Could I Actually Like Country Music?

This NYT piece on John Rich's new song, "Shuttin' Detroit Down", makes me think it's a distinct possibility. That's apolcalyptic in itself.

A choice cut:

I see all these big shots whining on my evening news
About how they’re
losing billions and it’s up to me and you
To come running to
The
rescue

  1. This is a great new song. Rich sang it recently on Beck's program on FOX and also last night at the Country Music Awards in Vegas at the MGM Grand. He is getting a great deal of exposure with this new song and I think it's great; it has quickly shot up on the music billboard charts. Surprised? I'm not. Note his guitar, with a huge sticker on it, front and center, that says "Made in the U.S.A." THIS is precisely why I have learned to love country music.
