If you've seen "Walk the Line", there's the scene where Johnny Cash is in the studio trying to convince the record company guy to let him do a record, and he's playing some old-timey hackneyed crap and the guy isn't buying it... and the guy TELLS him it's crap, and asks him to sing something real (and he does) - that's what I wish would happen to every one of the zillion lame country "artists" out there.

I used to just hate country until my buddy played me some oldskool stuff that had some passion in it, songs that told you stories about people that weren't part of some marketing demographic. That kind of country I like, but Garth Brooks IS an abomination, although admittedly a talented one.

All change is not progress.
