"Obviously this kid's parents are the liberal "worldbeat" type who probably sit in a drum circle for breakfast every morning and think they're "elightened" because they enjoy African voodoo drumming and have passed it down to their children." "It seemed he was wearing a wrist band from a hospital or something. Also, I think his shirt was on backwards. But he's got rhythm" "his father is the Maytag man" "FAKE" "Somebody get that boy a drum set. He`s got talent!" [Reply from another user]: "They can't afford one in this Obama economy" "Holy [BEEP]!"
