Country Music

I somewhat hate country music.

JK

Dear Country music,

Why do you exist?

How do you even exist?

I know the guitar, and I know the drums

but I have no idea why you were invented.

All the poor pianos that you've whaled on

All the microphones that have replicated your tones

How can they stand it?

 

Blues was here,

Rock was there,

Folk and Bluegrass, too

but then you showed up

and ruined Midwest's music.

 

"I would like to play Bluegrass"

say your dear children, "But it's too hard."

They diligently complain.

"I'll let you play Bluegrass"

you tell the fools plainly,

"And Rock and blues too."

And you say as you smile,

"You won't even need talent!"

 

 

They smile right back as they

Climb on the shoulders

of the musicians before,

Who knew not who you were.

Author's Note

I don't apologize to all the country fans.

Reviews

[Relic]

I like some of the old country music. It was simple. Today's country music is too commercial and poppish. The bands/solo artists suck.

[Joshua Kepfer]

I actually agree with that.
