This is pretty awesome. I hate country music, but this is great to see.

Cool story about this dude. I was in Nashville one weekend getting hammered. For those that don't know, Nashville is like Hollywood for country music. I'm at this bar on the strip and this guy walks in, mind you I don't know any of these guys, I'm just having a good time, and someone tells me who he is, John Rich. I'm standing there like who gives a fuck, and everyone is talking about it. Anyway, he gets up on stage, plays 2 songs with the house band, whips out a wad of hundreds and gives one to each person in the band, then walks out. It was pretty neat.

You don't like Crazy by Patsy Cline

Imo it's just modern country that's awful, like this John Rich song Progress. That's been number one for a week too.

I only like Patsy Cline because my dad played her throughout my childhood. Brings back lots of memories.

I do agree, it's definitely the more modern country. I find the older stuff much more tolerable. I'm just a metal guy, and we tend to turn into elitists when it comes to music hahahaha.

Rednecks get a kick out making lefties squirm.

I hate country music but I profoundly appreciate the sentiment.

    I am always stunned when country music achieves anything.

    Hey, that wasn't, bad. I honestly expected it to be kinda cringey.
