Let me get this straight. Here's a celebrity up on his soapbox bitching
about celebrities who are up on their soapbox?  He calls them pampered and
overpaid?  Charlie, baby, YOU'RE A MILLIONAIRE!!  How many deli trays and
cases of champagne were on YOUR contract rider tonight?  What five-star
hotel are YOU staying at?  What the Hell would you know about an overworked,
OTR truck driver?  Unless maybe he's working for you, hauling your shit
around the country day and night.  Gimme a break!  You wouldn't know the
real world if it bit you in the ass. You live in the dream world of
Nashville glitz and privileged celebrityhood. How seriously am I supposed to
take some rich, redneck fiddler who still thinks the South's Gonna Do It
Again?  Do what, Charlie?  Have another civil war?  Overturn the
Emancipation Proclamation?  You'd like that, wouldn't you?  I can see you're
a real patriot.(?)  You've got your cowboy hat on a little too tight there,
buckaroo.  And why is it that you wear it so low that nobody can ever see
your eyes?  Hiding something?  We played "The Devil Went Down To Georgia"
tonight.  Tomorrow night, I'm boycotting you, you hypocrite!!! Yeee frickin'
haw!

P.S. Barbara Streisand DOES make more sense than Michael Jackson--she just
does--it ain't hard!  Get over it!
