...when Hee Haw went off the air, don't watch this. IMHO, these are the people that are gonna save this country.

Pat, you are scaring me now!!!!!

What the heck is that?!

Those good ol' boys don't know where the brakes are, for sure.

Gee, I wonder what mannlicker will say.

I know...Elvis is the King.

TFF!

can tell those that write it off due to the style versus actually listening to what he is saying....

that blonde looks like she caught a rapala in her navel. she needs to watch where others are casting their lures.

Right? Music is a strange thing that way. I guess playing a little helps me appreciate generational change.

since I keep that oxygen thief on ignore, and don't read his chit, tell me, is he really that big an azzhole? Ignorant too, since he can't spell.

dont play but listen to a bit of everything from about the 60's forward......dont particularly like that artist but have some others of the type in my library.....and though dont care much to listen to that artist do agree with what the song is saying....might be in the style of rap but far more conservative than most country

That video is a riot!!

Yup...I didn't mean him specifically.

Fixed.

The lyrics were funny and rang truth.

Those videos must have been a blast to film.

They're burning a couch!!

I'm dying here.

just need a tire or two for the fire.

We tend to want to put our heads in the sand and discount what the younger generation does as foolish. Our parents did the same thing. Some of the messages in this stuff are pretty powerful, and timely.

Yep not big on the style but like what he is saying and the vid is hilarious.

What, no bloodhound???

In WV the Treeing Walker is the hound

1st video needs hotter chicks....IMHO...


I would still bang either of them....

Clark




Holy chit bro's!

Not many sheep in West Virginia...

Pat;
Thanks for sharing that video, it was indeed powerful.

The building I was in this morning had the same symbol on the back wall behind the speaker as the young man in the video.

As rattler and you have said, if we don't listen to the words occasionally we'll miss what they're trying to tell us.

Like it or not, they are our future and will be deciding how our lives end out.

As a fellow father Pat I know you've taken the steps you felt appropriate to address this situation as have I.

Time will be the judge of whether we've done alright getting the next shift a proper foothold, but I see signs of hope every day Pat.

Thanks again sir and all the best to you and your fine family for the remainder of the summer.

Dwayne

You have my friend.

I've only heard it 1.5 times but this is my favorite new country song.


Odd video.

Say what you want about Dwight, he's always kept it real.

The redheaded she devil worked on a video with him back in the late 80's, early 90's, said she couldn't believe someone could have jeans that tight, and do that much coke. He did a wardrobe change and a bump every hour and a half.

For a cocaine cowboy, I think he's alright.

FWIW, I just finished phase 1 of a very large job, where we hired about 50 laborers from all over the country. Most in kolluge, some just out of HS, to get experience in the building trades.

I wouldn't hesitate to toss them the keys to this country when the time comes.

We're going to be alright.

Maybe that's what Mannlicker hates. An attached sense of optimism born from being with the future, and helping them see a path that will benefit themselves and the country as an whole.

Or I could be popular around here by watching fox news all day and say we're going to chit.

Oh yeah, bought a couple Dwight CD's back in the 1990's.
He always has a great band/sound.

White trash. How 'bout you?

This is country music

And there is always one who doesn't quite get the thread.

That's a great tune but it is far from being country.

Mini Thin may have a good message but the delivery is so lacking in talent it is hard to stomach. That and the Kid Rock schtick is a little dated. He kinda reminds me of the douche from Tennessee that posted on here for awhile. The one with the pic on the fireplace with the slippers.

That's a great tune but it is far from being country.

That's funny. How 'bout these "kids" from AL with the Great One singing a Wille song?

I don't worry about the next generation. I worry for them.

I can't disagree with the much of the lyrics but its no wonder everyone thinks people from tennessee are stupid hicks. They call that $hit hick-hop and it SUUUUUUUX. Redneck retards acting like gangsters, not the people I want to voice my opinion, nobody in their right mind would take those guys seriously. On top of that both girls are homely. Tards fo sho yo.

If its got people flipping the bird and cursing it ain't Country.

Even I get that.


Anyways, like that last "country" video you posted with them big fat guys some time back, I kept expecting a scene where they were having sex with farm animals.

Birdwatcher

Not exactly

...that explains the famous stanza Because you're mine b&tch, I walk the line....

But they know uow tonget ebt cards and meth.

Are you saying there's a message in there?

Check this one out.

My new favorite artist.

I think I'd rather be black.




Travis

This is not the thread for posting talent.




Travis

Might be the uberist thing I've ever seen.

Thanks!

I used to really like Dwight. Till he did a movie, all involved in which I'd not mind seeing in a house that collapsed and caught fire.

