Don't they have their own version of country to ~~hate~~ listen to?

I'm happy because the evils of Nashville have been unleashed upon the world. No wonder everybody hates the USA

THAT is not country music.

Its twangy pop.

I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane.

Ha ha ha - I knew I'd hear from you, SB. I'd guess you favor the classics of C/W music - ie Hank, Conway, Merle, etc. Or is it the later generation of Garth, Travis, & co.? Do you realize that the pop trend of country will blend it into mainstream pop enough that our children will not know about "cry in your beer" songs? Ah, the generic bland tastes of the corporate music monster never cease grinding out crap.

When I was a kid, Mom played Marty Robbins, Johnny Horton, Oak Ridge Boys, & others so I remember the difference.

HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

I love all of it up until around 2000, when Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, TIm McGraw, etc.. starting getting popular is when i stopped listening to "popular" country music. Even old school guys like Alan Jackson and George Strait play crap now.

Theres still good stuff being put out, its just not on the radio anymore. Unless you live in Texas.

Country music is far too diverse to describe. No one music video clip is going to adequately portray all the types (unless youtube lied to me when I went to try and find one....).

We can't just listen to Hank, Buck, Merle, Waylon and Charlie all the time. Music progresses.

But don't worry, SB, the song on my playlist before Online was Mama Tried and the one that followed it was Pancho & Lefty XD

I'm happy because all my internet dropout issues should be over as of Friday - they are replacing the pole today and tomorrow.

1. Brad Paisley's Whiskey Lullabye is fantastic.
2. Austrian vodka. Pretty good. I like.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

I have come to the realization (albeit belatedly) that I shouldn't let other people's meanness and pettiness towards me get me down. I know what kind of person I am and if they want to be bitches / assholes, that's their problem and not mine.
