A friend recently shared a link on Facebook, about some new "country music" hot shot shooting his mouth off about the old Country and Western artists, and those who still listen to older country music, referring to them as "old farts" and "jackasses". Yeah. It is fucking on. Or so you might wish. This shit has been hovering around for a long time. We've been due a Battle Royale between the traditionalists and what's being called country these days. It's like calling Blondie punk rock. Worse. Yet, this little episode will probably be forgotten. That's too bad, because for as long as this old country vs new country dynamic has existed, there has never been a better time for the shit to hit the fan. With all the social media and viral this and that, it's high time for this debate to get legs outside of hardcore country crowd. There's a link to the article below. For now, one Hank, and a reminder about Rocky-52. I'm not through with this.
