The Music Of Pain...

[deird_lj]

Commiserate with me, for I have become a country & western fan.

It's all Fred Burkle's fault, in a way. She put a poster of The Dixie Chicks up in her lab, and I thought "Well, if Fred likes them, they can't be that bad."
Which, yes, is completely stupid, because
1) Fred is a fictional character
and
2) even as a fictional character, I have no idea whether she has good taste in music
but apparently my brain thought this was a good enough reason to buy a Dixie Chicks cd when I saw it on sale.

And it was really good.

And because no-one buys country & western music - ever - the cds keep on being on sale...
And I keep liking them...

This can't end well.

Eh. The Dixie Chicks are absolutely the only country band I'll very easily admit to liking. I grew up with my parents listening to the stuff all the time, so there was an immediate not-wanting-to-like-it factor, plus just that whole thing of...I dunno, it's country.

But, okay, I will admit to knowing some of the words to and liking some songs by, say, Sara Evans, Sugarland, Brad Paisley...things like that. I resolutely refuse to buy their music, but I will admit that while most country music drives me batty, there is some tolerable stuff in the genre.

Most of which is the Dixie Chicks.
