mr. mephistopheles posted:Jesus Christ just listen to some Sturgill Simpson and shut the gently caress up about country music or make a thread for it. Nah BiggerBoat posted:I was thinking about this the other day watching "Decades". It's a show where they go back and replay the news stories and footage of the current date and highlight things that were going in past years. Well it is just like how people love to talk about random spikes in violent crime despite violent crime being at historic lows. In NYC some people were flipping their poo poo about how violent the city was getting despite the city being on a multi-year downward trend in violent crime. And of course, it was poo poo like the NY Post and other similar outlets that were feeding the narrative that the city was growing more dangerous.

beatlegs posted:They do all that stuff then in the next breath claim to be patriots and followers of Christ, as if that puts them above the behavior. Like most conservatives these days, they want the right to act like selfish assholes while claiming the moral high road. I read an article awhile back where a journalist interviewed ISIS recruits, and discovered that few of them knew the first thing about Islam, which they identified as their lives and identities rather than as any sort of belief system. It reminded me of rather a lot of Christians.

Babylon Astronaut posted:I don't give a single gently caress about country music, but it is clearly right wing media. Maybe you could find something else to talk about that people may want to engage in? Conflating an entire genre of music with a political ideology is a gigantic stretch at best and while there have been some interesting posts about cultural identity relating to country music the good majority of it has been idiots discussing the artistic merit of good music vs bad music within the genre which has been little more than a hurr hurr "hip hop vs rap" style internet discussion with no relation to politics.

computer parts posted:Actually that is another good point, there's plenty of apocalyptic 50s & 60s fiction that was promised. You're just as likely to be promised a Fallout esque nuclear wasteland as Leave it to Beaver but with flying cars. It's important to remember that Star Wars was so big partly because at the time a sci-fi movie that wasn't about how man would play God and destroy everything was a real change of pace.

The Ape of Naples posted:Part of the NY Post losing its poo poo is because DeBlasio, a democrat, is the mayor. It's just funny/depressing how many people buy into it. No less than half of the people that I KNOW vote democrat 100% eat up the NY Post anti-Deblasio hype. It is probably more than half. Living here is really why I love seeing how conservatives try desperately to paint dems and liberals as some singular amorphous blob. NY democrats are pretty goddamned conservative when it comes down to it. I know very few definitively left leaning NYers (and only a few more strict conservatives), compared to the vast majority of moderate conservatives and centrists who don't realize where they fall on the political spectrum because they vote D. They love to laugh at Republicans but constantly complain about taxes, "thugs", Deblasio, welfare queens, etc. ToastyPotato fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Jan 25, 2016 |

ToastyPotato posted:Nah Yeah, even people who aren't in right-wing circles easily buy into this, they just typically qualify "gun" before "violence epidemic" despite steadily decreasing rates. It's not too surprising, one of the biggest changes of the last 20 years is 24-hour news channels and internet feeds meaning that anything can get a constant drum of coverage.

I missed countrychat but this is a great modern country song IMHO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ub9jYLcb0Y There's good music in every genre. Radio just gravitates towards the most banal and generic. Disregarding country as a genre because of Florida Georgia Line and Eric Church is like disregarding rock as a genre because of Mumford & Sons and Nickleback.

Pope Guilty posted:I read an article awhile back where a journalist interviewed ISIS recruits, and discovered that few of them knew the first thing about Islam, which they identified as their lives and identities rather than as any sort of belief system. It reminded me of rather a lot of Christians. I'm pretty sure they caught western ISIS recruits on the way to Syria with half-read copies of Islam for Dummies in their luggage. Way too many people of all religions treat it as a gang affiliation rather than a positive, guiding philosophy on life. Not sure if this guy counts as country or not (more folk/blues) but William Elliott Whitmore is pretty good. http://youtu.be/C9axGUdvV2c Not too many country songs have "he don't need no water, let the motherfucker burn" in the lyrics sheet.

I guess the memo went out for the right wing idealogues in regards to how to attack Bernie Sanders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ0SM3iIv7U I'm seeing people starting to call Bernie Sanders a "facist" amongst other things. Because I mean there's one thing a jewish person is definitly comparable to, would be that of a nazi. Also guys, I don't know how we can afford to have single payer healthcare and free college in this country? That's what the guy on the radio told me! I mean it's not like we can't cut Millitary spending, and close dumbass tax loopholes!! FuzzySkinner fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Jan 25, 2016 |

Just this post and that's it: Growing up in the 70's I spent a lot of time in the car with my mother. Back then, Country & Western music was real country music, and it's all she listened to. I didn't care for it, but I know how it sounds. Now, I sometimes find myself in someone's car listening to the "Country" FM station and I can say with total certainty that it is not country music. It's Rock'n'Roll music with a violin and or mandolin thrown into the instrumentation, and a rural poo poo-kickin' singer with a southern twang singing about getting a beer, gettin' down with country attitude, and general being the real America. I still don't care for it (actually I find it extremely distasteful now, but I'm an old), but I know rock when I hear it. That's rock music.

My favorite part of that indictment is that the DA's wording is sooooooo similiar to when other DA's have to announce no idictment on egregious police shootings. As if they had to brace the community for the news and assure them that it wasn't their fault, its that darned grand jury!

I just heard someone on MSNBC/MTP Daily say "To me the success of Bernie Sanders is really sad because it shows the failures of our education system that we don't teach Soviet history and the harm of socialism." To MSNBC's credit everyone laughed at her and she seemed to feel slightly embarrassed.

Maybe The DA seems to be pretty apologetic about the whole thing, but maybe its just a front? I mean last year it seemed like a DA could spike anything and get away with blaming it on a GJ. I have to assume there's some reason the GJ got away from him in an EXTREME manner or they actually did orchestrate this turnaround. Or maybe the whole thing was egregious enough that there was no denying....but still, if the DA wants it dead at any time I thought they had the power to do so, practically, if not ethically. I'm leaning towards the DA being sincerely sorry but I really want to know exactly how this conclusion came along because god daaaaamn.
