The truth? Because everyone under the age of 65 would have run screaming from Jerry’s House. I could last maybe 30 seconds of geriatric country.
Country music in general is a bad bet. And by that I mean marketing suggests that more people have negative reactions to country music and country singers than any other genre including rap. I know that it holds true for most everyone I know. Check out some social networking sites and see just how many people put “Anything but country” under music. You’ll be surprised.
I might not be as surprised as you imagine but I do consider it evidence of the devolution of the country. Anyone who prefers gangster rap to honky tonk music definitely needs psychiatric help;>)
