CMA's Not Quite As Bad As Mitch Berg And Ed Morrisey's Singing

by Gerald Snotley, music critic.

The Country Music Awards wasn't as bad as listening to Mitch Berg and Ed Morrisey's singing on The NARN (Northern Alliance Radio Network, 1280 am The Patriot), but the intellectual weightlessness was on display for all to see from the outset.

Co-hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood summoned the ghastly Hank Williams Jr., making light of his recent outburst on Fox And Friends, where he compared President Obama with Adolf Hitler.

Hunky newcomer Luke Bryan performed the downright sexist "Country Girl (Shake It For Me)". I can see everyone down at the 'I Love This Bar And Grill' having fun with this, but for leftist arthouse snobs like myself, who hasn't written a positive review since the wonderful  'My Aim Is True' by Elvis Costello, this was simply offensive. 

As for the winners, it ranged from the tarty redneck Miranda Lambert, who won the award for 'Best Female Vocalist', to the over-hyped, singing fetus, Taylor Swift, who snatched the 'Entertainer Of The Year Award'.

The Band Perry, a trio who resemble inbred bitter clingers from the backwoods, snagged several awards, including  'Song Of The Year' for 'If I Die Young'.

The CMA's weren't as horrific as that godawful duo of Berg and Morrissey, who traumatized us all with their remake of Warren Zevon's, 'Lawyers, Guns and Money'. It took four months for my eyebrows to grow back after that music fiasco.
