Gerard Butler is a Nude Law-Abiding Citizen

@hangglider: Thanks for your post. Alot of people are feeling the same way. Check out the last 10-15 posts on thread dated April 10 2009 to see that he really does go for the kids. Sad, strange man!

BTW, what singer are you talking about in your post? Over 2000 posts, that’s amazing! We may soon have a book here as well.

Seasider, I liked your post too. What surprised and dismayed me was how quickly Gerry Butler seemed to morph in the press from an interesting Scottish actor who wasn’t well known in America, to Hollywood hunk, stud, beefcake, hottie who seems to spend a lot of time at high profile celebrity parties and fashion shows etc. and get his picture taken everywhere. Yet there are still a lot of Americans who don’t know who he is! It’s as if this persona was almost manufactured overnight by the Hollywood PR machine from raw material!

Anoni, I responded to your question and I guess it didn’t get posted although I thought it did. Perhaps comments that don’t mention Butler get filtered out as irrelevant here. The singer and song I mentioned is a You Tube video of Steve Earle performing his 1980s hit “Copperhead Road.” Do you know it? It’s about moonshining, pot growing and other crimes in Tennessee, the Vietnam War and the poor life in the American South. A lot said with a few words and aggressive bluegrass/rock music. Southerners especially seem to love this song and many wrote in with stories about how their own families made moonshine and other aspects of Southern history.

Anoni, I replied to your question and thought my reply was posted but it seems not to have been. The singer and song I mentioned was Steve Earle and a You Tube performance of his 1980s hit song “Copperhead Road.” Do you know it? I didn’t, probably because in the Eighties I was living in a couple of places that weren’t big on country, didn’t even have a country radio station. If you don’t know it, it’s a very clever bluegrass/rock song about moonshining , pot growing, the Vietnam War, murder and the life of “poor white trash” in Tennessee. Few words but very amusing. It generated all these reminiscences from people about how their families made moonshine and other aspects of life in the American South.

@hangglider: I know that song - very catchy. Steve also sings ‘Galway Girl’. The song which Gerry performed in PSILY.

Popcorn and Anoni

I know that Earle wrote “Galway Girl,” which surprised me. I had assumed it was a traditional Irish song, not written by an American from Tennessee.! Shows how much I know about music! Someone who seems knowledgeable about the topic told me Earle lived in Ireland for awhile and wrote GG for an Irish musician, Sharon Shannon, after they appeared in a gig together. According to this source, Earle was quite smitten with Ms. Shannon. Hey, there’s gossip all over!

“Copperhead Road” is a terrific song and I think the two pieces have some resemblance to each other in their beat and sound but CH has a rebellious, outlaw character in both music and words that’s just pure fun. I first heard it in a local country bar I frequent and looked it up, had no idea at the time that Earle was the composer of GG too.

it’s only a matter of time before
someone,
somewhere,
with nothing to lose
has their own agenda
and doesn’t listen to his “don’t tell because of my career” or “don’t tell because the media will be after you” drivel.
he’ll get check mated on his own bullsh*t board.
wait for it.

KILLJESUS KILLJESUS KILLGERALDBUTLER KILLJESUS!

@killjesus:
Psycho.

@Tana, #437, thanks I will. Sometimes i don’t go too far back with some of the older threads/pics…I will now. thx for the tip. we will stay tuned…

Anoni, of course Earle has celtic blood. I think that’s why he went to Ireland soul searching. Read up on the history of the southern Appalachian mountains if you haven’t. In the 18th century there were mass immigrations to the American colonies of people from Scotland and Northern Ireland, most of whom went to what was then the English speaking frontier in the southern Appalachians, which became the states of Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, the Carolinas and Georgia. The Celts intermarried with the Cherokee and Creek and swapped music and dance with them and the African slaves. I believe this incredible ethnic mix gave us bluegrass music and rock n roll. Much of the music you have heard in movies and TV shows about pioneering days comes from this mix. The southeast had important Indian chiefs named William MacIntosh and Andrew McGillivray. I only recently learned some of this stuff. Steve Earle seems to incorporate all of his heritage in his music.

I think he looks sexy either way. He’s a very talented and seems like a very sweet guy! Luv u Gerry! ♥♥♥

@Anon: uuuhhhh. Aidan Quinn is Irish not Scottish and he was born in Chicago.
