I don't hate all C&W, but the old time C&W sucks (in my opinion). The Line dancing is not a new thing. Been happening around here for many long years. I still don't care for it, or Ball Room Dancing, or Ballet either!
And I own the Copper Head Road CD.
I have been to C&W bars, and suffered through the music looking for "Mrs. Right Now", and I learned girls I meet in bars, always want to go back, and the ones from C&W bars like that music and want to listen to it all the time.
Toby Keith has some decent music. We ate at his giant bar and restaurant just last month. They were playing his music and the walls are covered with his memorabilia.
And once again, I don't have anything against line dancing. Lots of folks love it, power to em! Just don't invite me please.
