I guess whoever designs that brand of shit-music thinks folks who listen to country music are stupid. I think it's more like people who just blindly accept the canned crap fed to them on commercial radio need to adust their brains a little bit and watch out for added doses of fake patriotism and Bill O'Reilly-style crapola.<BR/><BR/>Too bad about the "you're pussy" arguments and country music. There is so much cool stuff out there in the country realm, and it's just getting a bad name cuz crap like an Alan Jackson Xxxmasss.CW Spec Collhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02567683805141940226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17291101.post-1135936716228914522005-12-30T02:58:00.000-07:002005-12-30T02:58:00.000-07:00we should follow suit and ban western music here i...we should follow suit and ban western music here in the usa. er, i mean country western music, er, i mean "new country" (not to be confused with the good stuff).<BR/><BR/>had the unfortunate experience of witnessing an "alan jackson's christmas special" on the cable country music channel. all the sickening plastic smiles and boring whiteness of the worst of anything on the lawrence welk show ca. 1965, proving that bushco and the evangelicals have suceeded in resurrecting most elements of 50's mundane mindcontrol. reagan would be proud though hank williams is rolling in his grave. hell, even hank jr. is probably upchucking his pabst.<BR/><BR/>how is that crap somehow a political pawn, that so called pickup-truck driving confederate flag sticker voting block that became an issue when howard dean made reference to it on the campaign trail? how did NASCAR suddenly become so popular with politcal candidates scrambling for photo ops in the grandstands? (one can only hope for a replay of indy 1973 and a wheel or two and flaming fuel into the stands...).<BR/><BR/>its just the ongoing "anti-intellectualism" (bill hicks) gripping the nation...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
