Why I listen to Country Music.

Jeff Foxworthy summed it up.


this is a quote from Jeff foxworthy Monday night (4/16/07) on the CMT country music awards.



This is why i listen to country music......and why I love the CMT awards!

"Country muisic is about things in life that really matter. It aint about braggin about how much money you make, or about how you are gonna mess somebody up or how somebody aint respecting ya. Its about love , family , friends and a few beers , a cheap women and a 2 timin man thrown in for spice.

It doesnt take on political sides even on things as ugly as war. Instead it celabrates the brave men and women who go to fight em and the price the pay to do it and the longing we have for them to return home to the ones they love.

Its about kids and how there aint nothin like them, I get tired of hearing about how bad kids are today, because there are alot of great kids out there. That just need someone to love them and to believe in them.

Country folks LOVE their kids and they will JACK YOU UP if you mess with their kids.

People in Country Music dont forget about the people that allow them to do what they do for a living. They sign autographs and take pictures with their fans because they know with out them alot of entertainers would be getting a lot dirtier during the course of thier work day. We are thankful that people want to hear our songs and jokes that we write.

Country Music doesnt have to be politicaly correct. We sing about God because we believe in him, we are not trying to offend anybody , but the evidence we have seen of him in our small little lives trumps your opionon on whether or not he exists.

We love country music because it touches us where we live. Its about momma's and when they were hot and when they are unappreciated and when they were dying. Its about Daddys and the difficulties they have telling the people they work so hard to protect and provide for how they feel about them.

Country music is about new love and its about old love, its about getting drunk and its about getting sober. Its about leaving and its about coming home. Its real music sung by real people for real people, the people that make up the back bone of this country. You can call us REDNECKS if you want we are not offended, because we know what we are all about. We get up and we go to work , we get up and go to church and we get up and go to war when necessary .

All we ask is a few songs to carry us along the way , and thats why I love this show. Because it isnt some self important silly Hollywood hype with the winners determend by someone else.

On this show you decide who goes home with the trophy and you get to dance and sing along with the people that bring you the songs of your life"
