Try listening to country music from that time and compare it to now.

It makes me want to slit my wrists.

You're right. The huge majority of "country" singers today are nothing more than pop singers with cowboy hats. Not a single Johnny Cash or Merle Haggard type among them.

But don't slit your wrists just yet. After Carter came Reagan, and the country turned around. We may see a repeat of that in 2012.

Country music is now popular music. They moved to fill a niche, now that move has left me with a hole in my radio.
