Poll question: The Official Kenny Rogers: Real American Hero Poll!


Right or wrong, this man is an American icon. He wussified Country music, made a shitty movie (and a few shitty made for tv miniseries), started a restaurant and is a walking infomercial for Indian casinos. Which one is your favorite?

1. Doesn't even look like him
Maybe it's just the angle, but I would never have know who it was.

6. I've never seen one in real life
Are they still in business?

18. How the Hell did that song ever sell as "country music" anyway?
It was written, produced, and more or less performed (aside from the lead vocals) by the fucking BEE GEES.

And that's about as anti-country as you can get. So anti-country that when Barry Gibb bought Johnny Cash's house after Johnny & June had died, God himself decided it was better to torch the place than allow the hairy faced disco monkey to live there.

13. I remember, I think it was Christopher Titus on some VH1 special, saying how his dad
took that song really seriously on a philosophical level, and would always quote the lyrics. :rofl:

16. Voted for Six Pack, It's so bad, it's good.
I remember watching this movie. Kenny Rogers and six kids in an RV or something? What I remember especially is this song that the kids sang:
"Rocky Top!
Rocky Top, Tennersee!
There ain't no corn in Rocky Top,
So we drink it from a can..."
