@clearthinker I am extremely sorry, clearthinker.
Those words of mine were NOT intended for this user, they were intended for coltrane1, it must have been the “c” thing when I fat-thumbed my response.
Big mistake.
I am very sorry.
clearthinker had nothing to do whatsoever with this conversation.
A lesson to me on careful selection when directing my forum responses.
Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time
I seriously can’t think of anything worse. I grew up listening to country music in the late 80s and early 90s, and a lot of that was pretty bad. But this new stuff, yikes.
Who sees some pretty boy on a stage with a badly exaggerated generic southern accent and a 600 dollar denim jacket shoehorning the words “ice cold beer” into every third line of a song and says “Ooh I like this, this music is for me!”
I would literally rather listen to anything else.Seriously, there’s nothing I can think of, at least not in my lifetime or the hundred or so years of recorded music I own, that seems worse.

@clearthinker said nothing about jazz, and said absolutely no racist things. |
@clearthinker I appreciate your grace and understanding. |
@thespeakerdude One could could argue that a love of music may inspire those that share such to express dismay at powerful forces in the music industry continually, perhaps even aggressively, eschewing originality and intelligence in favor of pandering, exploitation of dubious notions of “authenticity,” and embracing wholesale unoriginality for maximized profits at the expense of high-integrity, original artists who may have otherwise enjoyed those allocations of time, energy, dollars, marketing and distribution. |
