You know you're a country music fan when ...
I'm not a big fan of comedian Jeff Foxworthy; a little bit of his "You know you're a redneck when ..." shtick goes a l-o-n-g way. But this monologue from the CMT Awards, detailing why he likes country music: the values -- love of God, family, country -- that seem to be so important to the fans and the musicians, setting it apart from rap and rock.
Buried in the comments to the Hot Air post is this pungent jibe from Foxworthy about the Dixie Chicks, who won the Grammy for best Country Album, despite alienating their country fans with their politically-barbed attacks against Pres. Bush.
… and I understand that all the songs on that album are great, but I listen to country radio, so I haven’t heard any of ‘em yet. Their big song was called ‘Not Ready to Make Nice’, which is perfect, because we’re not ready to care.
I don't care where you're from, that's funny gotta sting.
I previously discussed the Dixie Chicks here and here.
