Here's a more low-level poet for you to attack, Jack. Or maybe you'll love him. At least he rhymes.
What's the deal with Tim McGraw? I just don't understand his last few songs. I can't figure them out. Am I missing something?
Country music tells stories. Tim McGraw sings these odd little lyrics that are nothing more than pretty words strung together. What's up?
Like -- "Dancing When the Stars go Blue," whatever that "1-2-3 like a bird I sing" song is called.... and there are more.
Get lost, Tim and Faith. You guys were okay back in the day. Nobody likes you anymore. Rich jerks.

While I tend to agree with your comments about the inexplicability of some of Tim's lyrics, I cannot concur with your final sentiments.
I rather fail to see how the "rich jerks" cognomen justifiably follows from having somewhat nonsensical lyrics. But even if it did follow, I daresay that's an unfortunate descriptor anyhow, especially for its user.
I thought that stars go blue song was bono and somebody. but that's pop culture. I'm in over my head.
I approve of non-sensical lyrics. See: the oldies as a genre.

Tim and Faith are washed-up, sold out, Hollywood/Nashville royalty now, and while I think that being rich or jerks has no direct correlation to having dumb songs, I think that they are pretty ruined by getting big. They think they matter more than they do (see film actors who become political experts), so they get obnoxious with their 'causes,' lifestyles, and ultimately, even their music too.
Tim used to sing a lot of fun BBQ-party, tiki-torch type songs. Now he thinks that he can write these precious profound my-child-sings-with-me-which-makes-this-song-good songs. And his kids can't sing!
Either that, or his producer knows what 13 year old girls are buying.
And Faith is obnoxious on a whole other level.
Whoah. Why Tim and Faith? What about the rest of the country stars?
Country music is not exactly the ideal reflection of mediaevalism, for me at least. I refuse to comment on your inflammatory comments on my poetic tastes.
Although, Doug Jones has been forcing me to write some free verse poetry...alas.
Now, PDQ Bach. There's a guy with some good rhymes. Save it for your horse! You've got to save it for your horse! Don't be a prisoner of remorse! Just save it for your horse!
New post!
hahahahaha
I got a good laugh out of this whole dialogue between you all (especially john--'country music is not exactly the ideal reflection of mediaevalism'...LOL).
am decidedly NOT a fan of the country music, so it's all quite amusing.
I'm sorry I wasn't here to comment when this was originally posted, but I do believe that Faith Hill is the one whose song lyrics say "...a Mississippi girl don't change her ways, just cause everybody knows her name. Ain't big-deaded from a little bit of fame." Then at the CMAs she was horrified to find that she was not, in fact, the female vocalist of the year. It was Carrie Underwood. When F.H. heard this, she (live on camera) squawked "WHAT!?" I think she speaks for herself. She doesn't need Abe to point out who she is. She did that on her own.
