Frazz by Jef Mallett for June 16, 2011

Ever hear “I Feel So Miserable Without You It’s Almost Like Having You Here”? Oops, that was a parody, not a real country song.

What towerwarlock said, plus bang on some pots & pans & you’ve got it. Actually, just one pan with a steady thump would do it.

this might be interesting…

What do you get when you play a country song backwards? You get your wife back, get your dog back, get your job back, get your truck back…

Country music keeps country folk away from civilized people.

Can you really teach songwriting? Seems to me only practice can make you decent at it.

I’ve got those tears in my ears, from lying on my back, while crying over you baby blues.

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song. Woody had it pegged way back there.

Right on, towerwarlock. And now in the rap era, you don’t even need the music part — just chant some doggerel and you’ve got it made.

Why are so many people down on country music?

serenasakitty, People long for the old slightly quirky music country used to be. They seem use a set formula now. It all sounds more like lame rock and roll instead of real country…

Money for nothing and your chicks for free?

Another song title: I miss my wife, but my aim’s getting better.

“Where, oh where, are you tonight?

Why did you leave me here all alone?

I searched the world over, and I thought I’d found true love,

You met another, and PFFT! You was gone!”

What you said is true. However, it takes skill, hard work, and practice if you want it to actually sound good.
