I'm a flag waving country music redneck!

Last night the CMT music awards were on TV. We had other things to do last night, so we DVR'd it. Guess what, our DVR was messed up. I was really ticked. We called Cox, had them reset and luckily, it was rebroadcast at like 1:00 a.m. I really enjoy country music. I liked it as a kid, but now I REALLY like it. It's all I listen to. I recently found myself pulling over the side of the road listening to the new song "Stealing Cinderalla" by Chuck Wicks. Chuck sings this song from the perspective of a young man asking his girlfriends father for her hand in marriage. He talks about how the father is reminiscing with him about his daughters childhood and how special she is. I was bawling! I admit it. I knew my emotions put me in a position that I shouldn't be driving. This song is so touching. I heard George Straits latest called "I Saw God Today". Another emotionally charged song that put life into perspective. Given the state of parental advisories on much of today's popular music, I find myself practically banning hip hop from my house. My kids enjoy Little Big Town, King George, Craig Morgan, Trace Adkins, Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift and so on. I am grateful for this. We actually talk about the lyrics, mainly because we can understand them! There is nearly always a positive message in these songs. What hip hop or rock artist can say that?
