What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

Of course the ultimate country song is
Family Tradition - Hank Williams Jr
Now here is my current favorite by the Brad Paisley

The opening act was Dwight Yoakam, who was then young and very little known. That was a weird experience. Despite the Folk influences of the Femmes, there is not a lot of overlap between Femmes fans and country fans.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

There's a lot of different country artists and styles that I enjoy.
The older stuff like Chris LeDoux (my all-time favorite), Johnny Cash and George Strait is still old school and I enjoy his stuff.
A lot of the newer groups I'm not a fan, but some of the artists I enjoy in particular:
Keith Urban
Brad Paisley....dude picks a mean guitar
Montgomery Gentry
I like a lot of the ones I listened to growing up like: Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Jon Michael Montogmery and a handful of others.
A RockAbilly/Bluesy style group that I really like, but have no idea what happened too is called Big House....they have a lot of really good stuff.

One that no one has mentioned yet
Patsy Cline - Crazy
I may be small, but I'm slow.
A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."
