Holy Sh*T: Ralph Stanley Endorses Barack Obama
Bluegrass Legend Ralph Stanley Endorses Barack Obama:
“After the last eight years, Virginia families need someone on their side, someone looking out for their interests, and I know Barack Obama will be that leader,” Stanley said. “He’ll make it easier for parents to send their kids to college and make sure they have more money left in their pockets at the end of the month.”
Calling Ralph Stanley a legend is actually faint praise: he’s a living legend, one of the originators of bluegrass music. Most of my readers know him as the voice of the Klansman singign “o Death” in “O Brother Where Art Thou”…
…whereas I know him from so many other songs.

Old Ralph, he didn’t just fall off of the turnip truck. I think he has a lot of respect in the white/dixie crowd. Maybe he’ll be able to use some of his wisdom of the ages to shed some light on the truth, and open some minds. I hope.
