After reading the last few pages, holy shit it's a good thing I'm not a country music fan. Pop country is the one genre of music I truly dislike, but I can ignore it, so I don't have to think about it. If I was a true country music fan and had to rub shoulders with fellow 'country music fans' who consider pop country 'real' country music and didn't have any appreciation for the pioneers? There'd be violence.
There's different kinds of country. Hillbilly Country when you're getting your ass kicked by sodomites with no teeth. Cowboy Country is for when you're getting your ass kicked by guys in huge hats and snap-button shirts. Folk Country is for when you're getting your ass kicked by a lesbian from South Dakota. Pop Country is when you're getting your ass kicked by closeted gay men in shiny ribbed shirts.
Wooooo!!! Mechanical bull, alright! Kidding, I think my mechanical bull-riding days are over. I'll be doing the filming next year. It actually kind of sucked. Do they do line-dancing anymore? I was not sucky at it. One time a guy asked me to dance to a couple line dance thing. Never did it before, told him that, he didn't care, so I went out there...and did mediocre at it if I do say so myself. I think that's a win in my book! And shimmered--I've never heard of that song and I listen to country occasionally. It is awful. People like that? Do you have a cup or bottle handy? Obviously bottle is much tougher, but that's what we did when we were kids. Because we weren't stopping for ANY reason when my dad was on the road. Unless of course, it was for him. Actually, that's where I listened to a lot of country growing up. Vacation road trips.
Where ever white people go to dance, there is line dancing. The Wobble is about the dumbest goddamn thing. There's a tavern by my house - I mentioned it before. They love me for playing Hank and Willie and company. There's a club back home that plays pop country, it's a meat market. I like people watching there - but it can be overwhelming. Especially if someone tries to drag me on the floor to do line dancing. I like dancing, and the more skilled my partner is at leading the better. I'll spin and flip, if a person knows how to do it. And I know them. Trakiel - as with any genre the purists hate the mainstream crossovers...but in this case...the music REALLY IS SHIT. It's the banjo version of teen pop and it's awful. If any of you don't mind Aaron Watson - his "Here's my contribution to ruining country music" is amazingly tongue in cheek. I want a whole pan full of roasted brussels sprouts for dinner. Now plz.
I'm off work for the next 10 days, my birthday is Sunday, I'm taking the kids to the zoo tomorrow, I got my hair done today, and I just cracked open an O'Fallon Wheach beer. No complaints here! I'll jump on the current country-pop hate. It makes me sad. Especially Blake Shelton. He used to be a funny son of a bitch with good music (remember Old Red?) now he comes out with shit like Honey Bee and Boy's 'Round Here. What a waste.
"boys 'round here" is a great way for me to take over the jukebox and spend 30 dollars playing "Walk The Dinosaur" for the next song over and over again.
They used to play that about once an hour on the local radio station (yes I said THE local radio station, I live in the sticks, okay?!) I don't listen to that station for that reason but the guys at work do and I was about the stick a pen in my ear by about the fourth time that day. Worst. Song. Ever. Just checked, Ol' Red holds up. I'm not sure if it's just the nostalgia or not but I still love it: P.S. On the other hand, I don't love Blake with long hair.
Too bad... his Blue Note sessions are what catapulted David Weiss to fame long before he ever mixed it up with Jan Hammer.
Yeahhhh. That's nostalgia. Ol' Red is cheesy. I don't mind all of the rural pop. As far as it goes - Shelton is most tolerable. Fuck I'm old. However. Dubstep. No. God no. I hate it.
The only thing I like about Dubstep is that it is sooooooo easy to manipulate and look like a star while playing it. Other than that 90% of it sounds like an amp being smashed in a pile driver.
I don't even know what dubstep is. I'm okay with that. My beer is empty. I really need to teach my daughter to bring me beer. That's a valuable life lesson if there ever was one.
My buddy taught his daughter to "go get Daddy's brown pop". I'm not saying it's an ideal parenting move, but it's a thing that was done.
The little girl that my wife and I have helped raise is 3 and a half now and can get me a "silver coke". It's the only reason I am trying to have one of my own.
