Country is an acquired taste, I think.

I like Madonna, Seal and Alanis Morissette. Michael Jackson, Salt n Pepa, TLC and some Boys 2 Men. New Kids on the Block is my boyband of choice.
But I don't like country. It's down at the bottom with mariachi and disco with my musical likes.

I'm so old I remember when you could buy ripe fruit at the store. Nowadays the peaches and pears are harder than rocks.

Not at our farmer's market. We avoid store-bought fruit whenever possible.

And I win because I'm caught up on checkbook balancing and everything is in balance.

Country, reggae and opera.

The aubergine, turnip and parsnip of music.

And by the way, if you want to look at what has stirred up controversy in country music:

The 18 most controversial songs in country music history​

Blink and you'll miss it, but one of the lyrics to this 2002 Tim McGraw song tells the story of a young woman that chooses to have an abortion without regrets. Some radio stations refused to play the song, but "Red Ragtop" endures thanks to a recent explosion of popularity on TikTok.
...
For country radio, the lyric "kiss lots of boys, or kiss lots of girls if that's what you're into" was still a little too controversial in 2013, when Kacey Musgraves released "Follow Your Arrow." The song was criticized for its support of the LGBTQ+ community, but that didn't stop it from selling more than one million copies, earning the song a Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Academy of America.

Still can here. Under ripe produce is a no,no.

Fruit or veg of the moment is a big thing, i.e.what the chef has determined is perfectly ripe today.

My eyes are beginning to close on their own, it's a secret code that tells me I'm tired and i need of some nap time. So I'll say goodnight, see y'all tomorrow.

You realize, of course, that you are tempting @ChristineM possibly beyond her ability to restist temptation.
