Larry Lee the Primitive Baptist Reviews: Alan Jackson - Long Way to Go









I was excited to see that Alan Jackson, the singer of the wonderful gospel album Precious Memories, had a new song out. Then I listened to "Long Way to Go."

A few words come to mind as this wretched song plays: hypocrite, backslider, Pharisee, lip server. Apparently this great gospel music singer also has a side-career as a forsaken secular country singer.

I had hoped in my heart of hearts that the "long way to go" was the narrow path through this sinful world, but my hopes were dashed on the salty rim of a bug-ridden margarita glass. This song is about drinking alcoholic beverages to rid the mind and heart of "women that had done us wrong."

Lord, what are we to do when even the supposed "good" people of the entertainment world also dabble in the humanistic pursuits of this mortal coil? Who are we to look to? I fear for a world where young mop-haired girl singing about "baby baby baby" is held up as a paragon of virtue. Et tu Alan Jackson?

Alcohol has no good use other than cleansing barbed wire fence wounds. Let's take a look at some notable Biblical examples of the evils of His Satanic Majesty's beverage of choice.

"Noah became drunk; the result was immorality and family trouble" Genesis 9:20-26

"Nabal died after a drunken spree" 2 Samuel 13:28-29

And the most important verse in the entire Bible:
"If a Christian brother is a drinker, do not associate with him." 1 Corinthians 5:11

Mr. Jackson, I de-associate myself with you, brother. Alcohol is not a solution, it is the problem. It leads to stronger drugs. It makes people enjoy Jason Aldean music. It causes accidents forewarned by "Hey y'all watch this." It led to my daughter's shotgun marriage due to her impregnation.

Damn you evil spirits. And I pray for you, Alan.

Satirical Lyrical: A Realistic Summer Song

Here's a more realistic take on all the "got my girl and the weekend and my truck and we're going to the cabin and life is good" songs that come out about this time of year, just in time for summer country radio.

Here We Go
©2011 FTM Satire

I already paid the cabin rent
So we'll have fun, or you can go get bent
You're mad that your poodle couldn't come
But her yappin' makes it hard to get me some
Get your dirty feet off my dash
And gas is high, you best pitch in some cash
Beer is cold, but it's only Natty Light
The music's loud cause we just had a fight

But here we go
Down this old dirt road
Skies are blue, the sun's aglow
We got fish to catch and boats to row
Stop calling me a so and so
Oh no, here we go

Good thing you look good as you look
Cause you won't touch a fish or bait your hook
Girl I thought you quit those cigarettes
You said you've got bad habits you ain't quit yet
Water's fine but I don't like your drift
And I think that bikini top is last year's fit
Now you say you need to take a leak
But I think we're paddling up shit creek

Oh here we go
Sun is hangin' low
Boat's takin' on water slow
Dragonflies dipping to and fro
Try to kiss you but you say no
Oh no, here we go

Bridge
Now the rain is falling on this old tin roof
Your nightshirt's got me in the mood
But we ain't said a single word
And you're over there playin' Angry Birds

Oh here we go
The end is coming close
Rain comin' down like our hopes
No romance in the candle glow
Guess I'll watch the Kimmel show
Oh no, here we go
