While on somebodys hold system for an extended period of time and thus forced to listen to real country music, I amused myself by trying to find some merit in it. Here is what I came up with.

1. As a country singer or listener you can drop a few letters from the alphabet - like g and h; for example: "she is givin' me 'eartaches".

2. Grammar also becomes completely irrelevant as in: "she ain't doin' me no good".

3. Punctuation and sentence structure also gets the flick: "Shes a hard drivin' ordinairy one legged sweet lovin' woman and' ah'm gonna' make her mine one day if I ever get off'n this 'ere porch"

4. You can lose yer dawg, job, truck an' yer woman all in one day and still sing about it.

5. You get to wear silly hats.

6. Tight black jeans become almost acceptable in public.

7. You'll know where Texas is.

8. You can drive an F-Series truck (maybe that isn't a positive).

9. If you play the music backwards there are no Satanic messages - all that happens is you get your woman back, your job back, your dawg back etc.

10. You only need to know three guitar chords and everything is played at the same tempo.

Now I rememebr why I gave up playing when the band turned country!!

Cheers
Russ

I drove through it a few years ago - crossed the bridge from down south going north and thought "Texas don't seem so big to me..."

LOL...

And acutally I was coming back from Tamworth during country music week - but I was there for a 21st, not the music..

Russ. Try living with country music mad parents (ok so they don't go to Tamworth every year....but they play enough of the hopeless attempt at music to make it seem as though Tamworth is actually Walla)

I am glad that I never hear it anymore...unless bloody Kasey Chambers comes on the radio...singing blatant country music that radio executives think is modern, good music. Aaarrrggghhh.
