He joined the Brookings Institution then got put in charge of the Atlantic Council, so it doesn't seem likely that he's planning on a second midlife crisis presidential candidacy. At least not as a Republican. There's always a revived Americans Elect.

I'm mostly just looking for the safest option at this point because I'm a timid and unadventurous person. Not sure if it works the same way in Australia but if you're dead set on getting a masters in a business field the smart play is to go ahead and find a job now and finagle your way into getting them to pay for the masters.

Their marketing department was pretty clever. They never let themselves get put into the Christian rock ghetto but they did tacitly market themselves as being safe for Christians to listen to similar to Trouble back in the 80s.

Discendo Vox posted:The use implying a distinction, inasmuchas "y'all" is singular, is used only in the minority, divides rather than unites interpretation, impedes clarity of sinugular meaning, and is a classic example of the sort of Southern cultural barbarism and general inhumanity that made Sherman's march to the sea entirely justified. You should probably lay off the drugs for a while.

Popular Thug Drink posted:Bro-country is the same thing, except for regressive young southern men who grew up listening to 90's era gangster rap and Garth Brooks at the same time. From a production standpoint it's basically a continuation of 80s buttrock. It's not a coincidence a lot of hair metal acts from back then have gotten second careers as country performers- Bon Jovi, Tom Keifer, Vince Neil, Ron Keel, etc. Dirt posted:What about all the popular bluegrass bands now? quote:They are more like a Bluegrass band sorta mixed with a hippie jamband kinda thing. That's pretty much it. After I guess Phish or whoever quit touring for a while a lot of those people latched on to bluegrass, and there's a lot of festivals like Merlefest which take place near hippie-filled college towns.

Popular Thug Drink posted:Yes. What most people think of as country music is just processed pop poo poo with a southern accent and a fiddle in the background - that's where Nashville's been headed for decades. That's always been how Music Row worked. They started by incorporating cheesy string sections in the early rock 'n roll era to lure in listeners who preferred crooners and pop standards, and were turned off by rockabilly and race music. Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, etc. got big by putting on arena rock shows right when that sort of thing was in decline elsewhere. Nowadays it's four on the floor electronic beats, heavier multitracked guitars, and the occasional rap verse. Throw a twang on top of it with the Markov chain lyric generator and you got a hit. I'm sure in a few more years they'll start using dubstep drops and metalcore breakdowns.

ReindeerF posted:Alabama was required to have a Workin' Class Workin' Man's song on every album. They were also required to have at least one New Deal song, which is reflective of the fact that they came up as Southern Democrats (something you don't hear a lot of in country today!). The lyrics to Song of the South would have teabaggers steamrolling Alabama CDs (can you even buy CDs anymore?) across Red America. Yeah the only other big time band that mined similar territory was pre-crash Skynyrd, and it'd be career suicide if they wrote something like Things Goin' On today.
