Any Country Music Fans Here? - GoFuckYourself.com

When I was in in my 20's I thought country music was stupid. Now in my "over the hump" years, I see those country & western music writers know more than I ever could imagine.

Drunk - yes
Divorced - almost
Love My Country - absolutely
Wear A Cowboy Hat - no way
Boner For Hot Country Chicks - always

I like George Straight, Sugarland, The Judds (not the fat one), Johnny Cash (Folsom Prison Blues is awesome), and yes, I like those gay Swan Brothers from "The Voice".

Play it backwards and you can get your dog back, your truck back, your boat back and your pride back. But don't play too much of it backwards or you'll get your fucking wife back.

I've been on a Jamey Johnson kick lately. That guy is amazing.

Not a fan of all country, especially new country, but there are a handful of artists (mostly older) I really like.

Listening to this right now...

I too always used to think it was shit, now I am not still convinced totally, but am dipping my toes into bluegrass and am loving The Punch Brothers since I saw them at a festival last year.

and I dig Larkin Poe too, also amazing live.

George Straight, Brad Paisley etc...

(BTW the country players are much better players as a group)

I like country with a more traditional folksy/rootsy feel.

Like these guys:

I am a big fan of folk music, which has a rich leftist tradition, but I'm considerably less into country music, especially pop country music, particularly since it so often has a conservative message.

With that said, I enjoy Willie Nelson, and various other country artists, and appreciate it when country performers break the conservative stereotype mold:

Living in the Wasteland (of the free)...

We got preachers dealing in politics and diamond mines
and their speech is growing increasingly unkind
They say they are Christ's disciples
but they don't look like Jesus to me
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We got politicians running races on corporate cash
Now don't tell me they don't turn around and kiss them peoples' ass
You may call me old-fashioned
but that don't fit my picture of a true democracy
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We got CEO's making two hundred times the workers' pay
but they'll fight like hell against raising the minimum wage
and If you don't like it, mister, they'll ship your job
to some third-world country 'cross the sea
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

Living in the wasteland of the free
where the poor have now become the enemy
Let's blame our troubles on the weak ones
Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy
Living in the wasteland of the free

We got little kids with guns fighting inner city wars
So what do we do, we put these little kids behind prison doors
and we call ourselves the advanced civilization
that sounds like crap to me
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We got high-school kids running 'round in Calvin Klein and Guess
who cannot pass a sixth-grade reading test
but if you ask them, they can tell you
the name of every crotch on MTV
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We kill for oil, then we throw a party when we win
Some guy refuses to fight, and we call that the sin
but he's standing up for what he believes in
and that seems pretty damned American to me
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

Living in the wasteland of the free
where the poor have now become the enemy
Let's blame our troubles on the weak ones
Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy
Living in the wasteland of the free

While we sit gloating in our greatness
justice is sinking to the bottom of the sea
Living in the wasteland of the free
Living in the wasteland of the free
Living in the wasteland of the free

It was a terrible day. Two music lovers were being held hostage and both were going to be shot. One of them was a country music lover and the other enjoyed all types of music.

Before they were shot they were asked for one last request before they died.

The country music lover said, "I would like to listen to 'Achy Breaky Heart' 50 times in a row."

The other music lover said, "Please, shoot me first."
