    Default Country music

    Does any one listen or am I the lone man
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I'm sorry Anthony...

    I hate country music. I just can't stand it.

    Listen to some Metallica, Godsmack or Rage Against the Machine

    Hey, I got a soccer tournament in Austin this weekend. I may call you later...

    If you call Steve Earle, Townes van Zandt, The Peacemakers, and such alt-country ilk country then I'm a hard rockin' country music nut. But if you call country the stuff that comes from Nashville(you know the pop with a twang), then I hate country like a guy with a knife to my balls.

    We're going to expand your horizons!

    If you like David Allan Coe and Hank Williams Sr. then you will probably like Townes Van Zandt. Maybe not. What about Robert Earle Kean? You can go see him play live in his hometown just NW of you in Kerrville all the time. Maybe some Willis Allan Ramsey? The Flatlanders, or their individual efforts as Joe Ely, Butch Hancock and Jimmy Dale Gilmore?

    Depends on what you call country. Shania Twain sounds and looks great So does LeAnn Rimes. Theres some really hot country women now days. Also old groups like the Everly Bros were sort of country. I also have to admit I love the country music show Nashville Star. Some really talented people there and the girl that one last time is another hottie.



    She did a great version of Black Velvet on the show.

    OOoooo. Sorry. No.

    Not my scene, really. That said, I've managed to see Ms. Dolly, Willie Nelson, Reba, and Johnny Cash in concert. They were all great shows. I just don't follow country music, own any country music, or listen to it on the radio. I guess the vibe doesn't speak to me, but I appreciate the great performers.

    I like bluegrass. I like newgrass. I like real country, such as Doc Watson. I like singer songwriters like the late Townes Van Zandt. I like many different types of music which are on the fringe of what is now called "country" music, along with many other styles of music.

    But if you mean the overproduced pop music which passes for country these days, then no. Never. The mindless crap that gets played on top 40 country radio and awarded at the CMA. That isn't country music. No thanks.

    Yeah Rascal Flatts, Toby Keith, Alan Jackson, George Strait!

    I love my country music. And no, I don't think the old joke is true (about what happens if you play a song in reverse).

    And I do believe Country has the best looking women in US music
