Why is Country Music so Dispised In Ontario?

[mabudon]

Ahh it's had a couple different titles but this one was called "Coffee Blues", I just got determined and finally figured it out

He DaSleeper- any idea of alternate names of Misissippi John Hurts "My loving spoonful"?? I recall it being called a few different things and I can't find any of them anywheres (and I lost the only John Hurt CD I had dammit)

That guy was an awesome anti-bluesman almost- lived a fairly plain life, wrote tunes about being happy and stuff, and was a killer player to boot

I love old country music. Not fussy for today's stuff, but I like a lot of 'alternative country', especiallly the Meat Purveyors, great hilly billy sound, a tad more modern, but still the same old theme - drinking and heart ache. :lol:

I dont get it, 5/6ths of the people i know here hate country. But it gets me more ****** then your rock in roll halloween music that sounds like...

Could be because it is so bad and 5/6 of the population have better taste in music.

Country music, by and large, tend to be more patriotic.'

Toronto and vicinity is more of the kind that could not care less about Canada.

Maybe it is because almost everyone mixes terms like country and western. Some country is good western on the other hand is all bad.
Kind of like calling rap rock music. It is neither.

Country music causes cancer and venereal disease.

I'm no particular fan of country music, but I really enjoyed the movie 'Crazy Heart'.

Country all the way baby, forget that inner city noise garbage....

Last time i was in TO earlier this month, i heard this techno rap noise, what the hell? :lol:

I played at a biker bar in Calgary this past weekend. We did a lot of classic rock but it was the country music that got them on the floor. Go figure.

I've been to a few places in Ontario where country music rules. Not so much in the bigger cities but in the rural areas.
