A couple months back, I posted the Kanye West video for “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” on the site, mentioning that the musician Bonnie “Prince” Billy (nee Will Oldham) joins comedian Zach Galifianakis in chicanery that is VERY NOT SAFE FOR WORK DUE TO KANYE WEST-LIKE LANGUAGE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

The Save Kentucky’s Hemlocks Society has enlisted Billy for a benefit, happening on November 21st, at the Old Tarr Distillery in Lexington, Kentucky, in which all proceeds will go to the society.
