As the Democrats learned in the last Presidential election, you can't beat Jesus. Tift's "Broken" lost out to Hayes Carll (with Brian Keane) for "She Left Me for Jesus," in the Americana Music Association's "Song of the Year" category.
Listening to this song on YouTube even as I type, I can't fully object to the message at least. Jesus isn't taking the wheel to save the world economy in the song, which certainly is country. Okay, it's pretty funny. "If I ever find Jesus, I'm kicking his ass." |
