OK, we are off to the Buttered Biscuit to get a wholesome, down home, country breakfast.

Then take a ride (no it's NOT raining today - not yet) in my freshly shine & show wanna be wax job.

mrs humfrz ain't looking much forward to either one ......

"She ain't much fun since I quit drinken"

Maybe I'll dial up the XM country music station on the radio ....... and push her right over the edge .......

The song has never been the same since.

But at least I'm employed that's all it matters.

I had to change countries to find a job ...

I used to feel the same way about country music, but I've changed my mind in the past 20 years. At least, usually, there's a melody, a bit of a story, and not a lot of angry people screaming obscenities. Those three qualities, right there, put it above 99% of the other garbage on the radio.

Got a question...if "indie" rock is so blazingly independent, why does it all sound the same....like some 20 somethings getting together in their garage with a couple out of tune guitars and crappy Behringer gear, whining about how lame everyone else is?

So the big question is; who is the 0.15467936 artist? Korn?

Country music and I have had a long love/hate relationship. Most of "today's Country" is really Pop with a bit of a twang or Southern flair, but like you said, at least it still has some level of story and meaning behind it. I also like a lot of the more traditional Country/Western stuff from the 50's and 60's (that @Tcoat probably distains). I do go for periods though where I have to go back to other genres for a while.

Isn't that pretty much true with anything that is "indie"? Hippies were counter-culture, yet they were all the same. Hipsters do this, ironically. Biker gangs, thugs, they are all standard within their non-standards.

Once something gets big enough to get a name, its no longer unique.

I dunno man...
I miss the days of 90s alternative/rock. I don't really like any of this "new" indie stuff.

Like some don't like others. At least it ain't country!

From one old fart to another:

Complaining about how current music is not as good as the older stuff is the first step towards yelling:

"Get off my lawn"
