    Country music rocks, I never understood the hate. Bruce Springsteen Nebraska, Johnny Cash, Willie Carlisle, etc. are all great acts. I honestly see the “anything but country” crowd as a horseshoe-theory proof to the “anything but rap” boomer argument

      I actually love loads of old country and a bunch of really new country. When I talk shit like that it’s about whatever the fuck was happening with pop country in the 90s, bro country, and whatever the fuck all the rah rah 'murica shit that’s been happening since 2001.

      Willie, Waylon, Cash, Jones, Carlisle, Parton, Mandrell, Rondstadt, and Lucinda Williams are national treasures. Nebraska is one of the best albums ever released.

      On the newer side, you have folks like Childers, Amigo the Devil, Whiskey Myers, Jason Isbell, Drive By Truckers, and a bunch of others who are out there doing amazing work.

      But if someone wants to enjoy Toby Keith, Florida Georgia Line, Zach Brown, Garth Brooks, or Shania Twain that’s their business. That don’t befront me long as I get my money next Friday.
