went to a Taiwan celebration of country and culinary tonite - the aborigine performance was awesome - he sang Enigma's Return to Innocence in a skirt with pants! His music made me wanna skip around.
interviewed dierks bentley this morning - he has the number one country song - he was going off about how at 17 he was listening to hank jr. and drinking beer and felt like a man - i couldn't relate. well, silly, first of all, i don't chug anything, well maybe red bull and jamba juice - no actually, i'll chug boba anyday. Secondly, I dont' like twanginess. Thirdly, it's just a funny image in my head.
anyways, then he told me his favorite song in country was alan jackson's something something - he asked, have u heard it - i skipped his question cuz i dont' listen to country and asked him why.
the other day, my hip hop friend said no one should discount a whole genre, that we should be open - i'm trying very hard to like country and twanginess. very very very very very very very very hard - trying to uproot my memphis upbringing - it's very very very hard :OP!
makes me wish, what if i was a rock star and i could just say silly things like busta rhymes - "hip hop is for the youth and the youth is for hip hop" and have people think i'm deep --- hmmm, then i wouldn't have to try so hard to like country :) hehehehe
