His explanation is just bitchy and insulting. Dick!

    If Vince Gill were REALLY from the South, he'd know that you NEVER taunt a rapper unless you are armed... and have your piece out and ready to shoot back. Certainly that's how it's done in Alabama, where I live.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought Vince sounded like a crass idiot with that crack.

It had an accompanying graphic showing five critics' picks for AOTY. All five gave Kanye their "will win" votes and four gave him their "should win" votes. And one critic actually gave her "should win" vote to Herbie.

I snickered at the time. Guess I and Kanye were both wrong.

I'm an Alabamian, and I can crack an incest joke with the best of them, but why is it always about this "redneck pride" hogwash? Sigh. It gets so old.

They've got the second part right, but it's only because they actually believe the first part is true.

@loudersoft: Agreed. I'm a native Texan. I can't stand when some ignorant douche who happened to be yanked out of a crotch located somewhere below the Mason-Dixon line feels the need to speak on my behalf.

As one of those "people from the south", I'm not sticking together with Vince Gill on anything unless it's his desire to stop making albums.

(...but what he said was pretty funny)
