Country Music

I’m back from going to Ottawa for the long weekend and one of the latest things on my mind has to do with country music. I listened to quite a bit of it both on the way there and back and, well, I must say that I had been a bit unfair to it in the past. I used to completely dismiss it but here’s a couple of things for which I give it credit:

1. Generally wholesome lyrics. None of the “I hate the world” or “I want to kill my parents” or “I want to have sex with a billion girls” or “Look and see how rich I am” business.

2. Audible lyrics. While there are times where I like listening to really loud music and scream my face off, it’s also nice to know what people are saying/singing.

There’s something left to be said about the instrumental side of country music but, all in all, I think I’ve become a whole lot less intolerant towards it. (Shanna, Hannah, Sue, Patricia: I bet you can’t believe I just wrote that, huh? :P)

Anyhow, there’s much to do this evening so I’ll keep this one relatively short. I hope that all of you had a most excellent weekend!
