It's always the people that claim to hate country music that also say such moronic things as, "Kanye West and Eminem are genius musicians!!" or that bands like Tool and Nine Inch Nails are "things of beauty and genius!"
All absolute horseshit. I can appreciate some minor muscial qualities in everyone I mentioned above, but by and large there ain't a great deal of quality in any of them and today's audiences love this crap.
Let us not forget the shit smear of pussy emo-kids and their little twat bands.....garbage.
Oh, but of course everyone loves Johnny Cash, George Jones and Willie Nelson......all horseshit spewed out because it's "in" to love these guys. Me, I actually own some of their albums...have for years, but I don't consider them brilliant muscians....they have a few tunes I like. I ain't ever driven by someone's car and heard them cranking tunes from any of them....again, it's bullshit.
Don't even get me started on hip-hop......again I like a few tunes here and there, but the vast majority is utter garbage and filth void of any musicality whatsofuckinever.
