Answer 1

"The positive aspects of Country Music"

"It's sixteen-fifty for a bottle of Jack

No pouring out your heart to some high dollar quack

Just a flip of the wrist and you're gettin' it done

And gettin' just as messed up and havin' a lot more fun"

"I can hardly stand to look at you it makes me want to cry

get your tongue out of my mouth because I'm kissing you goodbye!"

People are so quick to judge country music as people getting drunk, driving truck, getting all mud, losing their wife or husband, hick music or better known as "redneck" music, divorces, cheating and the singers own depression. These are people's own opinions.Many people view country music as "no depression" music. They view country music as happy lifestyle.The barefoot, blue jean, pick-up truck, dirt road/backwoods ideas promote happier lifestyles. Country music fans define the genre of music as "feel good music", because it doesn't matter if you're religious, a "redneck", close with your family, in love, upset due to heartache of a break up or divorce, or simply looking to have a good time, country music has something every human being can relate to described in the genre of music's song lyrics. (Wolfe pg. 68)

Nashville country music stars that make up the heart of country music background's recording establishment have a do it "their way" kind of style of approaching the music genre.The writers capture the idiosyncratic (personal approach) way of doing things that are known as country music. Country music prides itself on the working class.The People who work for a living.Hard working citizens that work hard to make a living, but enjoy life. Many country music stars have a "write it like you talk it" style as well.The way they speak, and what they wear, their hobbies such as hunting, fishing, or maybe mudding even, or what they drive outside their music careers, influence the way the make their music greatly.The music comes from the heart, personal or past experiences, making the way they make music more passionate and fun.The music seems to "flow". The way the music effects people, is the people can feel and understand what the artist is saying, or envision what the music is saying through experiences. (Price pg. 143)

Country music is deemed, or considered to be the music genre that is noticeably easier to understand.The words are spoken in a tone easier to comprehend."Most of the people I know who like it say it's the only music they can listen to and understand the words," says Christine Marchell, a 39 year old New York financial analyst who drank white wine while listening to a country music band called Little Texas. "As soon as I admitted I liked country music, I was amazed at the number of people who said they liked it too," Marchell says. Why has country music quickly become cool, even up here in the north where people still view country as pickup trucks and cowboys, and being faithful to your man? "The songs aren't about truck drivers anymore.They're not tear-in-your-beer songs anymore.They're not cowboy songs anymore.They're just songs about life," says Johnny Michael, a program director at WYNY-FM in New York, a station that once was a station of all adult contemporary music, that quickly switch to just country music in 1987, and now has a listening audience of over 1,000,000,000 listeners in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey.
