Check Yes Or No

( I deleted the video because it kept auto starting and it was angering me.)

Well well well, we’re back here at our usual Sunday and Wednesday night hang out. I know some of you (namely one) were turned off last week by the fact that I decided to use a country video in my post, so I took that into consideration. This week’s post is on the first video I can remember watching, which happens to be a George Strait western video titled “Check Yes or No.” Several factors make it seem reasonable that this would be my devirginizing video. One is that in the house of my early youth, any genre that sounded like rock and roll was the work of the devil, and we didn’t even know what rap was. I honestly think it would have been regarded lower on the list of unholies than Hitler himself. So yes, deionization of pop culture is one reason why the video is country.
The second is that we lived very far out in the country, close to Tibet but not quite to Lancashire. This meant that the only TV station we got was PBS when it was cloudy out; or maybe it was when it wasn’t cloudy… anywho. We had a VCR from the 70’s, so whenever my sisters went to see my Grandmother up north (bless her soul) they made liberal use of her cable TV, and captured well over a hundred hours of CMT videos and brought them back home with them. Therefore, I watched a lot of country videos.
This one happens to be the first I can remember, and it fits me well. Corny, twangy, ridiculous in general. The part I love the most is how it gives ugly kids the hope that they can hook up with pretty girls. Gives hope to all those crazy little horn dogs.
