It used to be about injustice and downtrodden. Now commercial country is about Christian Family Values…and fucking and drinking.

That struck me when wife came home with Toby Keith’s “White Trash With Money”, with a dedication to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on the back cover, and contained a song “Ain’t no Right Way to do the Wrong Thing”, a song about moral absolutism, and ended with “Running Block”, a song about having drunken sex with overweight women in a motel room…

we’ve been talking the last few days how the use and definition of some words are changing over time- terrorism, moron, idiot etc

i submit “country music” - today’s has absolutely no relation to what it once was or whence it came
