craig 680 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Well, it's the most patriotic genre of music. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctherainbow 3,154 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Well, it's the most patriotic genre of music. Many argue that it's TOO patriotic, and fosters blind nationalism. Others, including myself(though I recognize its flaws) think that it boosts national pride, and, coupled with country social values, promotes a sense of civic duty. What do you think?

craig 680 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I;m down with it as a post-911 song where the US had been attacked and was going after Al Quada. Some wars are mistakes (Iraq 2003), but some are necessary.Anyway, It's a well-written song and the majority of entertainers are on the left-liberal side, so it's something different.

craig 680 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 JoWell said. Do you have any other favorite country songs?Well, Johnny Cash is likely the greatest classic male country artist. Ring of Fire:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It7107ELQvYHe did did concerts for guys in prison.

Riot Poof 2,236 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Being a Latino from Connecticut, me listening to country seemed unlikely. Then I decided to give the genre a chance, and it turns out that there are plenty of songs that I like! I'm definitely interested in learning more about country. I like this kind of country: This kind of country sounds a lot like folk music (which makes sense). I dig it a lot. As for bro-country, I'm not a huge fan. I love Sam Hunt tho, and I'm a fan of Thomas Rhett too. In regards to these two songs, it helps that they incorporate other genres as well. Anyone like alt country? I dig Neko Case. I'm also very interested in Carrie Underwood. I love her voice, and I hope I can get into her music. idk if this particular song is country enough, but it's my favorite from Carrie. Overall, I think it's weird that a lot of people are like "I listen to all kinds of music... except for country." Country has songs that can serve as gateways to those who are new to the genre, as seen in this post. I'm not a woman. I'm not a man. I am something that you'll never understand.

Riot Poof 2,236 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 But honestly I think Shakira was the reason I gave country a chance. During her first season on The Voice, she said that she loved country, and she claimed that country's becoming more popular with Latinxs. I was probably thinking "Well, if Shakira listens to country, then I can most certainly listen to it as well." BUT I must admit that country that's heavy on patriotism, beer, Jesus, etc. turns me off. I just wasn't raised in that environment, so it's very... weird to me. I'm not a woman. I'm not a man. I am something that you'll never understand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riot Poof 2,236 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 This song hits me in the heart. idk why my 6th grade self was researching murdered children, but that was what I was doing. And the tribute videos usually featured this song. I'm not a woman. I'm not a man. I am something that you'll never understand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
