Okay, I bought the tickets. Think I suck 'cause I like the country music? Fuck you.

Teh end.



fame doesn't take away the pain, it just pays the bills // and you wind up on alcohol and pills
sometimes somebody just doesn't wake up one day // sometimes it's a heart attack, sometimes they just don't say
they pulled poor Hank Williams out of a Cadillac Coupe De Ville
he ended up on alcohol and pills

it's great that you're excited, but this really could have been spread out across another six updates

the spirit of john vanderslice compels me not to write anything evil to you here. but understand that if he didn't i would get in a flamewar that would make circa 2000 UV denizens proud :[

ps: seven swans: better than i might have thought? i can see a lot of light in SOMETHING anyway

the spirit of john vanderslice compels me to listen to pixel revolt, which is awesome

[stophittinyrslf.livejournal.com]

i bet

nothing to say that is not evil

I eagerly await the retail release, at which point I will happily inflate the retail numbers of Mr. Vanderslice by at least one.

Aw, you're just jealous that I have tickets to see Mr. Eaglesmith and you don't.

I hear he does a pretty good show, although Lipstick, Lies, and Gasoline was a MUCH better album than Dusty. Unfortunately, he'll probably be touring for the latter and will play less of the former. At least he'll probably play "Water in the Fuel."

I really suggest you search out at least that one track and give it a good solid listen and see what you think.

Um. Why would I think you suck because you like country music? I mean, I dislike a LOT of it, but there's still good stuff in the genre.

[solipsistnation.livejournal.com]

I dunno. Some people seem to be very genre-centric. You know, "All country music sucks!" and so on, right?

[chorus.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, some people are morons. I mean, not liking a song is not the same as the song not being well-written, it's just a matter of taste.

Now, if you were all hyper about going to see a Britney Spears concert, I'd have to question your taste. :P

[solipsistnation.livejournal.com]

What if I had some kind of music-snobby reason for it? Like, for example, how Trevor Horn produced Tatu?

[blarglefiend.livejournal.com]

Why did he, anyway? Some sort of perverse idea that a pair of Russian lesbians might let him join in?

(As to country music, yay!)

"Hm, I haven't had any actual _food_ in a while. Perhaps I ought to churn out some hits and generate some cash."

[chorus.livejournal.com]

Well.... okay. Cuz pseudo-lesbian Russian chicks are hot. :)

[mazianni.livejournal.com]

No, there's some country that's okay. All synthpop sucks! ;-P

[ninjarat.livejournal.com]

I dunnow. I mean, Garth Brooks is an old skool Kiss fan so he can't be all bad, right?

[solipsistnation.livejournal.com]

Uh.

I dunno. That doesn't necessarily endear him to me.

[mazianni.livejournal.com]

Garth Brooks isn't country. Garth Brooks is a pop star.

Hank Williams (Sr or Jr, take your pick) is country.

I like county music too!

[desertlover.livejournal.com]

But I think you suck anyway :-)

(just kidding of course!)

One of my favorite Dwight Yokam tunes:

It won't hurt when I fall down from this barstool...
It won't hurt when I tumble in the streets
It won't hurt 'cuz whiskey eases misery
But eve Whiskey can not ease your hurtin me...
