Everything else seems to be going to schitt in this county, so why not country music? As we circle the drain slowly getting closer to the bottom with each revolution. Round and round we go..........?
Country has always cast a wide net. Even Johnny Cash faced accusations of not being country. I remember my granddad thought country music died with Jimmie Rodgers. I'd be more inclined to say it died with George Jones. It's funny how the Southern Rock of the 70's sounds more country than the schytt they pass off as country today.
Yes Absolutely Correct. Country music died from damn yuppie's influence. Lynn, Jones, Flat and Scruggs, Jim and Jesse FOREVER. A plague on this new stuff.

I still recall the cold chill I felt, 1969 I think, listening to the smiling girls on Hee Haw cheerfully singing about murdering Federal Agents on some hill top in Tennessee.
Law enforcement Officers, murdered in cold blood, something about those people not wanting to pay taxes.

You can tell very quickly who listens to whatever is dictated to them on the fm radio and who takes the time to listen to what they want to hear. It’s not hard to find new real country music. But covered here ad nauseum over the years.

Yeah, a large number of old fuds don't realize that people are not discovering new music nowadays by listening to the radio. They've never heard of things like Spotify, Apple Music, etc. I wonder if they've noticed that you no longer see "record stores" at the shopping mall. Wait, are people even still going to shopping malls?! LOL! Oh yeah, shopping malls are also dying.
"Honey, I'll be back in a little bit. I'm going down to the Radio Shack and pick up a new needle for the phoneygraph and a couple of them replacement tubes for the AM radio. I might also stop at the record store and check out the new Top 40 list they post on their bulletin board. I heard that Bubba Joe Stumpy has a new song out called I Couldn't Break Her Heart, So I Broke Her Leg. I might also stop by the Sears or the Kmart and take a look at the lawn mowers."
