I can sense my father smiling in his grave
upon typing that line!
Pinkard and Bowden were a hot duo on the
country comedy circuit for a while not that
long ago, parodies and original satire are
their claim to fame.
They found their limelight in the 80’s and 90’s
with some solid song writing for other, more
famous country and western, acts as well as
recording and performing a few of their own tunes.
They were somewhat of an anomaly in that their
performances were sometimes profane and adult in
nature, but still held their own with widespread
fan support.
Richard Bowden was in a band with Don Henley in
the early 70’s and left due to creative differences.
Richard wanted to keep the band “Country” oriented
whereas Don wanted more of a crossover sound to it.
I think you can see where this is going.
This ditty is filled with Dad jokes, and I do mean
filled…
