You got that right for sure. Blech. Coming from a native Texan - It's definitely not what it used to be! "Country" today is just the name of a type of cheesy pop music. It's nothing more than a certain image the music industry pimps: uncultured & overzealous patriotism in cowboy boots. Or take a look at those "Texas Ford" truck commercials as an example -- one that turns us into a laughing stock to much of the USA. Again, it's all about the image. As for the music itself, I'd put it on the same level as a lot of that really corny "Christian rock." I only turn these "sub" genres of music on whenever I want to annoy my wife. 15 seconds is all it takes for her. However believe it or not, we can listen to real country music all day.

But I digress (again)...

Excellent. Glad to hear it.

Sometimes if I'm in the mood I throw a little bluegrass in there too.
