One of my co-workers, a redneck islamic from the island of Trinidad (I shit you not*), listens to country music at work, and so, the rest of us have begun to do so as well.
What I love about country music is that you can get away with writing lyrics they would crucify you for if it was a pop song. Drinking to excess, suicide, lynching people, sleeping with teenage girls. It's all out there in the open on counrty radio.
One song actually has a lyric; "He put the bottle to his head and pulled the trigger."
Try writing that for top fourty radio.
And of course, my new favorite song is country. "My Give A Damn's Busted"
*What the hell does this saying even mean?

Your expression is probably meant as some kind of Yoda tribute.
I'd have to agree with TW, it's gotta be some kind of Yoda-ism that can only be pondered after several cocktails.
Hey, I know that song! The one about the guy who drinks himself to death or whatever. My boss always makes me listen to it whenever we go on work related field trips. He claims he doesn't really like it but I can't help but wonder...why are we still listening to it then?
