Bone of Contention
Suzanne may blog about it more, but the trip to Ohio was a resounding success. An almost unqualified success. I met Suzanne's family, hung with some of mine and generally had a wonderful time!
Almost unqualified only because Suzanne's dad and I were not able agree in every area. We found that two well meaning, good natured, reasonable people could still completely disagree on an issue of utmost vitality:
Country music.
I'm not a fan. I hesitate to even call it "Country music" because calling it music is too generous.
To clarify, what I hate is mainstream "Pop-Country". The lyrics are too clever and cutesy and formulaic. The music is bland and lifeless.
Bluegrass and Johnny Cash and Kenny Rogers and rockabilly on the other hand are tasty. Twangy Tasty.
Anybody with me on this one?
