Hmmm…I have really mixed emotions about this one. I wanted to love it, but I am not sure I did. I like the song and definitely sing along when it pops up on my ipod. I love dogs and Volkswagens. I love sparkly jewelry and big long wavy hair extensions.
There was just a little something about this that I didn’t like.
I get it. Women aren’t perfect little delicate flowers. Women shouldn’t be afraid to raise hell redneck style, shoot shit and burn down houses…but in Shitville, Texas the women that I know that smoke, drink and take pills are usually the ones that you see on peopleofwalmart.com or are the ones that get busted for making “Shake and Bake” meth in their single wide trailer bathrooms with Drano, Miracle Gro, canned biscuits and Sudafed in their kid’s Sponge Bob sippy cups. This all seems a little too glorified to me. These women have perfect smokey eyes and more than 4 teeth. I’m not hating, I’m just saying.
The do look great and it looks like they had a blast filming the video…and Holler Annie has especially never looked better…but I am thinking realistically being “white trash” doesn’t appear to be this much fun when you are an alcoholic drug addict and breathing with an Oxygen tank .

I agree with you. Most of the women who smoke,drink, and take pills are the ppl of walmart/methheads in my hometown too.
Atleast its not one woman smoking, drinking, and taking pills. Each has their own “addiction”, like most of the big old names in country had or I’m sure some names in country still do have.
I would hate this song if Carrie or Taylor sang it, but I believe that the Annies really do drink, smoke or take pills.
I would take the “pill poppin” Pistol Annies over Taylor Swift singing about some boy or Carrie Underpants anyday.
I agree.
“If she smokes, she pokes”
So many glorious accessories! Once I saw those fringe boots I couldn’t think about anything else…
There is a huge drug problem in the Appalachian region and the last thing that Kentucky and Tennessee needs is a song that glorifies drug & alcohol abuse. What is glamorous and upbeat about talking about something that can destroy you and your family’s lives?
Plus I honestly cannot picture Miranda or any of the girls actually going on a tour in a Volkswagen bus. Hell Miranda complained on that her big mega dollar deluxe bus was broke down or didn’t have air conditioning. How about riding around like when Loretta Lynn or Patsy Cline was hot on the scene? If you think about it, the song insinuates (however that is spelled) that girls in a band are nothing but trouble. Talk about a big insult to those singers in the past, present, and future who are making an honest living in a beat up van trying to get their song heard.
I have yet seen a drug addict or alcoholic have that much accessories and makeup or belongings. Most would pawn that shit for more meth.
Finaly – Am I the only one that wished Pistol Annies was truly Angaleena Presley as lead artist and the others backup singers?
Yes, you are the only one who wished Angelina was the lead. She isn’t that great, but more importantly she isn’t hot enough. No one wants to throw it in that. But everyone dreams about wrestling with Miranda. You know how freaky she probably us? You know she takes it pretty much any way, and she is still a dirty hot fatty.
