In the summer there are lots of people sunning and swimming in the canal (yes, it is quite clean) and that is just lovely. However, every other day somebody bring a soundbox to the deck and play loud music. I do not mind there is music and not even that it is loud, but it is TERRIBLE music and that pisses me off. My taste in music is just different from these people and that makes all the difference.<br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-51842351699250771972022-02-18T19:27:44.020+02:002022-02-18T19:27:44.020+02:00I'm kind of in the same place with this, and I...I'm kind of in the same place with this, and I struggle with Altman sometimes. Nashville is a worthy watch, though.<br /><br />As far as country music goes, there's country and there's country. If you look at some of the classic stuff--Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, and the like, there's a lot to love. Classic country is about life and love and pain and sorrow, and a lot of artists have country roots. Fire up Warren Zevon's Carmelita sometime and listen to how much hurt is there, and you get why older country can get hooks into you. <br /><br />The modern stuff about drinkin' and trucks and how great 'Murica is? That's solid crap.

Likely because there is a lifestyle associated with it that you may or may not buy into, as if it comes with a set of values you need to accept. Maybe that is the case for most music really, just more than average for country music.<br />I do not think this ruins this movie, on the contrary, it is part of the point I think, but there were time where I felt like muting the sound.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-42955558116622395082022-02-18T08:17:57.737+02:002022-02-18T08:17:57.737+02:00I don't like country music either though I rea...I don't like country music either though I really hate country music from the past 25 years unless it's Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson. I only go to Patsy Cline, the Highwaymen, Loretta Lynn, Crystal Gale, and whoever did that "redneck mother" song.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
