I think that most of the people who hate Country Music have yet to hear GOOD Country Music. Country is just as susceptable to the "POP Music" phenomena as Rock. There's almost NO modern country that's worth a damn (imo [img]smile.gif[/img] ), but if you watch "Brother, where art thou" and don't find yourself getting caught up in some of the Excellent bluegrass that fills that movie from get to go... well THEN you can say that you really don't like country.
I must admit that I'm a Country Boy... and I still regularly listen to John Denver (a bit folkish but still country imo), Hank Williams Sr., Patsy Cline, Kitty Wells, Willie Nelson, and OF COURSE... Johnny Cash.

Ok ok, you caught me in a half fib [img]smile.gif[/img] I will confess that there IS some bluegrass that I like...Rocky Top when sung by the right person can really get me...along with a few other titles...but I don' like NONE o' that twangy hillbillie stuff [img]smile.gif[/img]
