I enjoy some of the country music out there and I'm sure there are country artists who have not realized that history repeats itself...I'm referring to the blatant clichés prominent in so many songs especially by new artists.
These are the category/topics most country songs fall under:
Alcohol (The trouble it got me in and the stupid things I did because of it)
Revenge (He/she cheated on me and I'm gonna get even)
Songs with reference to pick up trucks and beer.
Stop and smell the roses because the simple things in life and my family are more important.
My hats off to artists such as Alan Jackson and The Dixie Chicks as they blend in fresh concepts with novel interpretations to create great lyrics.
Message to all new country artists out there...don't reinvent the wheel and start off with avoiding those 4 above messages.
Now I will go back to drinking some beer in my pick up truck as I ponder revenge contemplating on getting in trouble but realizing I should stop and smell the roses because my family and the simple things in life are more important.
