i don't understand what the gesture is supposed to mean

Poliopolice, Friday, 28 March 2014 23:00 (eleven years ago)

I interpreted the gesture as meaning, "I recognize this song, and I like this song, and I couldn't possibly be any happier than am I at this moment to be here, in this room, among my friends and colleagues, about to listen to the rest of this great song that I recognize and like, all the while making eye contact with legendary entertainer Narvel Felts, the one and only, standing before me a mere twenty to thirty feet from the very chair in which I sit, comfortably, fortunate to blessed with the sound and feeling of this classic American country music."

one month passes...

straw poll: how many of the audience members literally evacuated their bowels when Martha made her 'I ain't no Polack' quip at 1:10?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QflU6Ps3cU

I love the authentic family reunion vibe in these videos. the younger/more genteel musicians are all like 'did Aunt Martha just say that!?' while Bill Carlisle (probably in his nineties at this point) is like 'ayy lmao' while Martha and the host immediately go into damage control mode, all leading up to a 50-year-old song about how much she loves Jesus.

what exactly anticipated that, er, joke, i didn't really follow

thwomp (thomp), Tuesday, 10 November 2015 01:59 (ten years ago)

afaict she had just finished a live radio performance, and she stuck around afterwards to chat with her fans. her fellow musicians were impatient to leave, and they starting whispering complaints her behind her back, prompting her Polack quip ('I'm not stupid/Polish; I know y'all are talking about me'). but really she was just looking for an excuse to drop a racist joke in semi-polite company.
