MAMEWorld Forums - The Loony Bin - Country Music Awards? Today?

WARNING! TL;DR CORNPONE STUFF! WARNING!

I just can't get into what's considered "today's country". And when I think of today's country and the bars that host such a petered out cowpatty in comparison there's no way arcade games could have gone as far as they did.

Really! West Kittanning may be all redneck as all podunk as ya city dwellers care ta venture an' sah! But the games were there! Givin' hope to us who were the offspring for a better thang, that's what it wuz all 'bout!

We may be kin 'cross tha galaxee yeh we ain' dumb. ;-)

Ahem! Sorry! Got countrified there for a minute. :-) :-) :-)

As Eazy E. said, "Really though." If I ever go to a store and find compact discs or venture online and find music I sincerely doubt that I'll know what "new" country is. Because that is as oxymoronic as it gets! I can't help but to sway to the sounds from...

Hank Williams, Sr.
Johnny Cash
Waylon Jennings
David Allan Coe
Hank III
George Jones
Willie Nelson
Garth Brooks
Hank Williams, Jr.
Merle Haggard
Kenny Rogers
Conway Twitty

Yes, it's testosterone-biased. I can't mention Shania Twain or Tammy Wynette or it ain't real country. Well, according to those boys. I have a heart for Dolly Parton, Crystal Gayle and Minnie Pearl. Jett Williams is a savior for saving the sounds of Hank Williams Sr. from a death by a dumpster.

Or, to end the tl;dr, today's country doesn't have the soul or passion for life as it is. And the funny part about really good music, not just country, is that it's just timeless! :-)

Kinda like an awesome arcade game. And I'd love to share the story of "The Inn". As long as my own life persists and permits, of course.
