I did own a lifted F150 in college but sold it when I moved out of the US. No bed cover though.

This is also a v good country song from the greatest supergroup ever formed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3zSp_uhjcI

Actually the song is from an insufferable good-ol-boy who's been milking it ever since, but yeah that version is great.

Not sure where Chris Stapleton falls on the country-pop spectrum, but his show in the bay area had tickets reselling for $100, so maybe he's just grit for the NPR set.

It has come to my attention that country music is in serious trouble and in fact, may be dead. It has apparently been replaced with generic pop songs that have a little twang or acoustic guitar added. This has enraged people.

Take a listen to these three current "country" hits and let me know your thoughts on this very serious matter. (can we possibly blame Garth Brooks?)

I am not enraged. I simply listen to stuff from when it was actually country and good. In fact I saw Lyle Lovett last week and it was awesome.

"Modern country" is garbage and a genre of it's very own.

So we have cowboy poetry up here in the mountains once a year. We went to one of the venues to see acts. They headlined a 5-person boy band acapella group. I expected one of the local ranchers to walk up to the stage and hang each and every one of them.

This same guy has a very popular song at the moment, where he describes wanting to be rich so he can buy a $500 Yeti Cooler and fill it with 50 cent Coors Light beers. I feel like there is so much to be written about just that one line...