That kicks AZZ

That is some annoying schitt there. About typical for this day and age. The fact that someone could listen to more than 5 seconds of that is incredible.

a "message" in a song doesn't make it country. That white trash stuff is far from country. If that song in the original post was played on a "country" music station, I'd still not tune in, as they don't play any country these days anyways, that stuff wouldn't change my mind.
I listen to old rock in roll these days. Wish there was a station local that played old 'real" country.

That's why I have and love my SiriusXM.

So...define country.

Let's define music first.





Travis

For sure be better to be Afreakin than Montanian.

for starters, if the "message" is being delivered in "rap", it ain't country. Much of "todays" country is exactly that, and it sucks.

So, it's a sound...not a message. Right?

Listening to rap music is like hitting your self on the head with a hammer, just because it feels so good when you stop!

Whatever. City bitch.

Wait a minute. I think they're saying country music is like disco...a "genre", and really has nothing to do with being from the country. Like the Dixie Chicks.

How does one listen to that long enough to get a message?

ooohga booooga ungowa

Standard oxymoron:

Country Music

Me too! Willies Roadhouse and Prime Country are the two Sirius Stations I listen to the most.

All that crap they play on FM "Country" stations nowadays sure as hell ain't COUNTRY !

I think personal interpretations vary wildly of what anything "is" when it comes to music. Obviously being FROM the country is not a pre-req to some. Only what it sounds like.

Then again, what is "country" as far as where one is from or lives?

Sorry Pat, but by any sane definition, that's no even close to country. It's white trash trailer park noise. I'm OK with folks liking it, (one guy's noise is another's music) but I AM getting tired of lines being pushed, and definitions being rewritten...............and Bruce Jenner being called a hero. Anyway, enjoy your slippery slope, and here's some more noise from some very confused white kids.



There's another one that's just as bad that advertises in one of my 4wd magazines. I'll try to find him.

Here she is...........

This^^^

C'mon man...that's what old people have been saying about music forever.

I get your point Pat, and can look backwards to all of the musical examples that prove what you're saying. It's all just entertainment, so whatever floats a generation's boat I guess. I just can't call it "country" any more than that bubblegum crap Tim McGraw makes a fortune with. While Reality TV is also a form of entertainment, it's so distanced from reality, that I can't enjoy that either. If this new "genre" was given a different label, like Trailer, then I'd be fine with it, and know what to expect, and avoid.

I do enjoy the Gangstagrass intro to Justified BTW.

And to your original point, I AM encouraged that this next generation is calling BS to the Political Correctness that's being shoved down our throats. I said exactly that yesterday to a high school kid at a gas station who pulled up in a late model Chevy 2500 with both Gadsen and CS Battle flags flying from the bed. He and his GF didn't look "hate filled," just young, and fed up with the country they're inheriting.

I understand. I grew up listening to Floyd Cramer and Chet Adkins and in my adolescence it was Waylon, Willie and the Boys. Skynard and ZZ Top came around when I started playing, then SRV and A/C came into the picture.

I am of the opinion that any style of music can be good...or bad.

Where the heck was planned parenthood when this Pyhuck was in the womb?

Here's one that has it all, sad songs, guns, cops,.....criminal charges

.....Justifiable Homicide ?






GTC

That's as bad as fingernails on a chalkboard.

Actually, I only posted that one because of the thick girl. I turn the sound off on that one.

I'm fast talkin' and booty-poppin'.




Clark

IMHO, one of the best voices in C/W - too bad he didn't get more/stay more popular.

Mark's one of our local boys. He still performs, but would rather just hang out at his place and drink.

here's another guy that hails from TX. He's hangin on to the tradition country sound.

Here's another "genre" that needs the sound turned off, but it has Kendra.
Proof that budgeting for the scenery yields much better results than filming your sister/cousin for free.

Just one more reason for me to make a trip down there!

We manage 2-3 BYOF parties a winter including New Years. A couch, a lazy chair heat up the area with a quickness... (bring your own furniture)...

This video was filmed at one of our favorite little places, the "Pine Tree Lodge". It's not really as much of a beer joint, as it is a diner, but we though it came out pretty good.

PHHHhhhtt.

GTC

Sorry, I've never like that one from MC. Some other ones are OK though.


Not to let this thread and its original topic die just yet, here's another "modern country" singer. IMO he's more talented, AND is able to poke fun of the message/himself at the same time. Even has a made up name. Anyway, I wouldn't like the song on the radio, but like the video because its meant to be funny rather than expecting the audience to take him seriously. The first time I saw the fat truck driver rappers I thought it was a satire, then realized they were trying to be serious.

Truth be told I expect my wife has said the same thing about me.
