My Secret Appreciation For Country Music...or...How The Dixie Chicks Brought Out My Inner Cowboy 02/08/14

I am not a fan of country music.  But I do have an appreciation for it.  That was not always the case though.  As a young kid into Punk, Metal, and Hip-Hop, Country music was everything I hated about music.

It wasn't as though I didn't have exposure to it growing up.  My mother would play her Eddie Arnold albums throughout the day when I was growing up.  I don't think we ever missed an episode of Hee Haw.  Still, I was young and aggressive and I wanted music that symbolized that.  It was not going to be Country.
