One day they'll admit country music has changed. As it always does. There is no denying Jason Aldean or Luke Bryan are 2012 country music. That is fact. You may like their music or not. But they are modern day country music. Period.

---

In all honesty, I don't really care what they admit, believe, or listen to. Anyone who lives anywhere near reality knows what the deal is. Closed minded, illogical people don't interest me. People who don't give a shite about facts or about misrepresenting them, I have no time for, either.

Now, I'm going to listen to El Cerrito Place which was written by Keith Gattis, and I'm going to listen to Kenny Chesney's version, which is the best one recorded, EVAAARRRR !!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :cheers:

Incredulous obviously doesn't mean what you think it means because that statement makes no sense. Cotton and I are musical soul mates and he typed everything I was thinking. Not sure what's "incredulous" about that.

---

It is an adjective which means "unable to believe something," "in disbelief," or "unbelieving" in this context, and I am incredulous that you keep making incorrect inferences and inaccurate statements. Based on your misquoting my posts and stating incorrect information, your statement that you were right as usual was absolutely incredulous. Cotton has nothing to do with my post; nor do I have a clue why you are referring to him, here. You are who I am directly posting to, now, and previously.

And no, you didn't say that to Doc (I added that part myself), but you seemed incredulous of the fact that he had ever even been to a concert, let alone actually knows what he's talking about. And there was no emoticon, but that's neither here nor there..

---

Once again, incredulous. This :lol: is posted directly above the statement in which you are referring. I really don't know how you could miss it. I also do not know how you could miss the overt sarcasm in that statement; however, since you did, your "adding a part" to my original quote presents a problem. You changed the entire meaning into a literal one which was clearly not my intent. It seems in your rush to jump to Doc's defense against your erroneously perceived attack by me, you missed the joke.

I don't give a flying frick whether or not Kenny Chesney is your favorite artist to ever live. I just think it's hilarious that you're so pissed off over the fact that most of us happen to think he sucks. You're entitled to your opinion, does that same rule not apply to the rest of us?

---

You suck at reading people/posters. Yet another WRONG inference. I'm not nor have I been pissed off about any of this except being misquoted by you. As a matter of fact, you are the one taking an issue on a message board with an anonymous poster rather personally, getting all hysterical imagining your need to defend "Cotton," your musical soul mate, and "Doc" because you wanted to make sure I knew that he knew what he was talking about. That's a little odd. Quite frankly, zero fricks are given by me as to who likes what music, or who knows what about music. You, on the other hand, seem to care way too much.

The fact that you even typed this statement is incredulous.

quote:

You obviously know NOTHING about music

---

You're attributing an inference to me that I never made. You need to turn up your sarcasm detecting meter, or in your case, just look for the pictures. The little emoticons beside the posts will help you determine if something is meant as a joke, sarcastically, etc. Notice the lack of any here.

---

And Arazelle, you're right...El Cerrito Place was written by Keith Gattis. WHO IS STILL NOT KENNY CHESNEY. So your argument that KC is a great songwriter still sucks.

---

I am convinced that some people either do not read the posts they respond to, or their shitty comprehension skills are on the level of a two-year-old's.

Not one time in this entire thread have I ever stated that Kenny Chesney is a great songwriter. I have asserted that he is an incredible singer and performer who puts on amazing shows. I further stated that he has written thousands of songs and that his career began as a songwriter in Nashville. That is a statement of fact, not baseless opinion, which can easily be confirmed simply by using Google, something you might consider doing for future posts to prevent you from erroneously crediting songs to the wrong person. As for your misquoting posters, I suggest reading the damn posts before you type.

because the music being made now isn't country music. and more people being fans is pretty meaningless

---

Oh, well, I suppose someone should tell the Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association that they are handing out the wrong awards to the wrong people; let country music radio stations know they're playing the wrong music; and while they're at it, even tell the folks at the Grand Ole Opry that they're having the wrong artists perform night after night.

Just because you don't like the country music that's being made, now, doesn't mean it isn't country music; and the fact that more people are fans of country music, today, than ever before, is extremely meaningful. It shows that the powers that be in Nashville finally got a clue that to get a more mainstream, broader fan base, they had to let country music artists have more creative control and exert more individual style over the music they make or choose and record. Not everyone enjoys straight traditional or outlaw country, and not every country artist or songwriter falls into one of those two categories. They broadened the definition of country music to include contemporary country music. If this appeals to a wider variety of listeners ranging from soccer moms to teenage boys living in gated communities, so what? It doesn't make it any less country.
It sounds like a bunch of pissed off men bitching and griping that people with different outlooks are being let into their "He-Man Woman Haters' Club." Relax, you still have your country music, and, now, so do we.

Ok, you're either retarded or trolling

:rotflmao:

Not saying Strait and Haggard aren't great, but there can only be one of each of them, just like there can only be one George Jones or Johnny Cash. Most artists who tried to copy them didn't have as successful of careers, and their music wasn't as good.

Country music can have more than just extremely traditional or outlaw sub-categories and still fall into the genre of country. Individual styles shouldn't be considered a bad thing.

It seems to me, country music fans would be happy about the fact that there are more people listening to the music and becoming familiar with all styles of it than ever before. I have never understood why traditional and outlaw country music fans dislike having a variety of country music styles which thereby creates a broader fan base. It's just very closed-minded and illogical to me, and obviously, I'm not alone in that way of thinking.

Apparently, you don't get out much. There are millions of us. :nana: :dude: :jump2: :jump1:

Eta: Had VIP passes & floor seats to Kenny's & Tim's concert this summer in Nashville @ Titan Stadium. AMAZING SHOW.

Like I said...anyone can sing a song.

No, apparently, anyone cannot sing a song.

Charlie Robison's horrible voice destroyed Keith Gattis's El Cerrito Place. Due to Robison's flat, monotone, lack-of-range vocals, his version previously held a top 5 spot on the list, "how to screw up a beautiful song." The fact that anyone thinks he is a talented singer is LAUGHABLE. It took Kenny Chesney's knowledge of production and amazing voice to resurrect this incredible song and give it the soulful, haunting tone it was intended to have, and undo the damage Robison did to it.

It's the lyrics, composition, production, and delivery that make it powerful.

FIFY


Eta: Although Charlie Robison recorded "El Cerrito Place," first, in 2004, Keith Gattis wrote the song. Gattis, obviously, disliked Robison's unfortunate, unsuccessful version because he put it on his second album, "Big City Blues" in 2005. This is what I mean when I say people should do the research before presenting something as fact.

You adore Kenny Chesney

All that proves is that millions of people have terrible taste.

Haha! It's always funny to me when people who are outnumbered exponentially (based on millions of tickets & albums sold) actually suggest it's the majority who are wrong.

Thank God for Kenny Chesney and his awesome talent & foresight into country music. He was able to carve out a niche for himself and bring something fresh and innovative, not to mention bring millions of new fans, into a genre of music that was old, tired, stagnant, and dying. He must be doing lots of things right because decades later, he's still cranking out number one hits and selling out football stadiums, which no other artist of any genre can do as consistently as KC. Fact.
