I'm talking about people like Alan Jackson who either write ignorant crap about things that didn't happen to them, or songs that are essentially a commercial for a car company.

totally agree with you...The only country I will listen and happen to have all albums in The man in black Johnny Cash

Jello Biafra and Mojo Nixon made a pretty ridiculous country album together. I kind of wish Jello and Cash had done something together, but that seems unlikely.

That would have been pretty damn cool actually.

Btw...I particularly like UFOs, Big Rigs and BBQs

Does anyone like Kenny Rogers or is that just me?

No, it's just you. You and Kenny Rogers. And his tenor saxophone.

The only tune I know from him is The Gambler...and I sing it on poker night as a distraction

Jello Biafra also covered Johnny Paycheque's "Take This Job And Shove It."

Write a melody in G major using only 3 chords, have the steel guitar play in A minor, put on cowboy hat and boots, sing with gravelly voice...presto, country.

Oh forgot, you must mention a Chevy pickup in the lyrics.

It's on Bedtime for Democracy. Get it used or download it, don't buy from Manifesto Records.

OH YA...never mind...I have the freakin album...why the hell couldnt I grasp that

It is any music that makes you happy the study says.

So if it's a downer song then it doesn't count.

Who knows maybe some death metal gets you happy

I don't care how healthy it is for me, it's whiny, creepy, childish crap. Country music is only good for childrens television programming, because it's for simple minds and helps the children learn that the world has pretty shitty things.

We have a country radio station here in town (it's Alberta, and close tot he Yankee brder, I'm just thankful that it isn't the ONLY music) and they just repeat about 20 country songs oveeer and over and over again. It hasn't changed in 3 years....

I've hated country since I first heard it... When my favoutire radio station (and the only one I could get a signal of) was re-designed and turned country. God it sucked!

Which is my excuse for downloading LimeWIre and saying "Fuck the Radio".

Thanks for sticking around for the story.

I love country. It's pretty awesome.

No, and that makes them a bunch of emotional fraudsters, capitalising on other peoples' tragedy. Music should be genuine, I don't care what genre it is.

So I guess by your standards jello biafra is also a 'fraudster'. After all, he didn't write, HE COPIED Johnny Paycheck's song!

MOST singers, of all genres sing songs written or co-written by others.

As far as Allan Jacksons 'Where Were You', I would have to say that it came directly from his own personal experience, as 9/11 affected everyone in some way. Some more than others. Perhaps he KNEW someone who perished that day and was thus inspired. Regardless for his reasons, he was awarded 'Song of The Year' of ALL genres!

He didn't copy it, he covered it. This is not an uncommon thing for musicians to do. And getting back to the point, since copying songs has nothing to do with what I was talking about, Jello Biafra is ote]not capitalising on other peoples' tragedies, in fact he is vehemently against doing just that. He covered Johnny Paycheque's song out of solidarity with the working class,

Where are you going with this? That has absolutely nothing to do with capitalising on other peoples' tragedy or what's wrong with doing that.

Sure, he happens to live in the same country as the World Trade Centre existed in. That doesn't mean he was in or even anywhere near New York City when it happened.

Being awarded for emotional fraud isn't something to be proud of.
