And it is fun every now and again to stick a spoke in the pop-country wheels, so long as it’s in fun (my opinion anyways). I’m a firm believer that EVERYONE has the right to be exposed to good art, and sometimes they are exposed to it by trying to find camaraderie in their disdain for the rest.ĭude I ain’t tryin to claim that the majority of your articles are trashing pop-country instead of promoting the music we all like. I appreciate everyone who spends the time to read what I write, but I never want anybody to feel obligated to read or participate in anything they don’t want to.Īnd yes, the internet has given bands, artists, and sub-cultures the ability to exist, but as money and interest is usurped by big corporate machines, it does not allow them to thrive as they should. Yes, you have options, and if you don’t want to read this article, then don’t. One of those options should also be venting frustrations that people have about elements of our culture, and this is where the energy and interest in this article comes from. Yes, the internet provides an infinite variety of options, but in the same respect it also can hide a lot of the good stuff because the dizzying amount of options. This is not a focus, and it wasn’t really that big of a time commitment for me. Right now on the main page of the site, there are 13 articles.

Now I see why you are swerving all over the place, trying to start something. It just rallies everyone to say “yep, pop-country sucks… still”Īh ha. Your taking time and energy on what really sucks about mainstream country, and the bitching about it won’t do anything. We all know where mainstream country is, this isn’t news worthy to this crowd. As Colby Jack said, “people who care avoid this.” Just cause it made a 1min. CNN other outlets broadcast a lot of stuff. I don’t by that you just “stumbled” on this. Why would you go on CNN to see if a country legend got his proper due? Sure Charlie Louvin is a country legend, but a legend that is kind of for real insiders of country, not exactly something I would expect mainstream anything to really grab ahold of. I found it when digging in CNN”™s entertainment section to see if a country music legend would get his proper due.” I do not go to CMT.com except the very rare occasion to research a story. This is the state of country music in 2011. And what did I find instead? Sex, and puppets, and Trace Adkins. You know how I found this story? I went to CNN.com to verify what I already knew, that the nation’s lead online outlet for news would be completely mum on the passing of Charlie Louvin. I’m actually for talking to kids at a younger age candidly about sex, about ending the age-old stigmas about discussing sex so kids are better prepared to deal with it when they come of a sexual age. are telling us that is exactly who they are targeting, our children, and are going out of their way to make sure it is an appealing environment for their brains to be stunted and their creativity and art appreciation stultified by this unapologetic money-driven filth. Unlike Joe Camel of Camel Cigarettes, or Spuds MacKenzie for Bud Light, whose creators were steadfast that they were not targeting children with their products meant for adult consumption, Trace Adkins & Co. That’s right boys and girls, if you’re from the South, or from the West, or live in the country, or enjoy country music, this is what they have done to your culture: relegated it to innuendo and puppet sex.

So clearly something’s goin’ down somewhere–probably in that big red barn.” Now you may watch the video and not see anything that looks too bad, but the CNN story also says, “Over in puppet wardrobe, designers are laying out a doll sized negligee and bra. We wanted to do a video that kept the innuendo, but at the same time is ‘G’ rated so kids can watch it, and their parents don’t have to worry about them seeing something–so we’re using puppets. And through what vehicle? Sexualized puppets. Well now my friends, the Trace Adkins camp has shown their complete hand, and without question, it is your kids they are after. Some thought it was a stretch to say it was targeted towards kids, and putting clips of children reciting an innocuous joke that had nothing to do with the actual song was a way for me to bend facts to fit my assertion. That I was being some sort of ultra-moralist by pointing out the sexual nature of the song. When I first roasted this song, a lot of people thought I’d gone too far.

You know how McDonald’s targets children by putting plastic toys in their garbage meals to train their eating habits so when their old and obese they have to lop off infected limbs just to stay alive until they die of a diabetic coma? Well this is the approach Trace Adkins has taken with his dumb song “Brown Chicken Brown Cow.”
