I Should've Married My Father-In-Law

Maybe the 2000 presidential election had energized him, as aspiring country singer Tim Wilson was mainly interested in taking potshots at liberal Democrats on I Should've Married My Father-in-Law. Wilson devotes ten out of 23 tracks and more than half of the album's running time to his satiric songs, among them "Hollywood," which posits that would-be actors had better become liberals if they're going to make it in the movies, and "Brady Bill (Gunfighter Without a Gun)," an attack on gun control. Though he professes not to be a Republican, the most criticism he can muster for the Grand Old Party is to make fun of South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond's age. Wilson laces his remarks with four-letter words, all of which are bleeped out, though it's obvious what he's saying, thus sparing his album a parental advisory sticker and making these tracks ready for morning "zoo" radio play, where they doubtless got their widest dissemination.
