The Band We Don’t Speak Of has a new video that debuted this morning for their song “One Star Flag”. Since every time I speak of The Band We Don’t Speak Of random drama for other people who don’t hate me always ensues, I wasn’t going to speak of it…but I have to because this video stars my Texas Women gals Ali Dee and Brooke Jeter!
The song is an up tempo Charlie Daniels’ish ditty about riding the rodeo that mentions Texas, trains, whiskey, and Fort Worth. It ain’t so bad. I tapped a toe or two. Even I can’t hate a fiddle solo like that. Also, if you noticed there is just enough of the magic light to know this video was done by Evan Kaufmann.
Ali plays “the girlfriend” part and Brooke shows off her roping skills.


If there are other famous people rodeo guys in the video, I’m sorry that don’t know their names. I only follow Reality TV.

Things I know for a fucking fact:
Casey Donehew is the greatest songwriter of my generation.
There was a second spitter.
The sun rises in the east.
Billy Joe shot a guy in the fucking face and walked.
With the “Sandlot”, the movie industry reached a cinematic zenith.
Townes Van Zandt is the the second best songwriter of all time behind Casey Donehew.
… So in summation, don’t be hatin’, just cause you are no celebrated bard of which moves the masses with his poignant poetic verse. Please do not be hatin’ because you do not have a Southern Thread sponsorship of which Mr. Donehew looks dashing and noble. Please do not be hatin’ as the high tide washes over as you, a barnacle, cling to the safe but unfulfilling stationery refuse lodged in the mud at low tide. Good day!
Please do not be hatin’.
I don’t know if this person is being sadly sarcastic or not but he or she should have internet privileges revoked for life for saying Casey Donahew, or ANYONE for that matter, is a better songwriter than Townes Van Zandt. I hope Billy Joe gets a hold of you.
You are a sad clown. I say, dear sirs or ma’ams, that you are indeed a cunt. I will not have anyone insult the intelligence of Mr. Donahew for he will ultimately brandish the shiny sword of truth. Good day cunt, I tell ya twat.
Looks like you took class and vocabulary lessons straight from Mr. Donahew himself!
you are one sick mofo Are you some Evangelist Preacher? Get thee to your church and relax
You have got to be kidding me? Please GOD tell me this is a fucking joke?
Casey Donadouche the greatest songwriter of all time? YOU ARE FUCKING INSANE!!!!!
Is this whole scenario a joke? Where is all this hate and rage coming from? Can someone fill me in? Rita what the hell is this all about?
Casey who?
who is Casey? AM I missing something?
oh and this video is so fucking corny….on top of that, how many 15 year olds are in the audience??? Seriously did they just bus kids in for the crowd?
That should say it all, hormonal teenagers are his fan base, once they grow up a little and learn a little lets hope they find good music. They sure as hell don’t have it now with Donadouche.
Oh and Melinda if you’re reading this, which we all know you are, I have a message for you.
I will be so glad when your lackluster husband’s star completely fades away, because hopefully he takes you with him. You are an evil bitch who has stepped on so many people its impossible to count. Your fall down is going to be a rough one sweetheart, a very rough one.
who the hell in Melinda and what has she done? I am so curious I can’t take it. Help Help
How is it you know so much about the video if you hate it so much?
Casey is the top of the heap right now. That is a fact. It doesn’t matter if your music snob ass doesn’t like him. More people like to cut loose and have a good time than contemplate suicide over deep fucking lyrical poetry at $20 a ticket.
People work hard, and want to play hard. Casey gives us that opportunity. So shut the fuck up, because there are way more of us than there are of you, so I doubt Casey is going anywhere until he is damn good and ready.
And Melinda, if you are reading this, which we all know you are, I have a message for you. Keep being hot as hell and keep driving Casey to give us more. And please ignore the shit out of the vocal, and incredibly envious, minority.
We know what we like, and we like raising hell and having fun. If I want to hear poetry, I’ll find a coffee shop in Austin. If I want to unwind after a week of working my ass off just to stay afloat, I’ll go find a Casey show and party my worries away.
A rough fall? You are one dumb bitch. Falling is a little easier when you land in a pile of cash sweetheart.
Top of what heap? A heap of shit? Sorry but his one star is fading. I haven’t heard anything about him in months. The scene is taking a turn for the better with bands like the Turnpike Troubadours, Dirty River Boys and The Damn Quails. It isn’t being a music snob either and if you say they are you don’t know what you are speaking about. If you have seen any of those three acts perform it is far far far from snobby or depressing. They are different and talented and being innovative. People that are under the age of 16 are the ones that are going to CDB shows and even that is starting to fade. People are over it. Did anyone hear about the crowd at Wolfdance? It was pathetic and they lost money. People are over songs about white trash from Texas and beer. Will the kids still show up to his shows? Sure they will but he isn’t getting any younger and at what point is it just gross for 15 year old girls screaming for a 35 year old man? He isn’t Kevin Fowler who has a fan base of all ages and can really entertain.
At the end of the day who cares? You are right. They have made money off of people like you OYFGSMFD and pooled it into the business plan. They will always have a steady flow of cash but they will never have the respect of their peers that worked all these years to support their love of music and families that paved the way for him to even have a following. That is the truth and because of that they will always be criticized. Those dollar bills better help buy thick skin.
please take a handful of Xanax Its just a fucking band. Isn’t it.? You r crying a river of broken hearted dreams it seems to me
“Party my worries away”, yeah because they really go away with massive amounts of alcohol and you called me the dumb bitch?
They may have made some money, you’re right about that. Money doesn’t last forever and when you have been screwing over everyone else in the scene for years karma will get you, so your ‘hot’ little friend Bitchlinda better have put a lot in savings. Her time is coming to end in this scene, thank GOD!
I wish I knew who this girl Melinda is. What the hell has she done to make her so hated by you all. Thank God I am not really into Country music……. I prefer my hip hop artists They aren’t as insane as you all seem to be
Liz Z. – LOVE these Meridith! I can totally tell the direffence between cameras, and can’t wait to upgrade mine too (at some point!) Gorgeous work, as usual.
Although I can’t say I’m a huge cdb fan I can say that he catches a lot of hell from people that dont know or pay to see him! It’s your right to decide what bands you spend your money on so if you don’t like cdb’s music don’t buy it, kinda like what Rita’s says, If you don’t like it don’t read it!
If you don’t like cdbs music don’t listen to it. Your gonna give yourself a heart attack mofo. Rita always says If you don’t like it don’t read it
Holy Shit and OMFG need to dig into some Rita archives and respect the awesomeness that is GarthBrooksLover69.
GarthBrooksLover 69 (ha ha) language is so disgusting I just puked all over his comments
Oh and a local station is giving away free tix to see this band we don’t mention and even free tix aren’t enough to interest me in a show. And I’m certainly not gonna waste three minutes of my life watching this video, no matter who’s in it.
so shut up and move on to something more interesting and positive
these comments were 3 minutes of awesome entertainment.
Thanks, Rita-myluv
what video?
Wow there is so much shit about this guy! I don’t kno or care who he is or why everyone hates him and Melinda (?) I was just happy to see Ali and Brooke from Texas Women. All the haters need to take some drugs and chill. I got to read all this shit again. Did Casey murder someones family? And who the hell in Melinda? Is she a child molester?
who is Casey and the devil reincarnated as Melinda ? Never heard of them or their video. I am so glad to be me
