I’m watching The 40th CMA Awards on ABC. For whatever reason, I keep missing to watch the CMA until now. Mom is asleep. Dad is in the bathroom.
I missed the first hour of programming until hearing the familiar tune by Loretta Lynn.
I’m observing if the entertainment spooks infiltrated country music, too. I saw a brief video snippet of Brandy Clark sporting that over the one-eyed hair bang deal.
I noticed that most music is about the topic: love. I’m wondering if country music can avoid pitfalls of writing/singing too much about relationships in love and break-ups.
That’s what attracted me to country music. The songs/lyrics told stories, without the need of any refrains. I like mountain, blue grass music too.
I noticed, too, that most modern music, especially rock music, uses too much hypnotic, repetitious refrains. I don’t like country rock either.
As a result, I don’t listen to popular music anymore and no longer turn on my car radio. This is for my safety while “on the road again.”
Music is meant to paint life, or death, whatever through creative choices of words and appropriate flow of tempo, whatever.
