Country Music

I listen to Country more now than I used to. And yes, I know that if you play country music backwards you will get your wife, your dog and your truck back. Country gets a bad rap from cynical morons who don't like, nor understand the different sub cultures in our nation. The same prejudice is aimed at Hip Hop, Heavy metal and many other obscure types of music.
Country is actually quite therapeutic. There are songs for the broken hearted and lonely soles. Songs for those with faith in God. Moms and Dads, patriots, true romantics, hard working Americans, car nuts and the list goes on and on. And every song has a story set to a melody with lyrics that are easy to understand and relate to. This is music that makes you feel good down to the soul, and for the most part the moral message is good and true, and I think everyone should put their preconceived notions aside and really listen to the most wholesome music on the radio.
