Country singers at war over hockey...this made my Tuesday.
As we all know, the Canucks were eliminated by the LA Kings in round 1 of the playoffs. People braced for a riot and when it didn't happen Vancouverites congratulated themselves on keeping it together (actually I don't know this as fact...but you could see why I would think this).
Oilers' fan
Brett Kissel, (who is also a Canadian country singer who I unfortunately have never heard of) wrote something on Facebook mocking the Canucks first round loss. People got pissed (Canucks fans...can't take a little ribbing) and then he wrote an 'apology' song to the tune of Alan Jackson's
She's Gone Country.
Chad Brownlee is Canadian country singer who I have heard of and was actually a former hockey player and drafted by the Canucks in 2003. I guess he is still a fan of the team, and made a video in response to Kissel's...to the tune of the worst country song currently decimating the airwaves:
Red Solo Cup. Eck...I am not going to say anything about how it makes sense that a person who is a Canucks fan would also like that song, because I don't want to get burned to death next time I am in VanCity.
Anyways, I appreciate the Canadian past time love by these two artists. If I were to declare a winner...well it would have to be Kissel, and not because he is the anti-Canucks guy, but because I HATE
Red Solo Cup.
XOXO
Jes...
Thanks Lisa for the tip!
Hockey is really a sport in Canada where they fight over it.
