Toby Keith Willie Nelson ~ Beer For My Horses ~ The Wild Wild West Dance Mix

Remixed by Kim Jong-Un.

Perhaps the one saving grace for this song in my book is the fact that it was remixed by Kim Jong-Un. To me that speaks of how the DPRK stands against the evil imperialists and those that threaten the existence of the DPRK under the guise of it having nuclear weapons which it was forced to acquire much like those being threatened by violent crime going out an buying a gun... Or perhaps when that family in St. Louis felt threatened by those who had broken into a gated community and were on the rampage an the family stood out in front with their guns drawn.
The narrative I still get out of this song still remains the same "they are the bad people and we are the 'good guy's.
What arrogance and self-righteousness this song seems unashamedly spew as if the people being portrayed by it never did anything wrong. Are not these the same people who tore up the Capitol? Are not the Proud Boys among these people? The narrative seems like it's only applicable to those that the people being portrayed in the song as the heroes are citing as the "evil forces".
I never heard much crying over when there is violence perpetrated by these people such as the Charleston mess, the Capitol mess, violence by right wing extremists or attacks on minorities, workers, LGBT and the homeless, instead these people are the subject of songs like this as if they are causing trouble just to be doing so. While it is true that there are those who will seize any opportunity to make trouble, the people from the crowd that this song and other country songs like it represent are content to just lump everyone under the same umbrella. While there were protests over injustices and a small percentage of such protests became violent, these people would just assume say that all the protests are invalid over the small percentage. A friend of mine who likes this song and it's message is one such person who would say that the ninety-three percent of the protests in 2020 were invalidated because of the seven percent that hijacked the protests in order to riot and destroy things.
Also, the same crowd that agrees with the narrative of this song seems to be the ones who made such a big deal over wearing masks as if it was some government ploy to take away everyone's freedom. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The 9-11 mess would qualify as being some "government ploy" way more than some silly mask mandates. What happened in 2001 is still impacting us to this day including Americans being treated as potential terrorists because we "can't be too careful". HORSESHIT! Don't put the crap perpetrated on that day on MY DOORSTEP! Nobody is crying foul over that crap but to ape-shit over some silly-ass mask mandates. I would rather seen backlash over this "homeland security" and "war on terrorism" bullshit. I guess those wanting to "raise up their glasses against evil forces" were not affected enough by the inconveniences wrought by the 9-11 mess like they were when those who are not in their circle started protesting over the injustices long being perpetrated against them. The only injustice these "beer for my horses crowd" experienced is either being affected by the anger from oppressed people.... or having to wear masks.
The song does have a nice arrangement and Kimmy's addition of the orchestra stabs reminds me of the remix for "Boot Scoot Boogie". Willie Nelson makes his first appearance on a dance mix courtesy of the Marshal. I like how the music drops out and the kick drum is accentuated with reverb as Nelson sings "send them all to their maker and he'll settle them down".
