Christopher BuckleyAuthor Christopher Buckley, son of William F. Buckley, says he’s going to vote for Obama this year. The first time ever for a Democrat: Let me be the latest conservative/libertarian/whatever to leap onto the Barack Obama bandwagon. It’s a good thing my dear old mum and pup are no longer alive. They’d cut off my allowance. [ Sorry, Dad, I'm Voting for Obama ] He writes this not in his usual magazine, the National Review, because of an experience a conservative colleague of
For years, many of us at MTV News headquarters have been lamenting (OK, complaining ad nauseam) that the music community has been way too tame in protesting the sorry state of our world. Sure, acts like Neil Young, John Mellencamp, Green Day, the Dixie Chicks, Nas and Pearl Jam have released protest songs and said things from the stage that have either gotten them censored (Pearl Jam at the 2007 Lollapalooza), or, in the Chicks’ case, hounded by their own fans. But sometimes we wish we’d never

There was plenty of crowd winning country music too and Keith served it up well done with a slick band, his own husky smooth pipes and a whole lotta. Ford Trucks are vanessa Toby Keith. Cole Porter and Gershwin songs can be taken out of context but these songs are integrated into the plot. Toby Keith remained third with She Never Cried in Front of Me Carrie Underwood moved up two to fourth with Just a Dream. Michael Lington Turns up the Heat with Keith Olsen Fleetwood Mac. The project is the
Mainstream Rock: The Rolling Stones, “Mixed Emotions” (1989) Scott Malchus: This was the album when Keith and Mick supposedly started liking each other again. In truth, I think Mick suddenly realized the money-making potential of a group of ’60s and ’70s icons touring endlessly. “Mixed Emotions” began the endless cycle of soulless Stones albums put out for the sole purpose of trying to make them seem relevant. I have never found much of the current music remotely interesting. However, sin
So when Chris gave the Dixie Chicks documentary a glowing review, I put it at the top of my list. "Shut Up and Sing" is an account of the controversy from The Comment, and the ordeal the trio went through on their journey back to the top of the charts. While playing a show in London during the run-up to the Iraq War, Maines mentioned to the crowd that she was "ashamed that President Bush is from Texas," the home state of all three Dixie Chicks. The crowd cheered, but as soon as The Comment
With the images of the red, white, and blue, Sean Hannity’s show begins with a stirring anthem of patriotic freedom sure to stir the hearts of those “great American” patriots who live in the ghetto known as Hannity’s America. Martina McBride’s strong voice soars with words that seem to put fear the fear of God into those who would dare to challenge the pure vision of America according to the gospel of Sean Hannity: “let freedom ring, let the white dove sing, let the whole world know that today
I went to do laundry down the street from me last night, not because it’s something I find exciting, unless there’s some hot girl there who’s panties I can steal, as I like to do, but because smelling my own three week old asshole as I sit, is something that gets a little nauseating after awhile. So I throw my shit in the machine and step outside to find something to entertain me for half an hour, when I get back, all my wet clothes were taken out of the machine and folded nicely, as if they
Photo via Facebook"There's a new album from The New Year" is all the review that longtime fans need. Those less familiar with the works of the brothers Kadane may need a little more to go on. They began as Bedhead, a mid-90s Texan band known for their slow, languid songs built on a nest of intricately intertwined and unfailingly melodic guitar lines, and when that outfit dissolved in 1999 the principals went on to start a new band - The New Year - who quickly became known for their slow, langu
Singstar Pop Vol. 2 Genre: Singing/Rhythm game Developer: SCEE London Publisher: SCEA Release Date: 09/23/08 So, about four months ago, I reviewed the PS3 version of Singstar, and the end result was that I found it to be a fun, enjoyable experience, mostly because of the ability to download new songs and watch/make videos of ridiculous behavior while playing the game. The PS2 games, lacking either of those features, generally get by because of their price point: you can, in most respects
Buddy Miller: With God on Our Side [purchase] I will never forget the first time I heard this song. It was one of the most moving musical experiences of my life. In 2004, I was attending the American Music Conference in Nashville, TN. It was my first time at the conference, and there were many "Wow!" moments that took place that week. I met Steve Earle at the bar at The Mercy Lounge, discussed politics and The Dixie Chicks with Chuck Meade from BR549, and watched in awe as Michelle Shocked a
October 8, 2008 Discussion After previously honoring Reba McEntire and Hank Williams Jr., CMT is staging its third tribute concert in honor of Alan Jackson: Alan Jackson will be honored in the third installment of CMT Giants airing Dec. 6 on CMT. The 90-minute special will be taped at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on Oct. 30. Tickets go on sale on Saturday (Oct. 11) via Ticketmaster.

Recommended by a Canadian!"As a pro-America conservative Canadian, I enjoyed this book so much. Lots of answers to some very confusing questions like Public Health Care, Defense and Foreign Policies, role of the US in the world and many more. If you're a liberal, you should read this to understand more about our point of views. If you're a right winger, you still need this great handbook to
This morning I received a note from the Alliance for Climate Protection’s “we can solve it” climate crisis campaign with a chilling opener: “Did you notice the ads after last night’s presidential debate? ABC had Chevron. CBS had Exxon. CNN had the coal lobby. But you know what happened last week? ABC refused to run our Repower America ad — the ad that takes on this same oil and coal lobby.” Seriously? Has big media gotten THAT big? I immediately went to the ACP ‘We can solve it’ site to see
The funny thing about “Religulous” and “An American Carol,” aside from neither comedy being funny enough, is their mutual reliance on the bludgeon—the one-note unvarying attack. Bill Maher doesn’t believe in religion, so he and director Larry Charles made a movie explaining why organized religion is going to destroy the world. David Zucker, whose early, funny pictures include “Airplane!” and the “Naked Gun” films (and the even funnier “Naked Gun” TV precursor, “Police Squad!”), was good and si
Two commercials I love: cheer-leading and light-sabering. - - - - I have Red Sox over the Rays. Dodgers over the Phillies. Red Sox win the pennant. (In these perilous economic times . . . and remembering my track record of predictions in years past . . . please don’t take these predictions to Vegas.) - - - - The musings of a young minister with too much time on his hands. Ha! - - - - The saga of conservative columnist Kathleen Parker continues. She endorsed Gov. Palin. Then asked her to s
October 7, 2008 Discussion, Miscellaneous Musings Relationships are tricky business. I’ve got to think country music knows that better than any other art form. Here in the real world, we tend to talk about our relationships with others in simple terms: friendly, intimate, casual, committed, short-term, long-term, stable, messy. Boring. Fun. Weird. Like each one can be reduced to a basic theme. A bite-sized blurb for your next cocktail party conversation. But no relationship ever really has j
Howard Stern, the self-proclaimed King of All Media, has been married once before, but is Beth Ostrosky the Queen who will help him find his Happily Ever After? That's to be written, but the 54-year-old deejay and the 36-year-old model took the biggest step toward that goal with their wedding at Manhattan's Le Cirque restaurant on Friday night. Stern proposed to Ostrosky on Valentine's Day in 2007. It's his second marriage, her first. Officiating the ceremony was actor Mark Consuelos, the hu
Hey, maybe this will lite a fire under their ass and get those girls working on some new material. The National Nine News from Australia is reporting that the Chicks re-released their 2006 album, Taking The Long Way, in Oz and it now sits at #7 on the country album charts. Good for you girls, now get to work on some new stuff!
