A Double Dose of Rebellion on Music Monday

The Sheepdog is rather perturbed. In fact, I’ve had it with the Republican-controlled Tennessee Legislature and Governor “Slick Billy” Haslam. Since they’ve taken power, they’ve insisted on telling Tennesseans how much allergy medication we can buy, where we can and can’t carry our guns, where we can take a selfie, and more. I could go on and on. That’s not freedom, and it needs to stop.

So, today, I’m musically expressing my continued displeasure with these bums, and I’ll start with a music video from Monster Truck. Their song “Don’t Tell Me How To Live” is a good way to start this double shot of music on the 2nd Monday in May. The video is embedded below or can be watched by clicking here.

Hang on, though, this video is like the “warm-up band” at a rock concert. The Sheepdog’s just getting started. The best, “the headliner”, is below.

The previous grievances I’ve had with the Tennessee Legislature and the governor are not my biggest problem with them, though. Recently, these so-called “conservatives” rammed through what will turn out to be the biggest tax increase on Tennesseans in my lifetime. These liars, with the help of the media and fuzzy math, conned many Tennesseans into believing it is “The Largest Tax Cut in Tennessee History”.

Nothing could be further from the truth, because the few taxes that are cut in the legislation will only benefit a few, mainly the wealthy, and the cut in the sales tax on food will be far outweighed by the increase in the gas tax and the diesel fuel tax. In fact, the increase in the diesel fuel tax will force up prices on ALL products sold in Tennessee as transportation and shipping costs will go up across the board and be passed on to consumers. It’s basic Economics 101 no matter what the politicians tell you.

So, to thoroughly express my outrage with the Tennessee liars’ con-job, “the headliner” on this edition of double-shot music Monday is Nickelback with their #1 hit “Edge Of A Revolution“. It’s perfect here with images of school kids turning from conformists going along with the status quo into nonconformists refusing to take it anymore.

Until Tennesseans do the same thing and stop voting the same Tennessee politicians back into office every single election, nothing will change. They will continue to do whatever they want to us. Video is embedded below or can be watched by clicking here.

Due to some of the images in the video, I know someone’s thinking,”Wow. The Sheepdog’s gone full-Commie on us.” Absolutely not. Neither am I encouraging rioting in Tennessee. All I’m saying by sharing this video is don’t buy into the Tennessee GOP’s “mass delusion” that the fuel tax increase will actually be a tax cut, because “they’re depending on mass confusion”. “Don’t lay down and accept this fate.” Instead, be revolutionaries with your vote on Election Day 2018 by voting every single, sorry Tennessee incumbent out of office regardless of party.

Don’t be a sheep. Be a sheepdog. Let your vote be your teeth. I promise you I will.
