I can’t say I’m surprised. He falls right in the middle of that demographic. I grew up listening to The Mississippi Squirrel and Eric the Awful. I grew up watching The Cosby Show too, and Hercules. Some of the old stuff is still enjoyable, even if the artist isn’t. Not all of it tho. I can’t watch most Kevin Spacey or Mel Gibson movies
Yeah I listened to his songs a lot as a kid as well. It was just jarring to hear the silly song guy repeat quack conservative conspiracies when I looked back into him later down the line, though like you say, not unexpected given his demographic.
Ray Stevens went a long way from that song in 1987 to his one about how dems get dead people to vote for them in 2012
