Larry Lee the Primitive Baptist Reviews: Justin Moore - If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away

Justin Moore - If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away

I was excited for a moment when I read the title of this new country music composition. It even started off nice enough too. But as you might expect, things went to the opposite of Heaven pretty quickly.

Mr. Moore ponders the things he might do if Heaven weren't beyond the reach of human hands. Well, Justin, if Heaven were as far as from here to Greenwood, MS, who would even care to go there once their earthly toil were finished? I don't even want to go to Greenwood, for that matter. It smells like rotten eggs and soybeans.

As spotless as my record has been (after that short stint with the pill-popping Gypsies in college), I might even turn to a life of worldliness if Heaven wasn't a perfect escape from this sinful plot of soil and strip malls.

In John, Jesus tells us that he has gone to prepare a place for us and will come and get us later on. He DOES NOT say to drop by when you're on furlough from the prison. Where's the specialness in that? If we could drop in and visit Aunt Martha any old time (not that I want to, I bet she still has that B.O. problem), there would be no sorrow in this world to teach us the benefit of withholding pleasure. People might be having unsanctioned intercourse in the streets with that little inherent limit on desire.

That's not even the worst thing about this song. Justin claims he'd visit his "ol' huntin' dog" if he could. Animals are not in Heaven. They do not have a soul, therefore, they just return to the rotting soil from hence they were produced. Sorry PETA.

He also says that Janis Joplin is in Heaven. Heaven forbid! If that skank has passed through the Pearly Gates with the Lord's permission… I'd rather stay down here with the dead puppies and kitties. That woman did more drugs every night than my son-in-law did at Ole Miss his entire 8 year college tenure.

In summary, this is a profane and irreligious song gussied up with spiritual subject matter to fool country radio listeners into reducing Heaven to a figurative and demeaned idyll. I wish no part of the knee-high to a stink bug Mr. Moore's debauched entertainment.

F!

ACMs Wrap-up

Just a few more observations from Trailer's La-z-boy about last night's ACM show. (in no particular order that they appeared on the show)

Ronnie Dunn seemed a little out of sorts and somber without his old partner in crime, Kix, who was seen working a coffee cart backstage.

Jason Aldean struck an even more outlaw pose than ever before.

Not one to be out-outlawed, Eric Church took it a step further. Many think he crossed a line.

We witnessed the triumphant return of the Taylor Face.

We also witnessed quite a dog and pony show of celebs with questionable country cred.

Donnie and Marie Osmond

Rihanna got into the spirit of things.

That famed country crooner Celine Dion made an appearance.

And yeah, this was just nasty...

ACMs Feedback

Read my Twitter posts from during the big show here, but my general reaction to the show is that you should just watch this.

Also, you should go read this!
