I’m not sure y’all are grokking the significance of Andy Williams. To many of you young’uns he’s probably just a boring old fart, but if I might try to correlate the big picture:

Kanye : Obama supporters :: Andy Williams : Tea Party

Despite his association with those Democratic candidates, Williams later said he was a lifelong Republican.[16] In 2009 he was quoted by the Daily Telegraph as accusing President Barack Obama of “following Marxist theory” and “wanting the country to fail”.[17][18] He gave Rush Limbaugh permission to use his recording of the song “Born Free” for the theme to the “Animal Rights Update” on Limbaugh’s radio show — in which a portion of the song is then followed by gunfire — saying “Hey, it’s fine with me. I love what you’re doing with it.”

So, Andy Williams finally passed… as soon too many of the Tea Partiers will.
