I'm not a huge country fan, but Urban's one I really like. He's really a rock guitarist. I bought Mrs. Choose Ye the live DVD of Keith Urban, and it is a fantastic concert.

He had a cocaine addiction in the past and wrote about how he licked it. I hope he'll be able to do the same with booze.

Well, of course, he is,(a rock guitarist) and that's the point. He isn't country, and that's why he's popular, but I digress...

I don't really mean to celebrate anyone's pain, but....the current suits in Nashville have done everything they can to separate themselves from country music, while pretending to be part of it. They have gone to great lengths to tell writers not to write stories, serious lyrics, you know, those songs about drinking and divorce and who knows what else - just to write those positive, upbeat, nothing, empty songs for a new generation of young people who supposedly haven't (and won't) experience those things. GUESS WHAT!!!! Human nature is what it is, and it's really funny to see the ones who pretend they're above what they perceive country to be, to fall into the very same trap.
