Even though the house killed the financial bailout bill yesterday, Brian Wilson proceeded with the announcement of an upcoming tour that will see him performing That Lucky Old Sun (TMT Review), plus other tunes, in its entirety. The announcement is being seen on both sides of the aisle as "terribly timed" and "unpatriotic."
"I just don't understand why Wilson has to make the announcement right now," says Jerry Brucken, financial expert. "Doesn't he know there's a financial crisis? We need to stop making tour announcements and start bailing out the filthy rich -- they have kids to feed, too, you know."
The people on main street are upset too. "This is ridiculous," says Jill Haas, some chick who has a couple loans under her name. "We have to focus all our energy and work on this bill so we can pass it in this time of panic and frenzy." Bob Range, her longtime boyfriend, added: "Okay, okay, we're using socialism to bailout capitalism. But just this once, okay? Like McCain and Obama, I have faith in the free market."
Here's a video of Ralph Nader on the financial bailout bill, which, if you use a little creativity, sorta kinda implies why he might think Brian Wilson's decision to schedule a tour was a bad political move.
