COUNTRY PLAYLIST: irish whiskey jigs!

alright, i fibbed a little, but it was in the name of st. patrick's day. these songs aren't really irish jigs, but they're all about whiskey and they're all by white people, so that counts, right? okay, i lied again. darius rucker's in there too. BUT the garth brooks video is from a concert in ireland. so we're good? any hoot, with no further delay, your whiskey swiggin' (and designated driver findin'!) st. patrick's day weekend soundtrack!

*note: this wasn't an easy task. there are so many hauntingly gorgeous yet depressing as all hell songs about whiskey (whiskey lullaby by brad paisley and alison krauss and cheap whiskey by patty loveless to name a couple). leave it to country!

toby keith is known for his crazy music videos, and i think this one is by far my favorite. and by favorite, i mean i still can't decide if i just can't believe it, or if i genuinely appreciate toby's chutzpa, if you will. there's a word you thought you'd never read on a country music blog!

so many precious red-state-pandering moments to choose from! let's see. there's obama as the wall street hero. the mcdonald's coffee lawsuit. al gore's ozone burning. the mexican border stampede. or perhaps the head-bobbing indian terrorist at airport security? oh heck, i love them all! happy memorial day! happy memorial day to us all!
