The Story of everyone's favorite, Sweet Tea

He counts among his fans churchgoers and hipster. He has been written up on national blogs devoted to outsider and novelty music. But Meade Skelton is just a man with sincere songs to sing, like this happy little country-politan ballad about the joys of drinking a glass of that good ‘ole sweet tea. Skelton says he got the idea riding his bike at night through Monroe Park. “It was actually there that my father proposed to my mother in the summer of 1959 — after viewing ‘North By Northwest’ at Loew’s theater downtown,” he recounts. “And it happened under a magnolia tree. The song is basically about taking life sweeter and slower, enjoying your sweet tea with those that are closest to you and not worrying about the past or future, but living fully in moment.” The song was released as a 7-inch single in 2009 and more recently on his latest full-length album, “Meade Music.” Skelton adds that it’s a fan favorite and “a national anthem for Southerners.”

"100% not Meade"is at it again. Vacuuming off some long forgotten blurb from years ago and presenting it as if it still has relevance today.

This is a great example of "the exception that proves the rule". He needs to go back this and one or two other positive things from more than a decade ago BECAUSE THAT IS ALL HE has and shows that people aren't saying positive things about his music.

We all know what people have been saying about him and his music lately.

"Meade Skelton is an outsider musician from Richmond, Virginia whose album "They Can't Keep Me Down" mostly deals with his struggles with weight, and how no-one likes him, e.g.: "I Love To Eat (And It Shows)" and "It's Hard To Love Yourself (When Everybody Hates You)". He feels left out of the music world, loves mom and God, and doesn't like sleazy, degenerate rock 'n' rollers or too-cool hipsters (e.g.: the song "Proud To Be A Square"). His lightweight electric piano-driven songs lean towards the slick, commercial side of country music, and when he stays within his vocal range, he actually has an okay voice, tho hardly worthy of his own Elvis and Sinatra comparisons. Trouble is, he doesn't always stick to his range."


This was written in 2012 just a few weeks before "Chicken at Krogers" when Meade's bigotry was on the "down low". No one could unring his racist bell after that.

While "Sweet Tea" is good, his later re-recording of it, "No Sweet Tea for Niggers" really leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Also not a fan of his other hits such as "I Like to Cornhole Little Boys," "You Fucking Nigger, It's Going Out the Window," "Hambeast Harmony," "Lazy Poo Munching Sunday Morning," "Why Does my Ass Itch and My Finger Stink?" "I Cry When I Touch Myself," "Don't Touch Me There Daddy," "Rum Tum Tiddly Is My Crack," and "I Sniff My Own Boogers."

chicken at Kroger's was over ten years ago.

Has there been ANY reviews of Meade's music either positive or negative?
