Who knew Darius Rucker was now a "country" "singer"? (I wish I could have found his CMA performance last night, but you get the idea.)
And Taylor Swift - I wish her time was up. Her opening number was an assault on both my eyes and ears.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I like country music like this:
And who doesn't love '80's country??? "Come on Kenny!" - Dolly

i agree with everything you said. also that taylor swift performance was like a joke. i couldn't believe my eyes or ears either. are all of her songs not about exactly the same thing...and don't they all sound just the same! WTF!!!!!
p.s. darius is sounding horrible these days! that is a total sell-out.
I agree on all accounts. While its cool to see a black guy who's accepted as a country star, I hate this culture war that is the backbone of every modern country song. "I ain't drinkin' champagne, I'm drinkin' beer. I don't drive a Mercedes, I drive a beat up pick-up truck." Not only are these songs divisive, they're totally dishonest because the people singing them are rich as hell. They're not hanging out in the country with a bunch of good ol' boys, they're hanging out in Nashville and LA at the 5-star hotels they claim to not need.
And don't get me started on Taylor Swift! I've never seen an artist who was so defined by marketing. She's no longer a person, she's a 20-year-old product.
Anyways, rant over. Patsy Cline had the best voice EVER.
I have to admit that I enjoy a little Taylor Swift here and there. And I thought she was funny (for the most part) on SNL. However, I think she has the stage presence of a total amateur, and I always get embarrassed for her when I see her onstage antics.
