I don't know where sweets is in Texas, but I can say having been born here that country music wasn't "shoved down" my throat. It may have to do with being in a big city though.

My point is...yes, country music is big here, but sometimes I get the feeling that (and I'm not pointing any fingers) people think we all wear cowboy hats, ride horses, have shot guns and own every album by Hank Williams and Dolly Parton or whoever else. lol...not so.

Sorry to get a little of subject...

i didn't mean it in a Texan stereotype way, although I guess assuming country is omnipresent there was a bit presumptuous... It's like the American misconception that the English are obsessed with tea... okay we ARE but that's a bad example

I know what you meant...besides I was just thinking that I do have a cowboy hat, I've rode a horse before, and I have a BB gun...not quite a shot gun, but whatcha gonna do? lol

No albums from Hank and Dolly though.

I understand where you're coming from. I assume though that these people are listening to the crap on the radio though? I know it's been said, but it's still worth it to look into country beyond the mainstream.
