listening to a
radio special on Loretta Lynn (American Country Western singer)... on BBC 2. :blink::blink::blink:
Scarry, I
didn't think Country had escaped the US.:type: But, it is the middle of the night there.

Are you kidding? The Germans love
Country. So do the Congolese.

It is. It's hard to believe that
Country ever did escape the US - let alone really catch on elsewhere. But then, so did McDonalds.

Lol.
Country & Western is
actually more popular in Ireland than Irish music or any other kind of music.
I'm liking it way more than I
used to, which may be a sign of trouble.

It's been treated to the "cross over"
treatment. More Rock & Roll like, lot less dogs dying.

Then I bet
they're happy about this (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060609/music_nm/cyrus_dc).

There used to be this
absolutely brilliant cable channel called CMT (Country Music Television) which was all music videos of what is, I
believe, termed "New Country" and I just could not get enough of it.
I can still remember back in 2002, WHILE I
WAS WATCHING IT, the announcement that CMT would no longer be broadcast in the UK, and ten seconds later I was
looking at a bloody still picture of a Satellite tower!
To say that I was annoyed, would be the understatement of
the century.. >_<

Same here, really. And
how could we forget Johnny?
There's a song by Jennings called "Too Dumb For New York City, Too Ugly For
L.A." for which I've been searching feverishly but can't find nohow on Limewire or anywhere else.

I haven't listened to
country since Garth Brooks retired. The new generation just doesn't do it for me.

Joking about the Germans, not

Thanks, Ail! I'd honestly never heard of eMule before. It's
great.

That's funny as I considered Brooks "new generation."
I tried to watch his first
television special when he rose to popularity to see what he was about. The quick MTv-like cuts they used in the
production were so distracting they put me off and I never really had any interest in him after that.

They don't get any air play here since the radio owners got pissed off at them, but they are in
regular rotation on BBC 2.

Country music is huge in
Australia, especially up north, there is a very big festival in Tamworth Qld every year. Country music is often seen
in the southern states of Australia as a bit of a redneck type music. My guess is because its mainly sung by white
people bearing cowboy hats, and people make a false connection that every one that wears a cowboy hat and sings
about Mary Lou, is somehow racist and backwards and non tolerant. Ofcourse this isnt the case. I believe Rap can be
seen just as one sided, if not more so then country music.
I enjoy country music, actually I enjoy anything
artistic and creative.

Im not German, but when im not a full time Aussie, im also a
southern European, sometimes live in a little country just to the right of Italy that invented Democracy and that
discusting drink called OUZO.
Anyhow, if you know what the eurovision contest is, you probably watched it
this year last month, the act representing Germany was called TEXAS LIGHTING, I have never seen such a cliche
country music act ever, mind you the sexy blonde singer is from Newcastle Australia.
What did the yank
soldiers do when they invaded Nazi Germany towards the end of ww2? bring along your Banjos and sing to the POW'S?
:think:
mjim, im as Aussie as Paul Hogan, and rough as guts! and back home I have a Kanagroo as a pet.
Love them giant jumping rats.

I was refering to the "opposites", you know our toilets swirl clockwise and your's anti cloclwise.
Also, I used to live in Argos in the south of Greece.

Yeah I know about the toilet whirl, I cant help remind myself each time I visit
the Loo, but what happens over the equator? next time im above Singapore in flight, il run to the bathroom and
examine.
I would go further and say Australians have thier brain wired opposite. The land is so far from
anyone else on earth that we have developed some pretty quirky behaviour. Like a thong throwing competition (a thong
in Australia looks like a sandle) and a beer gut competition, who has the biggest pot belly from beer. the list goes
on...
Argos is not far from me, just 1 hr or so away, im further south on the peninsula. Alot of history
there, actually alot of history anywhere here. What where you doing there? Met some sexy Greek girl. These Girls
here pack a punch in the looks department. Just too firery.

I spent a year and a half ('80->'81) as an illegal migrant laborer
traveling Europe. I was living with this hot stripper then. Ran into her for the first time in over 20 years a
couple of months ago, she recognized me, I didn't recognize her. All I can say is "thank God we split up" :cheers:,
she turned in a real frump!!:run:
She introduced me to her husband, he asked her if I was the same Jim she was
always talking about :think:, she said "yes" :thumbsup: , guess I made quite an impression all those years ago!!

A stripper in Argos, thats
amazing....80-81 in Greece must have been pretty good in the night club scene, so ive been told...
Sounds
like you had fun, you should visit Greece once more, the whole of the southern Peloponese is full of English and
Germans and Swedes that have permenantly migrated here, most have bought old style mediteranean stone homes by the
sea that are reletivly cheap, the bars and resturants are full of foriegn women around your age and younger, guess
they got sick of living in the big cities and colder climates.
In fact, your former president doesnt live to
far from here, if Senior Bush likes it, it must be good. I bet he lives in alot of places around the world.
