I hear you. I am actually fond of some of the old school country from the 1980s. The whole genre took a nose dive through the late 1990s and especially after that douche Alan Jackson made a fortune off the 9/11 tragedy.

As someone who was born in the 1960s, I have to say that I'm deeply disturbed by anything from the 1980s being described as "old school".

Which is why I absolutely fucking HATE listening to anything by Sugarland, because that bitch has the most nasal twangy voice that it can't possibly be real. I hate when my wife puts that shit on.

Wow, I wonder what Harvey Milk would have said if alive today?

I am not a country fan, but damn, this was fucking awesome.

Shit to you, not to her. Just like ABBA is shit to some, but not to me.

I hate country music in general. But I have learned music is universal and art is subjective. I can tell you this though, for most professional musicians at the top from any type of music, are not monochromatic and if you look at their library you will not see a monotone collection.

No, but the song "Horse With No Name" by America comes pretty close.

The fact that modern country music is shit is objective. Some people just refuse to accept reality.

Shitty music, but I like this guy's courage.

Regardless of lyrics, I do not think it was "shitty".

Lol. It's relative, but I wasn't exclusively referring to the 1980s ... really 1980s and previous decades. Waylon Jennings, Cash, etc.

It didn't take until the turn of the century for "country music" to turn into generic pop music. I remember how shitty it was back in the '80s when you had fake country artists like Eddie Rabbit and Kenny Rogers topping the charts. Awful, just awful. Of course, you're right about contemporary country: it is generic pop music, which is pretty much what you'd expect from a generation of recording artists whose first taste of country was probably their parents' Eagles albums. I like the old stuff that sounded like it was recorded by people who had crawled, drunk and bleeding, from at least one roadhouse -- redneck blues.

I'd like to see gay Russians put this on their pages.
