Comedian and social critic Dennis Leary – star of the cable series Rescue Me — returns to form in the most sardonic of ways with this new video now making the rounds on Youtube.
The music video — published in early July — adopts a ‘brat pack’ era, swing sound/style to propel Leary’s (surprisingly well sung) biting mockery of the current American do-nothing-about-climate-change mentality. It also manages to make a public service announcement to boot!
Leary, a long-time smoker, and most lately the featured actor on a TV drama about putting out fires (mostly, lot’s of sex too), has apparently had enough with pollution, or at least, with his fellow countrymen not giving a damn while the world around them succumbs to one eco-disaster after another…
WARNING: The video contains some very FOUL language (as we wold expect from Leary — unless you’ve never heard his stand-up shtick)…ENJOY!
Dennis Leary sings “Kiss My Ass!’
