Not really, an appreciation of Bluegrass is something I
apparently share with him and millions of others, including
folk singers such as Pete Seeger..

...and Scots comedian, Billy Connelly, one of the funniest men alive
and an accomplished banjo player.. CERTAINLY NO REDNECK!

Now that IS a redneck rag, B^D but I bet none of it's
re****ters can p[lay the banjo.
Why are the Howard haters, whose vicious attacks we have seen
tear the Victorian party apart, now turning on peaceful banjo
players and calling them rednecks.
Just because Rednecks might play banjo does not make all
banjo players rednecks. That is a fallacy, and it is not
surprising that tory rednecks, with notoriously low IQ's,
and especially the Townsville Taliban, thicker than pig****,
make that mistake!

Not true, he implied the banjo was played, it is the redneck
tories who implied that banjo=redneck! B^)
In doing so they reveal THEIR OWN ignorance, as the banjo is an
instrument INVENTED by African slaves and adopted by white folks! B^D
YEEEEHAW! B^D

As in the USSA when you enter the Appalachian Mountains.
So what is wrong with being able to play a musical instrument?
>> the slime bags in the
Liberal party are now implying that 'banjo' equals 'redneck',
which would be the sort of 'dog whistling' which Howard loved
to indulge in. Of course the banjo-pluckin, pig ****in redneck
tories can see it NO OTHER WAY, because ALL the banjo players they
know ARE REDNECKS and pig ****ers..
> There's not much of that in the Labour Party.
Certainly not!
And it's 'Labor' Party, you illiterate redneck!
but Billy Connelly is the exception which disproves the
stereotype the tory rednecks hold.. ! ;-)
IF banjo pluckin and redneck WERE synonyms, I would not have been
using BOTH in the one sentence to be very specific about the
banjo-pluckin, pig ****in rednecks who followed Pauline Hanson
till her cult of racist ****pigs imploded, and then joined the
liberal voters, because Howard was the NEXT BEST THING for bigots!
Music is wings for the human spirit..
