whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

You know, country music really isn't that bad.

I couldn't listen to it all the time, but when I come home to visit in Tucson, I end up hearing a LOT of country, since my mom and brother have started listening to it in the last few years.

Honestly, it's really entertaining a lot of the time. Most of the songs are stories with a catchy tune, and the stories and/or sentiments are pretty good. A lot of them are about drinking, or women, but you also get some good tales.

And I know a lot of people were up in arms about that Toby Keith song with the "we'll put a boot in your ass" line, but if you listen to the whole song, I like it. I'm glad that we still have a section of the American public that isn't a bunch of whiny shitheads, who actually get angry when someone attacks us. Thank god for those people. I get so used to living with the spoiled assholes in California that I forget that we have a large section of the American public who haven't accepted political correctness, and have held onto the spirit that is the heart of what makes this nation great. I need to remember to leave California more often. Or just move. Soon.

Granted, I've had about enough of it now. Like any genre, they have about 15 songs that they play over and over again. I'm looking forward to getting back to my MP3 collection and listening to some Radiohead, Four Tet, and Amon Tobin.
