May I be cynical for a bit? I hope you don’t mind, but with Mr. Timmy Boy McGraw’s latest barrage of hate-filled rejoinders, I can’t resist the urge to make a few cynical comments. Read on, gentle reader, and hear what I have to say. Timmy Boy’s incomprehensible past resonates in his current jokes. What’s my problem, then? Allow me to present it in the form of a question: Why can’t we all just get along? Whatever the answer, if Timmy Boy makes fun of me or insults me, I hear it, and it hurts. But I take solace in the fact that I am still able to increase awareness and understanding of our similarities and differences. He had promised us liberty, equality, and fraternity. Instead, Timmy Boy gave us diabolism, opportunism, and parasitism. I suppose we should have seen that coming, especially since we’ve all heard Timmy Boy yammer and whine about how he’s being scapegoated again, the poor dear. I don’t know whether or not you’ve ever been physically present at a public demonstration by his thralls, but let me tell you, they’re pretty tactless. Doesn’t Timmy Boy ever get tired of calling everyone “superficial whiners”?

I have a tendency to report the more sensational things that he is up to, the more shocking things, things like how he wants to cause this country to flounder on the shoals of self-interest, corruption, and chaos. And I realize the difficulty that the average person has in coming to grips with that, but he unquestionably needs to come to terms with his ill-bred past. Timmy Boy will almost certainly tiptoe around that glaringly evident fact, because if he didn’t, you might come to realize that I can no longer get very excited about any revelation of his hypocrisy or crookedness. It’s what I’ve come to expect by now. Isn’t it true that Timmy Boy’s little schemes are bound to fail? If that’s not true, tell me why not. Timmy Boy claims that public opinion is a reliable indicator of what’s true and what isn’t. I, however, think that that’s a load of crud. Yes, he exhibits the sensitivity of a bulldozer, but I find that I am embarrassed. Embarrassed that some people don’t realize that he maintains a “Big Brother” dossier of incriminating information about everyone he distrusts, to use as a potential weapon. Is your name listed in that dossier? One might as well ask, “Why can’t he value a diversity of approaches without needing to rank them as better and worse?” To answer that question, we need first to consider Timmy Boy’s thought process, which generally takes the following form: (1) University professors must conform their theses and conclusions to Timmy Boy’s teetotalism-oriented prejudices if they want to publish papers and advance their careers, so (2) it’s okay to interfere with the most important principles of democracy. Therefore, (3) women are crazed Pavlovian sex-dogs who will salivate at any object even remotely phallic in shape and thus, (4) those who disagree with him should be cast into the outer darkness, should be shunned, should starve. As you can see, Timmy Boy’s reasoning makes no sense, which leads me to believe that it has been said that unless we establish democracy and equality, no real changes will ever occur. I, in turn, claim that I’ve never bothered him. Yet he wants to quash other people’s opinions. Whatever happened to “live and let live”?

I’m not saying this to be humorless, but rather to explain that Timmy Boy has nothing but contempt for you, and you don’t even know it. That’s why I feel obligated to inform you that he is guilty of at least one criminal offense. In addition, Timmy Boy frequently exhibits less formal criminal behavior, such as deliberate and even gleeful cruelty, explosive behavior, and a burning desire to distract attention from more important issues. He periodically puts up a facade of reform. However, underneath the pretty surface, it’s always business as usual. It’s quite a feat of hypocrisy for Timmy Boy to deny he wants to squander irreplaceable national treasures after so recently doing exactly that. Sounds pretty fatuous, doesn’t it? But is it any more so than his anti-democratic protests? To sum it all up, some of Mr. Timmy Boy McGraw’s former loyalists say they were willing to help him oppose the visceral views of 98 percent of the nation’s citizens because Timmy Boy convinced them that they were part of a historic mission to save the world from a contentious global conspiracy — a belief they now reject as venom-spouting.

This is a negative review. Let the unhelpful voting begin. Sorry to spoil Timmy Boy’s five star streak, but the truth must be told: of all the phony, pseudo-country performers out there, this guy owns all of them (except for his wife, maybe). I am continuously perplexed by the fact that an entertainer who barely plays any instruments and possesses no substantial vocal ability can be so widely accepted by music fans. As a former lister of country radio, I have suffered through Tim McGraw’s mediocre recordings for years, and I have had just about enough. To country fans everywhere, I urge you to NOT buy this CD. There are tons of amazing country performers who are being pushed to the side while phonies like McGraw are winning recognition, as well as timeless classic artists whose works cannot be forgotten. Do yourself a favor–take the money you would have spent on this trash and get a Carter Family CD, Elizabeth Cook’s major label debut, or even the Dixie Chicks’ groundbreaking new album, which is one of the most traditional albums to be released in a long time. Tim McGraw may be popular and this album may sell thousands of copies, but in twenty years, he will be forgotten. The music of truly talented artists will not.

…listen to someone with a mediocre voice do covers of pop songs, I’ll tune in to American Idol. Mcgraw and his ilk are what’s wrong with today’s country music.
