Fuck that guy.
I'm from Texas and lived there most of my life. I only moved here a few years ago. I'm a "long term" southerner, for sure, if 40 years counts as "long term." |

I listen to everything except country. But I guarantee I'm more southern or "country" than that fucking guy or any other bullshit singer. I hate that crap.

First of all, 2 Live Crew and Pitbull represent the actual south.

In case it went over your head, which for many of you it apparently did, Alan is making fun of Pop people who cashed in on country during the 90s boom. Each stanza is him impersonating another carpet-bagger telling their spouse that country music is easy, we can move there and will be okay because those Southerners aren't near as retarded as they used to be, etc....
He is a BIG defender of traditional country music. Listen to his song about Murder on Music Row with King George....another big critic of the woke, pop-rap-country bs.... |

That's funny, because he made a career of making highly-processed pop-country music with a fake accent... and butchering blues songs. He did it earlier, but that doesn't make his cheesy music any better. |

Alan Jackson is okay. Not my favorite, by any means, but not horrible. He had some good songs, and was played alot during the 90s.
My dad and stepmother used to see him around Franklin when he lived there. I never did, but I was only in Nashville during the summers when I was a kid. I don't think the locals had anything negative to say about him. |

I'm a few years younger than Alan and didn't hang around with his group but I remember when he waited tables at Sprayberry's Barbecue and sold cars at the Ford dealer here. Used to drive by his house everyday on the way home and my mother and his were good friends. Oh, my wife rear ended his dad's pickup on day when he was turning into his driveway without using his blinker.
I like his music.

I liked his gospel music, but I wish he would have sang longer versions of them.
Reminded me of a Church of Christ worship service...."we will sing the first and third verse only". Lol |

Wait, so are you insinuating that it wasn’t backward to own people, then later segregate people and restrict civil rights based on their skin complexion?
Because I’m fairly certain that’s the “backward” old Alan is referring to. It’s sort of indefensible… But I’m sure someone here will try, because it’s GD after all. |

Or maybe he was talking about boiled peanuts, putting peanuts in your coke, or spreading used motor oil on your fenceline to keep it clean. But you can make it about race if that's your fetish. |
