Lightsabers and Lollipops

i'm re-evaluating my music collection while loading my ipod, ziggy.

i'm only on B today so i came across a lot of garth brookes and brooks & dunn.
i'm not a big fan of country music. in fact, no sir, i don't like it.

i gave a lot of thought to one of the many reasons why. here it is:

when i make fun of somebody who seems uneducated and just plain stupid, i use a voice like you would to sing country music. for instance, if you've seen the show family guy (and you should) you may have seen the episode where they hide out in the south. and one of the southern characters asks if the big city kids use "perfume for your armpits".
does that mean that i don't have a good opinion of the intellect of those who live south of the mason dixon line? probably.
in fact, from what i've heard from the music (when i'm in a situation where it can't be avoided) all i hear is ways to downgrade your station in life. i'm trying very hard to think of something positive that is sung about in country music. let's just pretend that we live in a place where gettin drunk and screwin anything that moves is NOT an act that requires applause.

now don't get me wrong. my taste in music does have it's pitfalls. from time to time, i do enjoy the "not so talented and mindless" songs from artists such as: biz markie, wesley willis and king kong. sometimes, stupid music just hits the spot.

it could be cuz i just don't frequent enough bars with nutshells and broken glass on the floors. course, you don't find me in many bars with clean floors either. not unless they serve really good jalapeno poppers. mmmm poppers...

just remember,

"fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son."
