Do people actually care about country music?


I'm not being condescending, but it just seems like a dead genre. And the people who are into it are either too old, or are from the west.

I love country music. I can not get enough of it. I am 26 years old and I live in Texas. Yes, you are being condescending.

To the person that started this thread::::: Not sure where you live or how old you are or if you even get out of the house, but I can honestly say Country Music is a industry that is making millions and millions. To do that people have to be going to the concerts and buying the music and I dont see 80 yr old people going to the concerts. The young crowd for the past 20 years has been investing and loving the country music. I think Garth and around that time is when it all changed. Actually it started changing back with the movie Urban Cowboy and the show Dallas...then had a stall then came back in the 90's. Where have you been????? I am Rocker myself but grew up in Dallas listening to Merle Haggard among many other on the juke box at the VFW back in the 60's and 70's.

Well I was brought up on country music .. my daddy could play any instrument that was put in front of him ... I could clog long time before I could do the funky chicken .. Check out on U-tube The Delmore Brothers .. 2 songs come to mind " Blues Stay Away From Me " and "The Peach Tree Street Boogie " .. My daddy was in a small band that played square dances every weekend .. and when the twist became popular , I won the dance contest everytime .. other kids begged me to dance with them , so they would win the prize of one dollar ..By the time I was a teenager in the late 60's and the early 70's .. great time to be a teenager I might add .. well , I left country music behind ..It was the Beatles , the Stones , Rod Stewart .. I could go on and on ... As I got older I realized that my roots were in country music .. without it , I would not be the woman that I am today .. I guess my friend you have to have something to be apart of your life for it to be special .. but you still can respect it .. You can't be a true lover of music unless you can find good in all music .. I'm 57 and white , but you let MC Hammer come on the radio and I'm ready to bust a move .. and I can still dance just as good as a 16 year old can today .. Give other music a try my friend .. you just might find that you like " some " of it .
