Country is a fad like pladd slacks. Its comes and goes. It has its moments.

For me it has me it's just a no. I don't listen to it, I don't play it, amd instead of Gregorian chants or tribal music it recommends to me something I just don't listen to. A love of dogs is about where the commonalities begin and end.

 

[It Aint Necessarily So]

After watching Ken Burns PBS Country Music I have a lot bigger appreciation for the genre.

Me, too. I learned a lot there. Still not much of a fan of the music per se, but the series was interesting and informative.

We had our snowbird Canadian neighbors watch it before touring Nashville last spring on their return to Canada. They've just returned to Mexico last Thursday, but we haven't gotten together yet to discuss their experience of Nashville and the Grand Ol' Opry or of the series. I recommend it to anybody, even if like me, they're not big fans of the songs themselves.

This is the link. The episode are divided into periods of time:

Well damn. Turns out my idea to wait till today to get a haircut today backfired because they are super busy.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Damn. My whole week is now all jumbled and nothing like I planned all because I didn't realize or know today is a holiday until far too late. It's not Halloween thus it's just another day.

It's not my duty to bring culture to you. But

Boooooooooring.

I think that second one was from the Late Minstrel Period.

I used to tell people who wanted me to go to recitals or a symphony as a running joke that it's not really music if it doesn't have drums and you can't tap your toe to it. I'm exaggerating a bit of course, but listen to what becomes of this song when the drums kick in at the 4:18 mark.

Ok. Me neither but....

Don't forget about tractors and beer...and scratching things with car keys. That's in there, too.

Boooooooooring.

Come in out of the tall grass, put down your spear and learn to appreciate the finer things of life. Or stay in tall grass rusting as you hug your rusting metal.

Not all classical music is enjoyable.
Some non-classical music is great.
Don't be an effete snob.

I return your gift to you.

[Revoltingest]

Not clear on your meaning.
But Mrs Revolt is away on a trip.
So I must defend myself.

The ground is damp for the first time in months

Mine, too.

I let the rain water out of the kids' pool. Its gotta be put away.

When someone insults another person, the one insulted can get angry, can get depressed etc, can reply with an insult, can accept the insult and think about it or refuse to any of those things in essence returning the insult to the insulter.

Too many choices.

Like all genres, it has good and bad. What I like best about country is the mix of funny and sad.
