Nashville country blows so hard right now. Every song is:
In my truck
Dirt roads
Getting drunk/high
Really hot girl
Really hot girl doing hot things
It's like one guy is writing all the songs. And he sucks at writing songs. And then sometimes there's rapping or dub beats. There's nothing original, no songs that actually have a story or anything. It's trash. What's sad is if you find a small time act and listen to them the moment they sign in Nashville their next cd will sound like that.
The fact that Big & Rich have made a single dollar playing music is pretty much indicative of where we stand as a society.I went to the country music festival thing at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City a few weeks back. It was a charity event, but my god do I wish I could have my $45 back. Between Big & Rich fellating the flag and whoever the hell else played, I had 8 tallboys and still wasn't drunk enough to bear it.
