"Anything But Country Sat, 13 Apr 2002 06:29 PM You hear it countless times, especially if you hang around certain hipster circles. What kind of music do you like? "I'll listen to anything but country." You may hear it less since the start of the irresistible flood of "roots music" sentimentality that's been prominent recently, but still some people's impression of country music has been beaten into such crushing submission by contemporary bubble gum garbage that they've slipped into a demented prejudice about one of this country's genuinely original art forms. Does that make Johnny Cash punk? "
Amen brother! I'm starting to regain my appreciation of the genre myself. And it doesn't include the bubble gum stuff either.
I am a pretty regular reader of angrynerd.com and I keep telling myself 'I'm going to scrape this site with RSSDistiller some time.' That way you'd also have his insightful inline annotation links as well.
