Yesterday you were casting aspersions

You're incorrect. I was stating what I believe to be the truth about country music fans. It isn't "casting an aspersion" to state that one believes such people to be musically ignorant. I defamed no one. There was no intent to mislead anyone. I think what I stated is true.

You may think I insulted country music fans, and if you wish to take it that way I have no problem with it.

I think some country singers and country writers are great, especially the ones who write and sing real country. I think the crap they call "country music" now is pure unadulterated horse squeeze.

“Country music fits the taste of the musically ignorant, and Hollywood doesn’t help matters by propping up middling performers.”

Calling people ignorant because they enjoy a certain type of music is insulting.

Keep spinning.;^)

There you go again.

Honey, regional music is in people’s blood. In other countries people swoon with nostalgia from their folk music, or even just their drumbeats. Country is America’s special unique music (not the only one - we have jazz, rock and roll, R&B, etc).

It’s ungenerous of spirit to be so harsh on what other people like to listen to. It doesn’t have to be opera or nothing.
