Country music: lying, cheating, and drinking…wine?
I can’t say that my iPod is exactly loaded with country music tracks. So it’s no surprise that I’d never heard of Brad Paisley until last week, despite the fact that his last album sold over two million copies.
In the funny song “Online” on his new album, 5th Gear, the schlumpy lead character has an alter ego on MySpace (Yes! A country song writes about the internet! And wine!). Roll some of the lyrics:
‘Cause online I’m out in Hollywood
I’m 6 foot 5 and I look damn good
I drive a Maserati
I’m a black-belt in karate
And I love a good glass of wine
Maybe in the next album, the main character will drink wine instead of the aspirational alter ego (Brad Paisley himself?).
