I was out in Texas and Oklahoma and visited some gift shops. Very difficult to find public domain/ trad. Songs of the west. I found one CD. Other than that, all singers ignore Buffalo Skinners, a folk song.

The Arlo version is out of print, I found Rambling Jack Elliott CD

Something about that chick bothers me. I'm not sure what it is.

I don't like her music. I just hate that bubblegum music, and I can't even really count it as "country" music.

She writes or co-writes all of her songs. To me, music is all about the lyrics. Done if hers have really touched me.

I'm just crotchety about the double suicide of Rock n' Roll and Country Music. They really don't exist anymore.

Bye bye Miss American pie.... :sigh:

Countrier Than Thou, Countrier Than Thou
You weren't raised in a shack so you better not act so
Countrier Than Thou

Some people just don't understand it if you come from where the kudzu grows
They think the south is like a planet of peckerwoods and bozos
When I was young I picked some tubers even took a swig of moonshine
But I never saw so many goobers until the day I crossed that line

Countrier Than Thou, Countrier Than Thou
You wasn't born in a cave so you better not behave so
Countrier Than Thou

Down at the bar a-spinnin Haggard he wore a Johnny Reb tattoo
Overalls he spat and swaggered, lord he was a Boston Jew
He loved bluegrass oh, brother when I said Shania he sneered
"That's a word I wouldn't know of We like to keep it down-home up here"

Countrier Than Thou, Countrier Than Thou
You aint never read your bible, tell me why's your vibe all
Countrier Than Thou

Home is nice and Dixie's nice and everyone likes a thing that's nice
But everybody likes you better by far when you are what you are

Not a hillbilly dilletante, fair weather hick, demi-something (clyde, clod), faux po'folks, well-readneck...
Robert-E.-come-lately hayseed wanna-be undercover Yankee...
Mississippi Ph. D., Alabamateur, 50% less Tarheel armchair Arkansan

He's got a ranch he wears a Stetson he's a hip-shooting ex-oil king
He even talks like Buddy Ebsen but he's sitting in the West Wing
Frankenstein I'm well aware of but won't somebody please explain
How you get a county sherrif walking with a fratboy's brain

Countrier Than Thou, Countrier Than Thou
Well you went to Andover What's the banjo fer?
Countrier Than Thou

Yeah, Countrier Than Thou
You wasn't raised in a shack so you better not act so
Countrier Than Thou
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

The Net is best considered analogous to communication with disincarnate intelligences. As any neophyte would tell you. Do not invoke that which you have no facility to banish.

But here’s the thing about rights. They’re not actually supposed to be voted on. That’s why they’re called rights. ~Rachel Maddow August 2010

The Second Amendment forms a fourth branch of government (an armed citizenry) in case the government goes mad. ~Larry Nutter
