On the Beat: David Menconi on music
News & Observer music critic David Menconi's random (and we do mean random) musings about all things related to music and culture of the "popular" variety.
Rhett & Link: Give me barbecue, or give me death
Submitted by dmenconi on 08/05/2008 - 23:34
It is one of the key commandments of being Southern: Thou shalt let no claim of great barbecue go unchallenged. But I think we can agree that whatever your preferred style (and I should note that, while I've learned to like North Carolina barbecue, I still consider it no substitute for The Real Thing), if you're not craving a barbecue sammich after checking out this tutorial from the music/comedy duo Rhett & Link, there's something wrong with you.
I'll take mine with a Big Red!
(Thanks, Patty.)

it can't be.
Thu, 08/07/2008 - 13:31 — patty (not verified)That is my new favorite comic. Awesome. Big Red is most certainly not as good as Cheerwine. The words "Big Red" and "good" can never be used in the same sentence unless the word "not" appears between them. Or, apparently, unless you are from Texas.
DM counters -- I've taken the liberty of editing your misguided hateration into something closer to, you know, THE TRUTH:
Big Red is most certainly much better than Cheerwine. The words "Big Red" and "good" should always be used in the same sentence, and people who disagree are either stupid or not from Texas (or both).
Big Red

Big Red can't be as good as Cheerwine, can it?
