    Default So I'm sitting here...

    listening to a

    radio special on Loretta Lynn (American Country Western singer)... on BBC 2.

    Scarry, I

    didn't think Country had escaped the US. 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"

    Is country and western music?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I can tell you're in

    Oz.
    Here Country is big in the south, and the people up north think it is

    redneck.

    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?




    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.

    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" ,

    she turned in a real frump!!
    She introduced me to her husband, he asked her if I was the same Jim she was

    always talking about , she said "yes" , 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.
