Country Music Ya’ Say?

I say. I heard this lyrical gem today on L.A.’s hottest country music station:

“Rain makes corn. Corn makes whiskey. Whiskey makes my girl…(pause)…frisky.”

Incredible. I actually didn’t think I could be any more entertained by this song, especially after hearing the break, which repeatedly rang out with, “Rain is good!”, until I heard the chorus come around a second time:

“Rain makes corn. Corn makes whiskey. Whiskey make my girl….(pause….longer pause…is it coming?….say it’s coming….I can’t take it….) (Insert unexpected steel string guitar solo….)

Fucking brilliance. And I tell you. The third and final time that chorus came around, and he brought back the ‘frisky’, I was fucking slapping the steering wheel.

Country music man. You have to be lobotomized to relate to it, but shit man, it’s good.

About

What are we all about? Who knows? Who cares? It’s too soon to say. We are a slow brewing stew and have just set the proper heat under the stove. We have yet to add bits of carrot and celery and whatever Brazilian bullshit my counterpart would add to a stew. It will take time. Care, whimsy, procrastination, will all be added. Wrong ingredients will surely be added as well, but it is all ok. It’s a process. We will figure it all out in time and hopefully serve up something nourishing and if all goes right, delicious. In the meantime, let’s agree not to worry about, About.

As the resident country music fan, let me say that LW does not appreciate that song. That said, you will still find some good stories in country lyrics. Unfortunately most of the artists don’t write their own stuff.

Well I’m guessing then that LW doesn’t appreciate whiskey. Dude I’m not ragging on country. I dig it. I am further impressed that not only lyrics like this get made, but get airtime.

No those lyrics are pretty weak.

TW, don’t you think BN needs to check out Darrius Rucker.
