Btw, Klugmo, I AM a blue-collar guy. About as blue collar as they come. Look at my other posts about my day gig, & you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. I don't look down on the working man, cuz I can't afford to. But I will always look down on those ppl who celebrate being rude, or who think that having good manners, especially on stage, is not for "real men."
And before you think I'm some sort of country music hater, I'll add that the band I've been working in for over 10 years plays a LOT of classic country by Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Patsy Cline, & even some bluegrass. I've worked in a bluegrass band for over 2 years, too. I love good music, & there's truly plenty of that in the country genre, even though a lot of the more modern stuff should be called southern rock or blues.
It's certainly okay for you to disagree with my views, too. That's what makes us all unique. In your eyes I guess I look like some sort of BS elitist or something, but I just think it's a huge shame that country folk have lost that charm & those manners that they used to be so proud of in the past, & yeah, that covers a lot of the musicians AND much of thier audience. Again, that's just my opinion, & we all know what that's worth, eh?
