If you can make it all the way through Sarah Palin’s cousin’s band, I will eat my hat

With Sarah Palin’s enthusiastic endorsement of her cousin’s group as “the most patriotic band I know!”, Albuquerque’s Missing Stateside are poised to become one of the biggest local bands in middle-American butt-rock. For those of you not familiar with the rural areas of fly-over states, these kinds of bands are as ubiquitous as they inescapable. At every state fair, there is a Missing Stateside. At every dive bar, there is a Missing Stateside. At every fish fry, barbeque, Fourth of July? Of course there is a Missing Stateside!

JD Morgan, Palin’s kin, started the band on a military base in Iceland in 2003, during which time I’m sure both Sigur Rós and Björk felt an inexplicable chill in their bones. The dudes have since opened for such heavy-hitters as Foghat, Steppenwolf, Skid Row and even Quiet Riot. As horrifying as I find this particular “genre” of music, it’s fish in a barrel stuff to mock, and honestly I’ve no particular inclination to tear apart the band of what appears to be a gracious, mannerly guy, who’s simply playing his music. Like I said, there are a million bands exactly as terrible as this one.

Besides, I’m having flashbacks from listening to that song, and I need to go lie down. Proceed at your own caution.
