Brian Flemming poopies his Pampers
Spare the rod and spoil the child
This is going to hurt you worse than it hurts me


This fella Flemming responded in a particularly asinine way to my music review of the Clint Black pro-war song "I Raq and Roll." Indulge me for a moment then, humble readers, while I offer him up for amusing public ridicule:

Uh, oh! Looks like Mr. Flemming got so mad over losing the argument about going to war that he has poopied his Pampers, and he wants the adults to stop and smell.

Mr. Flemming has not even made an attempt at pretending to present rational thought, but merely wishes to throw a childish temper tantrum. He simply made up some really stupid statements out of wholecloth, then placed them in Clint Black's mouth so he can use his own words to claim that Clint is stupid and evil. For example, among other asininities Flemming said that Black's simple straightforward pro-military lyric is tantamount to endorsing the assassination of Robert Byrd, various other Democrat Party officials, and anybody else the Republicans don't like. Seriously. READ FOR YOURSELF.

Only a petulant child, say about a 4 year old, would usually be likely to spout such patently false nonsense, then expect people to believe it just because he's real adamant about how he says it. Now it might be possible that my 8 year old nephew would try to get away with telling a little fib if he didn't think he'd get caught, but he's way too mature to make up something completely ridiculous knowing that absolute proof against him is RIGHT THERE. Mr. Flemming seems to be acting out on such a stunted level of emotional development that he's just mad and venting, without thinking ahead to how his little hissy fit will look from the point of view of the grown-ups. His mother obviously didn't raise him right.

Really though, I blame the schools. They used to teach young people how to think, and critical skills like math and literature. Now they mostly just teach self-esteem. They don't have to actually EARN that esteem by fighting for their country, or by learning how to at least attempt to make a logical analysis. They have feelings just like everybody, and their feelings count just as much as anybody elses. And if he loses an argument or election he'll hold his breath till his face turns blue!

Now Brian, I ain't mad at cha or nothing, but if you come out on the playground with a pantload, and then insist on making everybody sniff it, you have to expect to be made fun of. You're asking for it.

Indeed, there's no sense even attempting to explain to Master Brian that the article is a MUSIC REVIEW. He's operating at such a low level of intellectual sophistication that he cannot even for a second try to separate out the idea of songwriting and record production from his very firm and therefore true political beliefs. Does the song have a good tune, or an especially good guitar solo? You might as well be talking to yourself.

Well, music break's over. The adults need to discuss serious things now, Brian. Run along and let Mommy change your diaper.
