About 3 hours ago I promised to prepare a blog post summarizing my opinions on country music.
Country Music Sucks.
But to be clear, country music didn't always suck. The origins of country music did not suck. Bluegrass rocks. Johnny Cash rocks
I blame Mr. Elvis Presley. OK, maybe not blame, but I put him as the focal point. He was the point where country and rock diverged. After him country music became sort of it's own thing, but not really. It always seemed to parallel the developments of rock, but yet seemed determined to be defined as separate. This creates an identity crisis worthy of your average emo kid. While rock music continually developed new moves in genre, country simply moves along nearby, defining it's self as a more "down to earth" alternative to the mainstream of rock, while still it's stars live the same extravagant lifestyle.
I guarantee you Big n' Rich never shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
That's all for now, have a nice day
