me: Why are we listening to bad country music?
mo: Because we’re in Texas.
me: Can we pretend we’re someplace where the music doesn’t suck?
note to self: never listen to songs about pickup trucks before 11 a.m.

You need to listen to country music backwards…that way, you get your wife back, your dog back, your job back, your truck back, and you walk OUT of the bar…
I love country music!! I rocked out to some Garth Brooks bright and early at 6 am this morning getting ready for work.
When I was in Austin a few weeks ago my friend made us listen to bad country music too. I feel Mo’s pain.
At least she’s embracing the surroundings. but i’m with you: no country music before 11am.
We have a Texas Country Band coming to the Hamilton County Fair in Aurora next month. The Casey Danahew Band. I too will be able to listen to bad Texas Country right here in Nebraska.
