Here at the office, my computer is not equipped with speakers. That means one of my colleagues usually plays some background music while I'm in doing the boring administrative work.
Most of the time, Deb plays music on her computer. Her tastes run from classic soul (Al Green, Aretha Franklin) to Benny Goodman and Tommy Dorsey. No problem.
But, today Deb is out. The other chick is playing contemporary country. This music acts on me like the Chinese torture of 1,000 cuts! Like nails on a chalkboard. Like cotton candy on a diabetic.
The stupidest, most obvious hooks, lame lyrics all sung by nasally white guys with tobacco stuffed in their cheeks and an IQ if equated with temperature would assure us of icy roads and a blizzard.
Am I a music snob, or are there others out there who simply can't abide crappy country?
