We grazed by this on another thread but these days there really does
not seem to be much old time country music. It has evolved into pop
singers like Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift. There are a lot of
guys doing things in the vein of the Eagles and other soft rockers
from the 70s and 80s. Then you have guys like Colt Ford who have a hip
hop sound, rapping songs about waving the flag and celebrating rural
living instead of killing cops and abusing women like the original
rappers.
We saw Colt Ford this evening at a free open air concert in Bonita
along with a couple local bands and a "Voice" runner up (Rae Lynn).
The interesting thing is all of my old 60s Motown dance moves still
work with his music. The beat seems to be very similar.
One thing about country is there does seem to be a lot of music in
their music. It has changed from the old "twang and trains and hill
billy thing" (Trace Adkins line).



Wow. Songs about waving the flag and rural living...just wow. I don't
listen to rap, either.

And you don't partake in waving the flag or rural living, right?

Nope. It's semi-rural around here, of course, but not the real rural
boonbocks. And no, I'm not one of those racists who waves the flag and
hates many of the ethnic or racial groups that live in this country.

Maryland wasn't really the country when I lived there and it got more
gentrified in the intervening 33 years. Even St Marys county, about as
rural as it gets is still starting to look like a suburb of DC. The
exception might be in the core of the Eastern shore, back away from
either coast but that is s skinny chunk of real estate.
Harry may not even understand what I am talking about, being a
Connecticut yankee who spent a little time in a Kansas college town.


Once again, your blinders are showing.

When I lived in New Haven, much of Connecticut was rural. In fact, one
of the girls I dated in high school was the daughter of a fellow who ran
a large and successful truck farm and poultry enterprise just north of
the New Haven city limits. There were dozens of small farms in the
greater New Haven area.

Where I lived in Kansas was rural and later when I worked for The Star,
I was regularly getting myself assigned to agricultural stories, and
these usually were "way out there" in Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska.

Virtually every time you posit your thoughts about what I am
thinking...you are wrong.

I only reflect the thoughts you write. Whenever a conversation of a
rural area comes up, you **** on it. Didn't you just say you would be
willing to lose everything south of DC except a few areas that are
basically extensions of northeastern cities?

It isn't because they are "rural," if by that you mean relatively un or
under developed.

You seem to gravitate to places that are developed in the northern
style like the east coast of florida.
Those people pretty much all come down I-95 or US1/301/17 before that.

I gravitate towards places with nice beaches, scenery, restaurants,
shops, not overly crowded, et cetera.

I guess the difference is that I don't care about restaurants and
shopping opportunities because if they were that good, they would be
crowded. But you already said you didn't mind a crowded beach and
congested channels when you boat. You were made for the "gold coast"
of Florida and Long Island Sound. I bet you are even OK up around
Annapolis but I bet Tangier is a little too rural for you..
