VaMilBill Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Watching the ACM's, Tony Romo and Blake Shelton poked fun at the patriots. Thought you all might respect Romo a little more for making fun of the pats. Haha. https://youtu.be/EIBTzbviHjM Edited April 20, 2015 by VaMilBill
LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Terrible show with terrible new Country crap ^^^^^^ What he said. ^^^^^^
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Terrible show with terrible new Country crap Agreed. Country music used to be about mama, trains, trucks, prison, and getting drunk. Now it's just pop music with a slide guitar and/or fiddle thrown in there as an after thought to make it sound country. The lyrics boil down to "Hey. I live in the south/small town/on a farm/in America, and you do too. Them northerners/city folk don't understand our simple life. Buy my record. Oh, and here's my obligatory ass kissing reference to Johnny Cash/Willie Nelson/Hank Williams."

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Nailed it. I used to be quite neutral to modern country music. I was almost sure that when I moved to Texas that the stuff would grow on me. It's had the opposite effect though. I can't stand it now. There is some good stuff, but nothing you'll find on the radio.

You have to search high and low to find good music these days, not the cookie cutter crap they play on the radio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vapt5C3yDeY Not a fan of country, but who ever put this together did a bang up job.
NoSaint Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Not a fan of country, but who ever put this together did a bang up job. i couldnt resist posting it in reply to TRBJ complaining about the cliche country songs.... its just amazing how formulaic the radio hits are. i mean, it makes sense, but it still blows my mind how close to the same they all are...

Well I was drunk, the day my mom, got out of prison, And I went, to pick her up, in the rain, But before, I could get to the station in my pickup, truck.....
ExiledInIllinois Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Nailed it. At least he is nailing something. Not exactly what the board wants to see though. ;-) E-Z softball lobbed across the plate... :-P
peterpan Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Well I was drunk, the day my mom, got out of prison, And I went, to pick her up, in the rain, But before, I could get to the station in my pickup, truck..... I was wondering if anyone else got that reference!
Bftvocal70 Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 As a musician and song writer, I can't tell you how it burns my ass that the right producer and engineers can literally make a chimpanzee sound like a superstar in today's modern studio. Talent has taken a backseat to image. Music is an art form, and any art form is based on originality and effect. We are force fed what the labels want us to hear from their "assembly line" style trash. I would say don't get me started but it's too late for that now haha

What did Elvis have that Chuck Berry didn't other than white skin, ten years of youth, and better looks? Edited April 20, 2015 by The Real Buffalo Joe
Fadingpain Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Terrible show with terrible new Country crap No need for the modifier "new" in you sentence. It's all crap.
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 No need for the modifier "new" in you sentence. It's all crap. Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams Senior, and some of Junior's stuff, Charlie Daniels, David Allan Coe. Open up your mind.
Fadingpain Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams Senior, and some of Junior's stuff, Charlie Daniels, David Allan Coe. Open up your mind. Johnny Cash has written a few songs I found pleasure in. As a musical genre, Country music sucks. I'm entitled to my opinion...I play 2 instruments, write music, and listen to almost all genres of music. My mind is open. Country music just sucks.
