wool-Klan-robe hateful, and it's pornographic too. I expected the latter, but not the former.)
From Bruiser Boone:
ReplyDeleteI did a Google search for some of Coe's lyrics and was not amused by what I read. Maybe it's just me, but does his "Itty Bitty Titties" song (and I use that term very loosely) seems to border on pedophilia? As the father of two little girls, Mr.Coe better not stand too close to me while I'm pruning the garden...
