Yeah, so I got lazy with the links
Country music cracks me up. I should listen to it more often. Today I walked into work with a smile on my face because I'd just heard the song "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk." (God I love XM radio!) I could make a whole CD of country songs that make me laugh. I would have to include "Tequila makes her clothes fall off" and Brad Paisley's "Alcohol." Who doesn't want to put a lampshade on their head after hearing that song? Dierks Bentley's hilarious lyrics initially attracted me to his songs, but I've actually fallen in love with his song "Come a little closer." I usually try to avoid the slow country songs, unless they're sung by Faith Hill or Tim McGraw, but somehow that one grew on me.
Anyhow, it's strange to be talking about country while living in a city. I was never a huge country fan; that was my sister's thing (especially since she named our old dog "Toby" after Toby Keith). But somehow I couldn't help but start liking some of it when I was covering good ole rural Franklin County. The only clear radio station in the county was a country one. It only seemed natural to blast it with the windows down as I cruised past all the farms. I must have listened to Toby Keith's Greatest Hits 2 and Kenny Chesney's When the Sun Goes Down like a hundred times each. Since I moved to Charlotte I have spent much more of my time listening to Linkin Park and Rob Thomas.
Speaking of music, do you ever have one of those songs that you are embarrassed to say you really like? You know, one of those songs by some cheesy artist that gets stuck in your head for ages. On Halloween I was sitting at the computer desk in my parents house while my little brother's girlfriends watched "Laguna Beach" and the boys played pool. Ashlee Simpson's "Boyfriend" started playing on the show and I couldn't help but shriek, "I love this song!" I thought Dean was going to die of embarrassment. I got the obligatory, "Lindsay!" The female yunguns tried to make me feel better by all saying they love the song too, but I'm old compared to them and thus it was totally uncool for me to like the song, according to Dean.
Holy crap! A "Family Guy" I haven't seen! I better go so I can really watch it.
