i love the old country. i think the only way to keep a country genre
sacred is to disqualify contemporary country. there's something pure about
REAL country music that's hard to get out of any genre..that might be why i
like modest mouse actually. they sorta remind me of real country in one
way or another. i don't have a big problem with garth brooks as much as i
do with other country; not to say i like him, but he doesn't make me wanna
pull my hair out.
