This is a personal opinion and therefore, I do not want hate mail from fans CW, which I know are fanatical and omnipresent. I have my favorites, from a male chauvinist perspective. I think Shania Twain and Faith Hill sexy and I enjoy a few of their videos plus a number of their songs. But it is because they are big country western star? No way. I have a problem to listen to most of the CW stuff, because it all started to sound the same. I can not tell a Randy Travis, Tim McGraw, Toby Keith or Alan Jackson song apart if my life depended on it.
I grew up on the Jersey Shore and many of you can, I think that such a decision to unconditionally. But wait. I the past 30 years in Arizona. Is the country or more Western than that? You know, the home of Tombstone, Wyatt Earp, and where the "Little House on the Prairie" was filmed.
So I'm a transplant with an attitude. Do not get me wrong, because I've given it a try. My deceased wife was from West Virginia, and at its mid-life crisis, CW started playing music continuously for five years. We had all the CDs, preset radio stations, and even looked at the CW Awards on television. I could recognize all the big names, the latest hits, which was new to the scene. Through all this, I tried to enjoy the sound, for her own good. But eventually I went back to my classic rock and roll, jazz and blues.
I play the harmonica and have oodles of keyboard and sheet music. I've tried to play a few of the recent CW popular songs, but in vain. I have some of the older classics that CW crept into mainstream by Ernie Ford and Johnny Cash, but they are few and far between. The current numbers have become a formula that is fodder for Jeff Foxworthy and his ilk. According to people like him are as follows:
You start with a sad premise. You lost your (fill in the blank), ie, girl, dog, pick-up truck. They were your first love, companion, way of freedom. You remember them: smile, wagging tail, leather seats. You wish you could, again, feel them: hair, fur, gun rack. You really miss them, smell, smell, smell. You would do anything to get them back: tell her you love her, rub her cute little belly, (or I that reversed?) Hose's engine compartment. While you're waiting for them to return, you need: your own laundry, take your own paper, walk to the liquor store. In other words, it's not a pretty sight.
So my gripe with CW. They change the harmony, the text and the pace, but the message is clear. I long for a total change of pace where I 'Satisfaction' or 'Light My Fire can. But I have issues with Hip-Hop, Rap, and grunge. So, let's say I got problems and be done with it. And for all you CW fans there, stick with your music and not let one Basher as I tune you, pardoning the pun. And did I mention the two things I do not happy about Dolly Parton?
