Well, it is country music, so what does the author expect? It is not exactly a genre geared towards intellectuals.
Most people who hate country music are not intellectual but rather urban snobs who think they are better than rural folk.
People aren’t supposed to enjoy anything unless it is approved by elitist smart*sses like this jerk.
I doubt he would ‘lower’ himself to attend a country music concert BUT I WILL! He can sit around delving into his world of ‘knowledge’ and I’ll enjoy listening to country *sses like Blake Shelton...YEE HAW!
