3. I like the fact that shes a complete train wreck of a human being. I wouldnt have it any other way. If you're going to have millions of people listening to your music about how you wont go to rehab, youd better be smoking crack, getting emphazema (sp.), and forgetting words.

4. You're attacking how fake pop singers are, yet you're complaining that Amy Winehouse's hair is "crap"? What?

5. Soooo "Achy-Breaky Heart" is musical gold I take it?

I just really hate Amy Winehouse as a person. Pop singers are meant to be role models. She's just a model to use of "what not to be". She may be real, but in reality she sucks.

'achy breaky heart' is a good song, I really like it, I do like a good bit of country music if Im honest, and he made country popular to more than hicks.

Billy Ray Cyrus did nothing of the sort. There was plenty of country music before him that was popular with more than hicks. He's really not much more than a one hit wonder.

I still like his music, I don't know much of the whole country music thing, so I can't say much on the subject, but he's one of the ones I've heard of and like, so yeah.

Definitely do yourself a favor and check out Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson or Loretta Lynn if you get the chance. Those were some of the real movers and shakers in country and for good reason.

I agree. I don't really think what is marketed as "country" these days is country. Country was a form of American folk, really, with narratives. The music currently labeled country just strikes me as twang-pop...pretty much identical to any mainstream radio pop, but with Southern accents.

I like Johnny Cash. I named my band (Black Cash) after him and the way I sometimes sing like him when Im not very confident.

Well there you go! He was a country guy who appealed to more than just hicks and he started making records 40 years before Billy Ray Cyrus.

Yeah, that's very true, but to be fair, Billy Ray was just a bit more 'in fashion'. Johnny is a legend, more than Billy Ray will ever be. But we're differing from the point of my last entry, which was that I hate pop 'singers'.
