Country music star sings about ‘Beer With Jesus’ on Fox News

“I like this title, ‘Beer With Jesus,’” Fox & Friends host Gretchen Carlson told Rhett. “What is it about?”

As it turns out, “Beer With Jesus” is about having a brewski with the Christian savior, Jesus of Nazareth.

“If I could have a beer with Jesus / Heaven knows I’d sip it nice and slow / I’d try to pick a place that ain’t too crowded / Or gladly go wherever he wants to go,” Rhett sings.

“You can bet I’d order up a couple tall ones / Tell the waitress put ‘em on my tab / I’d be sure to let him do the talkin’ / Careful when I got the chance to ask,” the song continues.

“He can probably only stay, for just a couple rounds,” the song concludes. “But I hope and pray he’s stayin’ till we shut the whole place down.”


. . . oh, my.

in Latin America that bear the same name as the Christians follow.

Very sly, very funny.

I don't know if I'd 'close down the club' with Jesus . . . but if we were having a good time, I'd consider it.

There's not that many safe establishments for a long-haired man who wears sandals and a dress. This is not an indictment of him or his wardrobe, but if we go to a more friendly place, I'll have to walk further to get home. And that's assuming the bartender doesn't assume he's a homeless street preacher and throw his out immediately.

What could we talk about? I speak neither Aramaic nor Hebrew (although I can cuss in Yiddish fairly fluently).

Assuming he could speak English, what would we talk about? Same old stories, that's what.
"Did you hear about the time I TOTALLY resurrected that one dude?"
"Yes, Jesus, about a million times."
"Well I'm gonna tell it anyway, 'cause maybe not everyone has heard it before. Okay, there was this dude named Lazarus. Not the demon-possessed Lazarus, but another dude with the same name..."

Does he have his green card? Is he even allowed to be in this country legally? Could I get arrested for harboring an illegal alien? Is that arrest warrant for him in Rome still valid?

He turned water into wine, not beer. That means we'd have to pay for the beer, and I've read the Bible: that guy never paid for jack squat (hence Judas's dalliance with a 20-silvers-an-hour side job), which means I'd get stuck with the tab. I would consider tipping in shekels, though.

Oh, I'd like to buy the Lord a smoothie
Down at the local gym
We'd drink them then go bench press
He'd spot me, and I would spot him

THAT'S as good as any country music song these days. Where's my fuckin' CMA?

I mean sure, Jesus could be an "I love you man!" drunk. Hugging folks and curing their illnesses.

But what if Jesus is an angry drunk?

Pillars of fire? Bowling ball sized Hail? A Mini-rapture?

Sounds kind of risky.

So he can ask them why, if they claim to love him so much, they ignore every single thing he had to say.

The Alou brothers, Jesus, Matty and Felipe, with the San Francisco Giants in the early 1960s. They were the first brothers to play in the same outfield in the same game.

Mon Mar 4, 2013, 04:34 PM
Mar 2013

"If I weave around at night
And the police think I'm tight
They'll never find my bottle
Though they ask;

Plastic Jesus shelters me
For His head comes off you see
He's hollow an I use Him
As a flask."
