LOL. I wonder how much this cost us?

Country music makes kids stupid," he said. "It's the mind- warping lyrics." And he cited a few examples drawn from what he called "some of the most popular country songs of the past two decades." And let's not forget that it also makes you violent and, so, should be banned immediately. Why, just look at some of the filth in Johnny Cash's songs:
Cocaine Blues - about taking drugs and shooting your wife/girlfriend
Delia's Gone - about killing your loved one
Wanted Man - about running from the law
Folsom Prison Blues - "I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die"
A Boy Named Sue - committing violence against a parent
Starkville City Jail - disrespect for law enforcement
San Quentin - disrespect for the penal system
Sure, he sings some gospel songs but we all know it's a cover so that he can poison the minds of music listeners.
I'm on to you, Johnny

You might be a redneck...

LOL!!! I only recognize a few of those songs. BTW the song I Meant Every Word That He Said is beautiful.

If Dr. Solett got the chance "to sit it out or dance..."
Why didn't he sit it out?
To: dead
If Dr. Solett gets another chance "to sit it out or dance..."
I hope he sits it out!

Old joke in these parts:
What do you get if you play a country song backwards? You get your job back, your truck back, your wife back, your trailer back, your dog back, and sober.
To: dead
This is laughable. That such a survey would even be conducted says more about Ivy-League twits than it does about those who listen to country music.
Some of my recent favorite country titles:
"You're Going To Ruin My Bad Reputation"
"You Ain't Much Fun Since I Quit Drinkin'"
"Old Enough To Know Better (Still Too Young To Care)"
To: dead
Sting weighs in:
"A doo-doo-doo, A dah-dah-dah,
That's all I have to say to you."
To: dead
Imus plays one sometimes with a title something like "I Never Had Trouble Finding Sad Lonely Women Until I Started Looking For Mine". Now THAT'S funny.
To: dead
What?
Huh?
I'm not certain I understand ....
Maybe if I have another generic beer before driving my 1972 Chevy truck over to my cousins house for some 'luvin' my head will clear up enough for me to figure this whole thing out ... if I can see through the smoke well enough to read it again that is.

I like "I built me a bar in the back of my car and I'm driving myself to drink". Don't remember who sang that one. Also love the Waylon Jennings album title: Too Dumb for New York City, Too Ugly for LA

They're still looking for "Bat Boy," I see....

ROTFL. Yep, that'll make your kid into an Einstein for sure.
To: dead
There are some true poets in country music.... Lyle Lovett for instance. "She's no Lady She's my Wife" is hysterical!

Then again you have to wonder, this past election, supposedly the most intellegent people voted for Al Gore. These people have attended the best schools money can buy, they live in the most expensive homes along the coast of this great nation and its largest cities. I mean he didn't win his own country music state of Tenn. Maybe his study was done using reverse IQ testology.

To: dead, Either/Or
I'm not from Muskogee, but Dr. Solett is sure as hell
Walkin' On The Fightin' Side Of Me! Damn good thing he didn't say something snotty about Merle Haggard...or Willie and Waylon...or Hank By God Williams!
Actually, the poor sap doesn't seem to realize that the lyrics he's quoting are either a.) fabricated, for the purposes of self-satirization or b.) performed as satires. Country music has the grace to laugh at itself.
Something this overbearing twerp doesn't have the wit to recognize and would never dream of doing to himself. To think that a "professor of music" would have less grace and wit than Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys.
But, as a master of satire yourself, dead, you would recognize this. And that's why you posted it. Thanks for the laugh.

This is the World Weekly News, not JAMA for crying out loud :).This is why we're taking it seriously. If it were published in JAMA, we'd know it was just the usual commie liberal do-gooder BS.
The World Weekly News, well, THAT's a journal of repute!
