Country is an acquired taste, a taste I haven’t acquired.

ask a geneticist, Kate.

Me, I hate country music! Give me Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, and the Beatles every time!

Lardo fell off a turnip truck in his youth.

I like many different musical genres, and I grew up surrounded by country, but I never developed a taste for it.

My mother listened to country music and my brother and I were typical teenagers, he liked rock and I liked top 40, some easy listening, etc. But after a while of hearing my mother’s music I grew to like it and believe it or not so did my brother! I remember him trying to introduce his friends to it and they laughed at him and the music!

IMHO every genre of music has good and bad. Over time the good survives and the bad fades away.

Many years ago I was in husbands car with the radio on a country station After awhile I asked him to change it. He says you need to be more tolerant. But I can’t listen to my metal music if he is in my car.

I dig Rock and Roll music……..

My rule for any genre of music: is it well-performed? I can enjoy modern as well as ancient. They’re all the same notes, Folks!

Play any country song backwards and you’ll get your job back, your house back, your dog back and your wife back.

“Oh, Give me man boots and a saddle…”“OH! Give me ear plugs for my head!”

I’m typically a Classic Rock guy but once in a great while I’ll break and put on some Outlaw Country. Sometimes a little Waylon, Willie, Tompall Glaser and Jessi Colter scratches that itch for me. I left Texas a very long time ago, but I guess a little bit of it still resides in me.

Katy is definitely not in control with this.

Me, I like “Weird Al”, Alan Sherman, Victor Buono, and Tom Lehrer.

SABBATH!

you could also be somewhere else… just making another option for her.

As a kid, I hated country music. Now, it’s all I listen to.
