What are they thinking?

      I don't know who told them that what they are putting out and what the kids are listening to these days is good music.  It is so stupid sounding.  The kids now-a-days, do not have a clue as to what good music is.  If only they knew what we know.  We have a whole library of really good music, not all one genre, but a mixture of sorts.  We prefer and lean-to mostly Classic Country (the 90's era is the best produced ever), but we mix in some Rock, Metal and whatever sounds good to our ears.  

       It is very hard for us to listen to the radio these days because there are not that many Classic Country Stations anymore.  The radio stations are all New Country or that awful Rap, Thug or Party crap.  Can't understand the words, just hear the thump and makes me want to throw up.  They don't know what we feel when we hear a steel guitar and a fiddle.  That speaks to our soul more than anything.  We can feel the emotion in all the songs.  Most country songs we listen to, you can take your partner out on the dance floor and shine your belt buckle.  That means you dance so close that you shine your belt buckle on your partner's shirt.  I love those songs.

     My husband and I love to dance.  As we get older, they are few and far between, but we can cut-a-rug.  One time, we had an older gentleman come up and shake my husband's hand and said it was pleasure to watch me and my husband dance.  He said he had seen nothing like it before and he wished he could do it.  Now, my husband was beaming.  I just love to dance with him.  He just has a way that is so natural.  I can feel his next move.  Now, we did not do a standard 2-step, Tommy does something else. Will have to explain when I have more time.  

       Anyways, about the music, what the heck are they thinking?  These young punks have no idea what they are singing about and  they have no idea how cheesy and gay they sound.  It is hard to have heart and soul in the music when they have never been through what others have to wrote the song or even lived it.  Country is not all about getting drunk and losing your old lady and your dog.  There are  a lot more emotions and problems in the mix.  We think the heart and soul of country music is slipping away.  Now we know George Strait and Alan Jackson have sang songs about how things have changed.  There are a lot of greats out there that just can't believe how far it has gone.  We need to do something about it.  We can't say they can't sing.  They just can't sing Country.  Putting too much Pop in it.  As Hank Williams Jr. says it ain't Rock N Roll, sure as hell ain't Country or Rhythm and Blues.  We don't know what it is exactly, but we don't like it.
