LOL!! Yep, get tired of hearing the same old shit on the radio. However, there are some damned good pickers in country music!! That old clip of Albert Lee playing his Tele is pretty hot, and, that was thirty five years ago. Pretty good for an Englishman doing country back in those days!! I drink enough beer and have enough problem; don't need to hear anyone whine about theirs!!

I listen to it sometimes, but not that pop crap sung with an accent. I love the style and the guitar tones. Would love to be able to do that hybrid picking those guys do.
Beer, Truck, Tailgate, Son, Wife, Father, Daughter, Momma, Farm, Cornfield. Make a chorus with any of these words and give it a good guitar hook. Now talk about sad, happy or angry any of those make you.
You forgot 'Texas'. Frequency of use inversely proportionate to the number of times the songwriter has been there.
Also, don't forget 'Murrica.
Country acts go hyperpatriotic as a cash grab or last-ditch career resuscitation the same way hair metal bands recorded power ballads or rappers went gangsta mid-career.
