Yep. We live in OKC suburb, but have ranch in SE Oklahoma. We're at Ranch at least 50% of our time. This is outside of a 2,400 person town. When you go into town to the grocery store, or tractor supply, or dollar general.... everyone you see under the age of about 35 or 40 has multiple tats, piercings, clothing to match, unkept, etc etc. I mean almost ALL of them. My experience tells me that in this day and age.... most small town country people are David Allen Coe's "poor white trash."
So you have those who actually have a job, like oil field job etc... and they do really good there. And the rest are on the government dole living government check to government check. In this little town, there isn't much middle class.
The world is just not what it used to be, and neither is Country Music.
“most small town country people are David Allen Coe’s “poor white trash.”
Seriously, why do you think it’s come to that. I’ve decided to accept the tattoos and piercings if they are good, hard working. They might look back on those body alterations as a mistake.
Are these those on the government dole capable of having a job?
