On this Presidents Day Monday, you may be saying that the US military is demonstrating its horribly misplaced priorities by publicly honoring hair rocker Kip Winger (Winger/Kip Winger) for Winger's Winger IV album. And normally I'd agree with you. And I'll agree with you now, too. This shit is ridiculous.
Multi-platinum recording artist Kip Winger was recently presented with an honorary plaque and a historic flag by the government of the United States. Winger was recognized for his musical composition "Blue Suede Shoes" honoring the service and sacrifice of the United States armed forces and their families [sic].Winger IV's concept and emphasis was [sic] on our [sic] military and what it was like to be solider, form [sic] a soldiers [sic] perspective, leaving politics at the door [all sic]. Kip had a vision to support the American troops that are standing ground in Iraq and elsewhere.
That's a slap in the face, huh? Oh I don't mean to the neglected people lugging all those guns around the freaking desert, but to Queensryche and Filter, both of whom have authored albums about the conflicted life of a US soldier. It's all politics.
