Am I the only one with the big brass ones it takes to be unabashed Statler Brothers fan?

Bring me those sweet sassy harmonies and bowl-of-sunshine bonhomie that sends an aching joy through my tired bones, or you can fuck right off!

I can sing every line of “Do you remember these?” and “The class of 57” without messing up. I grew up riding shotgun in my old man’s big rig. I listened to same 36 cassette tapes every summer for 8 or 9 years. No phones or video games, you get real aquatinted with music. I still love the Statlers.
When I started driving at 14, I got to play what I wanted. I bought a lot of comedy tapes, Redd Foxx had the best dirty jokes.
 
I loved their first "hit", Counting Flowers on the Wall. After a while, they just seemed to fall into that Nashville trap of sounding like everyone else, but they had great voices.
 
I enjoy them. I'm just not so assertive about it.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to smoke cigarettes and watch Captain Kangaroo.
