I Want A Guy Who Is "A Little More Country Than That." ;)

I have come to the conclusion that one can tell a lot about a person when music is brought up in discussion. Music is such an important part of culture and society. It is one of the topics that is easiest to discuss because people are passionate (usually) about their music preferences. Me, I am definitely a country kinda girl. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy pop music, and a little rock, but for the most part it's all about country. I feel as though lately country music has grown in popularity quite a bit. More people who want to keep life simple and laid back tend listen and enjoy country music. The more conservative members of this country tend to listen to country music. Country fans are the average person. They don't mind getting their hands dirty while working. They tend to be considered the politically incorrect members of our country. Country musicians have no qualms about thanking God in their songs and being patriotic towards the men and women fighting for our country. This is not so surprising to me, though, considering from the fact that in country music's early stages it's most popular theme was gospel music.

I was sitting down and talking to friends about guys and dating and how music tastes can be factored into relationships. It is true. I know that I would go crazy dating someone who enjoyed playing heavy metal in their car all the time. It would make me go insane. I have come to the conclusion that the man I will marry (whenever that happens) will have to enjoy country music quite a bit because I enjoy listening to it a lot. It would not be fair to make someone who does not like country music at all to listen to mine very much. Besides it is more fun to have someone who wants to sing along with me. :) My mom once told me how I should marry a "cowboy who knows how to sing country." I guess I should start praying for one to come my way, especially considering how there are not very many cowboys here in Indiana.

There is a song that came to mind as I was typing this out. I put it up on my music play list awhile back I will put some of the lyrics here.

"Politically Uncorrect"
by Gretchen Wilson

I'm for the low man on the totem pole
And I'm for the underdog God bless his soul
And I'm for the guys still pulling third shift
And the single mom raisin' her kids
I'm for the preachers who stay on their knees
And I'm for the sinner who finally believes
And I'm for the farmer with dirt on his hands
And the soldiers who fight for this land

Chorus:

And I'm for the Bible and I'm for the flag
And I'm for the working man, me and ol' hag
I'm just one of many
Who can't get no respect
Politically uncorrect

(Merle Haggard)
I guess my opinion is all out of style
(Gretchen Wilson)
Aw, but don't get me started cause I can get riled
And I'll make a fight for the forefathers plan
(Merle Haggard)
And the world already knows where I stand

Repeat Chorus

(Merle Haggard)
Nothing wrong with the Bible, nothing wrong with the flag
(Gretchen Wilson)
Nothing wrong with the working man me & ol' hag
We're just some of many who can't get no respect
(Merle Haggard)
None
(Gretchen Wilson)
Politically uncorrect
(Merle Haggard)
