Dude. You just made Freddie's music boring. People! Shame this man!

What Queen song would a Cuntry "star" cover?

Ah yes, a country singer using either two first names or two last names.

What the fuck kind of name is Brantley? That sounds like a joke name someone made up when making fun of how millennials name their kids.
RayneOfSalt
It was the name of Michael J Fox's character in "The Secret Of My Success".
TheTickTockMan19
Again they so obtuse that they can't even comprehend that they are being so easily manipulated. Where ever Fox News points them, that's where they will blindly go until they get spun around and pointed to some new stupid boycott of the week to go after with no knowledge of anything.

I kind of would like to know more about this case, as the header could be a bit manipulative itself.

"Following his conversation with Urban, Gilbert not only was able to give up alcohol, but he also credits the “Wild Hearts” singer with saving his life.
“If it weren’t for him, I don’t know if I’d be sober or be in this business anymore. I’d probably be dead,” he said."

I have been seeing more and more people are transphobes, that aren't homophobes. Freddie would have told him to stop playing his music, either way. I wonder if Queen will send him a cease and desist letter on doing covers of their music?
ApexConyers
The Gays have become Too Powerful now, so they needed to switch their open attacks to a more marginalized group with less support.
eggmuffin
Oh, there is no such distinction. These bigot are scared of anything and everything they don't understand. But you have to remember that public statements from such scum are made to specific audiences, each one tailored to arouse fear, confusion and anger in other bigots. That means they'll usually focus on whatever is currently driving the conversation in their echo chambers. Today, that means trans people.
martineb72
No I mean I work with a lot of right wing older people that are perfectly fine with gays, but this fear and hatred they have of trans is unreal. One of them even said, "Now that they can marry, they are alright. Since they are in a committed relationship." Never mind they were against it before.
eggmuffin
That comes with familiarity. From exposure to the thing they fear. They didn't change, they're still scared of everything they don't understand, they have just attained some understanding of gay people. In both cases, the mindset is the same, defensive, paranoid.
MelfsAcidArrow
I think that we overuse the term “Star” in the context of both country music and pornography

I have never heard of him because I dislike country music. But he has 4 #1 songs and an impressive list of awards. He is a bona fide star. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brantley_Gilbert

See this is a good discussion opener. I wholeheartedly agree.

For all movies, I feel like people just perform. Only some are stars. But, what do I know?

Starring in a movie/show means being one of the main performers.

Look at the sky at night. Some stars are brighter than others. Some you don't see buts another person's favorite. This metaphor is getting away from me a little but I hope you get it.

I think "star" as a name for all the twinkly dots on the night sky when viewed by a non-astronomer just looking up at night is acceptable. Even "shooting star" for a meteor is cool.

Conservatives can not create. They can only appropriate. Nazis did it with most of their symbology. Metal Milita and Skrewdriver did it with punk. Brantley "My name is a prime time TV joke name" Gilbert does it with Queen.

Nikolai5
That's still covered in LGBT, something this guy is protesting against by wasting beer. Personally I think we're giving him much more attention than he deserves and normally gets, which is probably why he did this in the first place. Nobody listens to his shit so he thinks a silly performance like this will drum up publicity.
drowninginthesouth
I wonder if the people that own queen music can demand him to stop singing it.
Kdvdp
Can someone explain that bud light stuff and how it connects with LGBTQ? I'm not American. I think I missed it and now I see way too many references here which I don't exactly understand
spookywhispering
They put a pride rainbow on their cans. Seriously that's it.
AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
Those cans with the rainbow are actually from 2022 in Canada and have nothing to do with the Dylan Mulvaney thing, articles just love to use pictures of them when talking about the current story. Nothing has changed about the Bud Light cans people are buying, they're just mad Bud Light did a promotion with a trans person.
spookywhispering
Ah, I just assumed they were being dumb bigots (correct, but for the wrong issue) and was not up to date. Sorry bout that.
StuckHereWithYouAndThoseClowns
Bud light recently chose a LBGTQ spokesperson and that didn’t sit well with some more conservative Bud Light drinkers.
idiotsonfire
Bud Light put the face of a trans woman on their can, and it pissed off the psychos.
Delathi
On ONE can, that they gave to her. Not for sale to the public. They made ONE can as a present.

GerbilHereReportingLiveFromRichardGeresAss
Holy shit, THAT triggered them? What a bunch of snowflakes
idiotsonfire
What does their party name stand for, the party is GOP, it stands for "Gaslight, obstruct, project." They are in the "projection" phase because to a conservative, they only relate to their children and to others by bullying them and indoctrinating them into their horrid ideologies, so they project that because THEY do it, EVERYONE ELSE does it too. They shove their god down their kid's throats, their political views, their racism, so they just assume everyone's as dogshit a person as they are.
idiotsonfire
So to them, the idea that one person can have a special beer can is insanity, because they're now convinced that because one person got a can, they don't get to have theirs, and that because one person benefitted, they somehow lost some god right or something or their liberty was infringed because someone ELSE is special, and not them.
Kdvdp
Hahaha, wtf. Can people stop projecting their problems onto things that have nothing to do with their problems. I know it is tradition to scapegoat onto minorities... But it is getting old, isn't it?

No way anyone in a shit modern country band would attempt that bonkers keytar solo.
IfIfitsItits
Well, it's a good song.
Dinwiddie
"Another One Bites The Dust". Someone in the audience threw the can on stage as the intro started. He grabbed it and said "Yeah! Fuck that" and smashed it. Apparently he quit drinking a few years ago. Then he tossed another back to the drummer and told him to shotgun it. So... what was it ? Display of an exe drinker, making another beer bite the dust, or homophobic reaction relating to all the Bud Lite fuss ? Have to ask him I guess. https://tasteofcountry.com/brantley-gilbert-bud-light-video/
scribetree
Of course it was the shittiest Queen song.
NebulousToucan
lol some dumb fuck threw their $9 bud light away after paying for it lolololol
soepie7
So, it's not about Bud Light homophobia, but about him not drinking alcohol regardless of the can's colours, and by making the drummer shotgun it he showed that if you're not against drinking alcohol, Bud Light is still worth drinking?
Dinwiddie
Sounds like a fair assumption. And it may have also been a subtle put down to the person in the audience who tossed the Bud Lite ? Or... maybe the person in the audience thought because it was a lite beer he'd still be into drinking it ???
wipethatfaceoffyourheadbitch
I think he tossed the drummer a different beer that hasn’t been boycotted by the dummies yet but still likely in the AB family anyway. Dummies all around.

True story, an old friends dad had an unusual name. His parents had a nice normal name picked out for him. When he was born the doctor said “what’s his name? I need to fill out the birth certificate.” “We’re naming him Martin.” They said. Anywho, the doctor remembered to dot his ‘i’ but forgot to cross his ‘t’ and that’s how they ended up with their little Marlin.

What a tremendous load of horse shit. Country music is directly descended from European folk music and is a direct precursor to both Rock & Roll and Rythm and Blues. Bluegrass predates jazz.

Bluegrass is older than jazz. I don't think you are right on this one. Eric Clapton seems like a reasonable target for the "who killed jazz?" murder mystery you just invented.
idiotsonfire
Yes. But bluegrass and country are not the same. Even a few casual searches, bluegrass has a vastly different sound, different instruments, and very unique vocal styles and lyrical styles than country. Comparing the "songs" played on country stations to older bluegrass, its clearly different enough to be a subgenre at best, or its own genre altogether now at worst.
