Country music is having a big moment. So I feel like now is as good a time as any to say what I really think about the genre. And it's not very positive!
At the same time, it's complicated. Although I've told people I hate country music, I don't think that's actually true. However, there are definitely some aspects of the culture surrounding country music that I do hate.
I go all the way back. It gets pretty spirited. I make some connections. I figure some things out.
Unfortunately, I also forget Keith Urban's name in a crucial moment. Oh well.
What are your thoughts on country music? What about the whole idea of genre? As I mention in the episode, musicians seem to not care so much about genre as long as the music is cool.
