I will start this off with saying I realize there is an ass for every seat. As a matter of fact, it's our family motto. I've even made two signs that say this very thing...one in our house and one out on our patio. Yes, I realize that everybody has their own opinion and tastes, and I try very hard every day to teach my children this valuable lesson, and I remind myself this on a daily basis.
With all this being said, I have something very important to share with a certain portion of the population. Yeah, I think if you know me well enough you have an idea of where this rant is going. Yup, once again, country music. Listen, there is something you country music folks have to realize...you either love country music with all your heart, or you hate it with all your might. I am of the latter.
As a matter of fact, to me it feels like somebody is sticking jagged icicles repeatedly into my skull. It is the epitome mediocrity and awfulness and it makes me want to vomit. But that's just my opinion. And as I like to say, opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one and they all stink! But please, for the love of God, can you stop bringing your music with you wherever you go. When I'm sitting on a peaceful beach listening to the sea gulls squawking over head, ocean waves crashing endlessly onto the beach, and the innocent sounds of children's laughter the last fucking thing I want to hear is another talentless shithole country song.
So maybe, if you're at the beach, poolside, sitting on a park bench, throwing a party, attending an ice cream social, camping...whatever...for the love off all things holy, can you wear headphones? Or failing that, keep your radio low enough so that the people 100 yards away can't hear it? Maybe, just maybe? For little old me? Or for the folks who actually have taste in music that isn't awful? I get it, you love songs about cowboys, pickup trucks, shotguns, lost loves, Trump and 'Merica...but for the rest of us it's like having your brain scooped out with a rusty spoon.
Kay? This has been a public service announcement from Uncle Ray.
