No analyzing at all, really, Martin -- except in terms of posting. What I expressed in my post was what hit me square in the head the first time I ever heard that song.

And I wouldn't take it seriously if there weren't so many folks out there who actually would like the US to be more like Saudi Arabia with respect to "evildoers."

Willie may be singing this song sort of tongue-in-cheek. I'm not so sure Toby is. But even if they are, a lot of fans probably aren't hearing it that way.


PS,
I do like Willie, but I've thought Toby was obnoxious every time I've heard him open his mouth.
