Someone help me! I may have crossed over to the dark side.

I'm listening to country music (roots) and I like it! Actually, it's Junior Brown's new cd entitled, "Down Home Chrome". He is sort of a roots country guy and has been around a few years. I guess he did the narration in the "Dukes of Hazzard" movie. Can't confirm this, as I haven't seen it, but that's what they say. He's actually quite entertaining. Since I am listening to this stuff, does this make me a bad guy? "Hangs head in shame". Country music. Ah us crazy heartlanders.

1. I think you're allowed to like that music and still be a progressive.

Chill. It's okay. It's not about what CDs you're listening to. It's about how you're voting and what you're supporting, generally.

2. REAL country music is just fine.

It's that mass-market pop crap masquerading as country that is the tool of the devil.

3. I've listened to roots music for a long time

And I am still fine. Real Americana musicians aren't freepers anyway.

4. My WW2 vet dad LOVED Bob Wills and I grew to do the same.

Mind, I love r&B, funk, and punk, mostly, but Wills, Patsy Cline, great bluegrass--my dad taught me to love all music.

5. Brown can spank the daylights out of a guitar

so you get a pass from me. Plus, he's hilarious.

7. It's OK to listen to the music as long as you don't drink the KoolAid. n/t

8. There is LOTS of good country music out there.

You just don't hear much of it (the good stuff) on the radio or see it on the TV.

Get in touch with your inner hillbilly and YEEHAW with pride!

:headbang: so to speak that is...

9. No, you haven't...I played a Hank Williams song the other night...

in a blues performance running in conjunction with a race exhibition. On a steel guitar.
It's all the same thing.

10. I like Hank Williams and Hank Williams Jr.

I also like Willie Nelson, but I'm willing to bet he is on our side. I know he supports the legalization of marijuana.
