I find this fascinating and strange at the same time. Even some rock music has had its roots in European countries. The county music awards are on this week in the united states, from its home town Nashville Tennessee. I am only familiar with the genre because my mother, when she lived, was a fan, especially during the 70's and 80's.
So why has this music genre only been a popular staple, for some americans for 48, short years? This music does not seem to resonate with other civilized countries, much like the pop Billboard 100 does. Do people in England, Spain, Germany or France listen to this?
This music and its fans appear to be limited to the southern states with pockets within the liberal enclaves. Strange to view the recent bar addition to WeHo http://flamingsaddles.com/weho/ The young gays are quite impressionable when they first hear this type music. I was kind of force to listen to it back 30 years ago, when my mom and I would fight over the radio stations and channel changing while driving
