Toby Keith - Advocate of lynching?

Maybe. Could somone get away with a song called "Wives Wanted," that had lyrics about how a woman would keep her mouth shut, that talked about how a man could shut it for her without the law getting involved, that had the refrain, "Son, let me tell you why I beat your mother?" Would it make a difference if the song was written by hunky Toby Keith or some widow burner from India?

More seriously, I think the real human phenomenon of misguided yearning can be artistically portrayed. I just don't think the quoted lyrics come anywhere close to it.
