The answer to my lamentations, cynicism's, bemoanings, etc. regarding the sorry state of popular music today (especially Country music) is so obvious that I looked right at it and didn't see it (the forest and the trees). This makes if official: I do NOT like Country music anymore (so there)! I should climb to the top of the highest mountain and shout it as loud as I can. There, I feel better already! The next thing to do is to change the above banner to something more generic. That's a shame, because someone in one of the forums that I used to participate in designed that banner for me. But all good thins must end, so here it goes. The words and initials Country, Country/Western, CW+ will no longer apply. I've found that in order to get the type of music that I prefer I have to go to Americana, Roots, Folk, Singer-songwriter, Alt-country and Bluegrass. You know, the REAL country music. I've listened to some really great music, and met some really nice people along the way. These people pour their heart and soul into every song, every note, every string that gets plucked, and I, for one, greatly appreciate their efforts. Otherwise, I'd have to listen to music that The Powers That Be tell me that I like. I'd rather decide for myself, thank you. Oh, enough ranting for now. I'm headed over to blogger to change my banner. See ya!
Same music, different name.:-)
ReplyDeleteYou need to chill man.
ReplyDeleteSorry you feel that way. I don't think there is anymore garbage to weed through today then at other times. Every era or generation has songs that make you cringe. It's just the way it is with music. There still is some good country music out there, you just need to look past the Taylor Swifts of the world.
ReplyDeletewell, you have MY support, bring on the REAL country music!!
ReplyDeleteLove the new banner.
ReplyDeleteLove the new attitude.
Hate the white print on the banner.
Keep it up.
I, too, am sorry you feel that way. While I think there is more garbage to weed through today then at other times, there still is enough worthwhile music to justify listening. Remember STURGEONS'S LAW : 90% of everything is crap. Only the good stuff from the past (or the truly hideous) is remembered and the rest is forgotten
