Let's Get This Straight
I like country music. As much as anything else. I mean, music is music, and it's either pleasing or not. Plenty of good music is country music, and plenty of country music is good. But, geez, gosh, some of it is sucking sucking sucking.
You may recall a post on the B**** Blog about the musical abomination Cowboy Troy that tricked me with a catchy 15-second intro, and by second 16 I wanted to pull my fingernails off. You may also recall that I posted that Dwight Yoakam (audio warning on that link) is the real deal and as great of a musician/songwriter/singer that you can find these days.
The latest bad country music act is Big and Rich who are playing a bunch of songs on Imus this morning. Well, after the fourth song with the same three chords, at the same tempo, with the similar level of terrible lyrics, I can say that they sure do look like rock stars. Yes. They look just fine. So does the two-foot-tall man that they have wearing a fuzzy top hat. And the 20-year-old guitarist wearing a Cheap Trick (an audio warning that is worth checking out, cause it's Cheap Trick) t-shirt.
And the coup de gras: Freakin' Cowboy Troy comes in to join Big and Rich for the finale of their final terrible song. Oh. Ugh. Ow. No.
Everyone go to the Cheap Trick site.

"Where the country music hall of fame?" "I'm sorry what did you say?" "Which way to the country music hall of fame?" "The museum?" "Yes the museum for country music that's right. I'm looking for the big monument sized building with a walking tour."
Thank you kindly.
My man Vin lives in Nashville. I've been to that museum, which was actually kinda fun. I went to that museum a thousand years ago when i was on the road with a band and we played in nashville. seems like i'm talking about a different person but it's true. 14 years ago.
By the way, I'm not kidding about that Cheap Trick site. You load it up and the first thing you hear is "Hello There", which is just such a kickass rock song, and I just love that band. They make rock worthwhile. No kidding.
