All kidding aside, this is one of my favorite country songs. Just found this awesome live version that I'd never seen before:

Deportee (Highwayman)

Having exactly what to do with responding to a request to sing something in Spanish? Be honest - you know AT LEAST 2 songs in the Spanish language if not more.


I can think of maybe two and I'd have to mumble some of the words.

You clearly aren't a musician either, as you'd understand that being in the middle of a show and fumbling through a song you don't really know the words to - AND ALSO HAVE TO PLAY ON THE GUITAR - wouldn't work. Nobody would do that.

You've totally lost when your argument essentially became "he said he can't SPEAK Spanish, which has nothing to do with SINGING it guyz!"

If this were a black rapper who said this, Big Scrub and Ebbandflow would not appear anywhere in the thread.

The soft bigotry of low expectations would strike again, I guess.

But I AM a musician...and I pride myself on being able to at least do the "fake book" version of almost any popular song someone asks for (ditto piano).

No, that's when ol' Aaron went off the rails.

Hey, Aaron - can you maybe sing something in Spanish?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I'M AMERICAN...I DON'T SPEAK SPANISH!!!!!!!

Was it a small venue?

If it was a decent sized audience, it comes off like Tiger Woods not being able to hit a stationary ball off a tee if a camera shutters

Not paying your employees a living wage is a profession?

Pig porker... You should quit.

Lighten up, Daphne. I was having a bit of fun with some lyrics that make no sense.

Curiously, that's not terribly different from the number of Americans who are illiterate.

My bartenders get paid better than they did anywhere else as a server or bartender.

Saw him Friday night in Galveston ... he was very tolerant of the audience. Took requests and everything. The audience knew when to STFU though and let him play. It works both ways.

So, 1.295 in 10 Americans speak Spanish? Who the frick comes up with 1 in 10 as any form of valid argument...


That’s a pretty terrible percentage tbh when like 25% of Americans are Hispanic

Sorry but pretending to like Staind because Aaron Lewis is “MAGA” is where I draw the line. They were empirically a terrible band
