Default Re: I'm A Little Bit Country

Dravyk...I know how you feel. I couldn't sleep one night, so I got up and flicked on the television and caught the tail end of a repeat of the Tonight show. A band called "Sugarland" was performing, and they just blew me away. (I had to check the cable guide to get the band name.) So...to my disbelief, really...I bought their CD. Love it. I hadn't bought a country cd since I got Alabama's greatest hits about 100 years ago. Sugarland has some very talented people.

Country has changed a lot. It used to be that an hours exposure to a country music channel and I'd want to slit my wrists. The songs were just so damned depressing. Now, the stuff on the alleged "rock" channel is the stuff that's so damned depressing.

I avoid rap like the plague. I tried to get into it and give it a fair shot, because I'm a word freak, and I assumed rap was all about use of the language. I was disabused of that notion quickly. The only rap I can actually stand is the silly Will Smith stuff that "real" rap fans think is stupid.
