I travel a lot for work, so I purchased a Sirius radio and account years ago when it came out. I still have to have it today. It is indispensable to me.
I usually listen to metal, classic rock and 90s alt rock. Sometimes I will change things up and listen to political talk or jazz fusion. However, I am basically a metal head, so I stay close to Liquid Metal.
Lately I have branched out and decided to try country. The new stuff is what I call pop country. In my opinion, it sucks. However, there is a nostalgia factor with me for the older stuff, as my dad used to listen to it - George Jones, Waylon Jennings, Metle Haggard, etc.,, Sirius has a channel dedicated to this stuff, so I decided to try it out. I listened to it on the road for the past 3 days. Now I feel like I am on the verge of a mental break down.
Have you listened to the lyrics of old country music? I thought that metal lyrics could get dark, but it has nothing on old country songs. There is fucking, fucking your friend's wife, your wife fucking around on you, murder, people dying, alcoholism, drugs, and worse. There is also an affinity for trains. Plus, it is all put together as a story of twisted, fucked up personal lives being destroyed by infidelity and/or addictive substances.
What kind of person writes this fucked up shit? Little boys talking to truckers on CB radios, then the kid dies. A crippled war veteran who's wife, Ruby, goes out fucking around on him while he is at home in a wheel chair and knows what she is doing. What the fuck is this?!? Fucking your best friend's wife is also a popular theme.
Country music is a study in human psychological pathologies. It is disturbing as hell. Fuck this! I am going back to Lamb of God, Meshuggah, and Opeth. I can related to them, and THEY are not nearly as fucked up as the country assholes.
