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 *******, ******* your friend's wife, your wife ******* 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 ******* around on him while he is at home in a wheel chair and knows what she is doing. What the **** is this?!? ******* your best friend's wife is also a popular theme.
Country music is a study in human psychological pathologies. It is disturbing as hell. **** 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.
