I really don't understand all the hate for "New" Country. Sure, if I want to hear some good country I stay off the radio. New Country too me is a whole new genre that I enjoy at times. I like where some of the songs lyrics take me mentally. "Hop in the truck and get all tangled up", my "first time" was in the front seat of a truck, that was before trucks had back seats. "Tattoos on this town", takes me back to my hometown and my vision of the good ole days. The list goes on. Some of the new stuff sucks no doubt.
Red Solo Cup. If I'm listening to Conway, Merle, Hank etc and that song comes on.....I'll expose my pair of vegetables and throw my glass at the stereo. But, when I'm having drinks out next to the fire pit with some friends and neighbors (drinking beer from solo cups) waiting for the pizza guy to show up, and that song comes on and everyone starts laughing......it Made for a good memory.
Worst song ever? There are a few....Achy Breaky Heart, I write the songs and that Banana song "this shat is bananas b.a.n.a.n.a.s" all come to mind.
