If you ask someone what kind of music they like, and they answer "everything", this actually means "everything but country".
Because, just so we're clear, Country Music is not music. Suuuree, they write some actually decent and poetic lyrics and even the music videos can have some artistic merit, and half the singers are considered hot by the average person....but that's like throwing together mayo, bananas, croutons, chilli and the random container of left overs that's been in the back of the fridge for too long and you're like "hey...was this from christmas?" and he's like "no we had ham at christmas, the turkey was from thanksgiving" and you're like "but it's yellow and blue now. not like turkey." and he's like "yeah, i dunno. just leave it there in case it comes in handy when we need to prank the neighbour for being too loud, or use it at some truth or dare party which we frequently throw." all into the same sandwich and chowing down: all those things certainly have value (even the mystery meat), and can be used in the right ways, but lets leave the food preparing to the experts -- i.e., anyone else.
So back off, country musicians, and let the other genres make the musical sandwiches. And if anyone dare say otherwise, YOU can eat the back-of-the-fridge delight. I dare you. (see it's value, now? A threat!)
As a side note, our neighbours are not too loud. In fact, we don't see or hear enough of them. As I was playing guitar on the steps today, singing away, a girl from next door walked over, beer in hand, and simply said "i'm coming to listen." She sat down, and I said, "cool...i'll play you a new song i've been working on." and then I did. Then we had a really nice talk about ranchlands, and a band called Kids Playing Heroes that we both coincidentally are friends with. Why can't things like this happen more often? This made my day.
