I genuinely do not know how people enjoy country music

see like, I understand music is very subjective, what one likes, another might hate, I get that. But only modern country, this of course does not include John Denver, shania Twain, Johnny cash, or my man Conway. their music makes me go feral and I love it

I live in Europe, where American country music is not on the radio all the time, but I have to say I like that music style, and the lyrics are often fun. For example:
"If the phone won't ring, that's me."
"My wife ran off with my best friend, and I miss him" 😏

@helenS A classic, don't want to overstep the point of the post, but this is an American country classic that has resonance, [media=https://youtu.be/AeZRYhLDLeU]

@SW-User Here's my favorite Cash song:

@helenS Thank you. I know the song. It's a little less fun. And music like this does influence other genres/artists, like Bob Dylan, who equally has become old.

helenS · 36-40, F

@SW-User When I think of Dylan, I see him as a young guy who adores Woody Guthrie. It's difficult for me to imagine Dylan as an old man. Same with Peter Gabriel, by the way.

SW-User

@helenS Yes, he did adore Woody. Dylan is a very old man now. And one that actually is producing relevant music, but that's not surprising in a way. He had a prophetic voice as he borrowed folk tunes.

@helenS Personal favourite lyric "Drop kick me, Jesus, through the goalposts of life" Bobby Bare 1976

@SW-User Country lyrics are at least as inventive as blues lyrics!

@helenS You've heard the joke about country music? (silly joke, but very old)

What happens when you quit listening to country music?
You get your truck back, you get your dog back, you get your wife back...

@UnderLockDown Good one! 👍😏
