The right can churn out those kind of songs because their audience doesn’t give a shit if they suck. And those songs do suck regardless of the message. Any artist with integrity won’t put out something that’s just a “Fuck Тяцмр” song if it isn’t any good.

Points for the sentiment, but that was probably the worst song of his I've heard since he was putting out garbage in the 80s to get out of his record contract.
