Johnny Cash not being on the right side of this meme should be criminal.
Well, you wonder why
I always dress in black
Why you never see
Bright colors on my back
And why does my appearance
Seem to have a somber tone?
Well, there’s a reason for the things
That I have on
I wear the black
For the poor and the beaten down
Livin’ in the hopeless
Hungry side of town
I wear it for the prisoner
Who has long paid for his crime
But is there because
He’s a victim of the timesTry meeting a girl like that in a small town.
challenge accepted! finally a reason to visit a small town!
I’m with her.
u wish.
After 9/11, Country turned from “we are working people” to “My Dad’s an oil tycoon and I love the US”.
that was around the same time local radio collapsed and I heart radio and other conglomerates took over. not long after media ownership rules changed. I don’t think it was the artists who changed.
This is where a lot of Americana music comes in … the online station Americana Boogie Radio has lots of defiant working class songs on it’s playlist :-)
Yeah, that’s a good one.
Boot Liquor on SomaFM is full of working people music, with an emphasis on the drinkin and dyin side of the genre.
Who are her artists?
Anne Feeney, Woody Guthrie, and Pete Seeger.
Great knowledge
The girl’s musicians are folk, not country. That’s kind of the main purpose of the distinction.
Thank you, thanks especially for saving me two paragraphs of rant.
Country music is the lowest form of “art” on the planet. Braindead flag-waving bullshit.
someone never listened to country before
That’s like saying I’m an atheist because I haven’t read the bible. 🙄
you sound like those 60 year old boomers calling rap music gangster crap 😂 thats who you want to emulate? really?
Sure thing, kiddo. Do your parents know you’re making stupid arguments on the internet?
talking to yourself eh? what a weirdo 😂
Username does not check out.
I hooked up with someone who had her radio set to country music and heard these lyrics three our four times within a few days (the theme was if the singer had a million dollars):
I would buy a boat. I would buy a truck to pull it.
If that isn’t braindead, I don’t know what is.
No, he is right. Listening to it proves it.
listening to marty robbins proves its terrible? do you realise how stupid that sounds? or johnny cash? or waylen jennings? or sturgill simpson? i can go on and on about how wrong you are
There’s food country music. Most of Stevie nicks for example.
Also there’s blue grass which is what most people think country should be before they listen to the modern mainstream crap.
There are two types of country artists. One will help you hide a body and run from the cops. The other will call you a slur.
