Mike Huckabee Performs "Free Bird" By Lynyrd Skynyrd
July 26, 2007
"If you've ever been at a concert with Lynyrd Skynyrd, I'm sure you heard it before..."
On July 7, 2007, Presidential Candidate and Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee took the stage in Nashua, NH to preform a scorching rendition of the Southern rock anthem "Free Bird" with his band Capitol Offense. The band is comprised of the Governor (bass), members of his staff (plus one family member) and an investment banker (rhythm guitar). The band is billed on their MySpace page as "The Hardest Working Band in Politics!"
There was an uncomfortable feeling in the air as the band played the already down-beat opening at a painfully sleepy tempo. But when Arkansas Family Life Issues Liason Chris Pyle's drums and Presidential Candidate Huckabee's bass kicked into overdrive midway though the song, there was no question that this band rocked!
The response from the crowd was energetic and positive, even though a few more astute Huckabee supporters noticed irony in the lyrics.
"If I leave here tomorrow... will you still remember me?"
Yes, Presidential Candidate Huckabee, we will remember you. Long after you've run out of money and left the race, we will remember how you rocked. We'll remember how you brought Southern rock to New Hampshire and shook the earth with your explosive bass riffs. We'll remember how, when you were fat, you sat in a chair at your state's capitol and broke it to bits. And how you brought a rock-and-roll, just-do-it attitude to dieting and emerged as a thinner, healthier Huckabee. Yes, we will remember you and we will miss you when you're gone. Rock on Governor. Rock on.
Presidential Candidate Mr Breakfast will continue to point out the foibles, goofs and bands of all the candidates (regardless of party) until they reveal a position on the importance of breakfast.
