Long Live the the music of Bob Wills, Ernest Tubb and Hank Snow...and many others including a pot full of Bluegrass groups...of course, still think Hendrix and Clapton are great and no serious "pop" been created since the Eagles broke up...then there's the Blues.. :-)
there appears to be the beginings of a "sea change" in some quarters. The CW music and fan base has always been stalwart and for that deserves much praise.
But there is this kind of thing starting up from the "speed metal-rap" type as well.
These are the lyrics of a song by Stuck Mojo called "Open Season" (not exactly work safe so I edited a bit)
Open Season
Music: Ward
Lyrics: Aborn, Nelson
String Arrangement: Eric Frampton
I speak peace when peace is spoken, But I speak war when your hate is provoking, The season is open 24-7-365, Man up yo time to ride, No need to hide behind slogans of deceit, Claiming that you're a religion of peace, We just don't believe you, We can clearly see through, The madness that you're feeding your people, Jihad the cry of your unholy war, Using the willing, the weak and poor, From birth drowning in propaganda, rhetoric and slander, All we can say is damn ya
My forefathers fought and died for this here
I'm stronger than your war of fear
Are we clear?
If you step in my hood
It's understood
It's open season
I don't need a faith that's blind, Where death and hate bring me peace of mind, With views that are stuck deep in the seventh century, So much sand in your eyes to blind to see, The venom that you leaders preach, Is the path to your own destruction, Your own demise, You might say that I don't understand but your disgust for me is what I realize, Surprise!
Your homicidal ways has got the whole world watching, Whole world scoping, So if you bring it to my home base, Best believe it, The season's open
I see you, Hell yeah I see you, M
...and swing.
