What the heck is the point behind any country song?

When a country artist wishes to compose a song they always choose from one of these 5 topics:

1. Beer
2. Trucks
3. Trucks and bars
4. Women, trucks and bars
5. Getting dumped, trucks, and beer

There is no point in it. My golf coach loves country music, I have to listen to it every day in class and every time we go on a tourney trip...I talk as loud as I can and listen to my CD player as much as possible to keep from going insane.

To make all this worse...the accents and lack of musical talent. The worst one about it is Willy Nelson. He is the most musically illiterate person I have ever heard. He cant sing, or write music, and HE SURE AS HECK CANT WRITE LYRICS! What is up with "Whiskey for my men and beer for my horses"???...If you gave a horse beer it would die or get sick or something to that nature.

You've gotta be drunk to like, write, or listen to coutry music.



And that is my rant on country music. :rant2:

ALL Sad?

CMT Top 8....

Toby Keith
"Whiskey Girl" NOT

Keith Urban
"You'll Think of Me"

Kenny Chesney and Uncle Kracker
"When the Sun Goes Down" NOT

Shania Twain
"It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing"

Reba McEntire
"Somebody" NOT

Kenny Chesney
"Live Those Songs-Live" NOT

Gretchen Wilson
"Redneck Woman" NOT

Josh Turner
"Long Black Train" Not if you listen to the message...

I am not a big fan of ANY kind of music that is slow.... I listen to a lot of different types of music... to say that ALL Country is sad is like saying ALL of any other kind of music is about drugs or killing people....

Generalizing is never good...

[da wiz]

guess what, i aint even trying to be concerned with no cmt top 8, i listen
to a LITTLE of all styles of music, and when i turn on 99.5 the wolf, in
dfw, most of the time im listening to a SAD song, thanks for the list
though, BRO... and if i want to GENERALIZE,,,, so be it.......

also, who died and made you a CRITIC ???????

[MrHawk2U]

If you can be a music critic....(your quote "it makes me sad as hell,,,, all the songs have a sad story,,,,")

And this is a bulletin board...

I guess THAT makes me a critic...


So if you want to generalize.... I will correct you!!!

awww...there goes another sharp stick

[Jaymze13]

I like what is called "classic" C&W. Stuff from between the 20's to the early 70's. I have little to no use for modern country. I don't like Shania, I'm not big on Garth and I especially have no use for the Chicks.

I like a handful of modern country songs like anything Charlie Daniels does and a few hear and there (I consider the CDB more southern rock than country ).

I'm a big fan of Hank Sr and Johnny Cash.

Beyond that, I think Coyote has a pretty legit gripe about C&W.

hawk, you are not worthy of correcting me on any level, what is your problem,
do you have a personal vendetta against me or something???? you never
said a thing about Coyotegolf07' original post, he had more negative things
to say about country music than i did,, and you jump on me????
i noticed you hadnt did any posting the last few days until today,,
where you been?? wheverever it is why dont you go back there,,,
we will all be better off without you IMO....

[Jaymze13]

I love CDB too. To me, he can do little, if no wrong.

[rogkiss]

Try listening to 95.9 It is not just country or rock. It is Texan.

This from a guy who thinks being a music critic brings CONTENT to the board....

Whiz ... I don't have a problem with you...

I pointed out a flaw in your logic and you took offense...

Give me a break...

When have I ever "attacked" any of your posts...

A bit thin skinned this week!!!

Take a chill pill!!!

Remember.... EVERYBODY has a right to post their opinion here... NOT just you!!!

[Jaymze13]

Try listening to 95.9 It is not just country or rock. It is Texan.

I like 92.1 for the most part.

Unless they've finally moved, I know were 95.9 was broadcasting from here in Weatheford. They used to irk me and my wife a little. They used to do all this big talk and advertising about how they were the "newest station in Fort Worth". I would hear that and go, "no, you're the newest station in Weatherford down on Santa Fe across from Texas Bank and down the road from the college."

When they started this "newest in Fort Worth" promo, they were in the process of moving to Fort Worth, so they might be there by now, but for the longest time, they were still broadcasting from the middle of Parker County, not Tarrant.

And that is my rant on country music. :rant2:

Coyote it's true that country music does now and historically has been slanted towards gut wrenching, home breaking ballads. I didn't grow up with it, but I have grown to like some of it. Songs like:

Front Porch looking in -Lonestar
Walking in Memphis- Lonestar
The Angry American-Toby Keith
Wanna Talk about me-Toby keith
How Do you Like me now-Toby keith
God Bless Texas- Little Texas
Amarillo By Morning-George Strait
and some songs by Rascal Flatts, Faith Hill, etc,

I don't like the "crying about rain", etc, but I feel most of the performers are a little closer to real people (ie.you and me) than most of the hip hop or dance stuff that plasters the airwaves these days.

[rogkiss]

I like 95.9 cause it plays a variety. Also it makes a statement, and yes I do wear my cowboy hat almost daily.

I like my country but I also like my rock-n-roll as well.

[MrHawk2U]

NO

Your logic was flawed in the line "ALL the songs have a sad story"

I showed you several that did not....

Proving your theory that ALL Country Songs are sad.... invalid.

[da wiz]

okay, then let me REPHRASE my sentece,,, most of, not all of the songs,
that i have heard were sad, key word being MOST,,,, also i do not listen on a
daily basis, which may hinder my opportunity to hear the not-sad songs,,,


so again MOST of the songs THAT I have heard made me sad,,,,,,

hopefully that will bring this to an end...........
