Reply #55: Me neither, and I'll tell you exactly why.

The Dixie Chicks don't do the exaggerated hick accent like Reba, but I am glad they let the world know what they think of Bush.

I can't stand singers who whine, or maybe they're singing with a clothespin on their nose and I can't see it. Whatever.

I also hate the negative tone of so many of their songs (my dog died, my pickup got stolen, I'm getting drunk, my girlfriend left me, etc.... )

And I hate the pedal steel guitar which is whiny too. If they had any talent they'd be doing a bit of bottleneck guitar instead.

Last good country I heard was Ringo doing Carl Perkins songs, Chet Atkins and Roy Clark, not these fake cowboys. Early George Harrison licks were clean, and sorta country, and no distortion on them. I don't like distorted guitars either. It was cool when the Beatles first did it, now it's a cliche.
