Transcript:
Coach Hacker: Please, Frazz? Teach me to write country songs. Frazz: I'm not sure that can be taught. Coach Hacker: I know. It has to be lived. I have a mom, I have a dog, I have a truck and I don't understand women. Frazz: I guess that just leaves prison work detail. Coach Hacker: I played college football.

I got a truck, the truck ain’t new,… I got a dog but his name ain’t Blue,…. Got me a Mom but she’s 82,….She didn’t have kids at 17…. Dog don’t bite cos he ain’t so mean…. Truck’s kinda old but I keep it clean…I’ll never write a country song. Everthin’s a little bit wrong.. Try as I might It just ain’t right… I’ll never write a country song.

susansunshine, that’s really good, though a bit apophatic.

..wasn’t there just a American Dad episode about this very same thing?There are many troubles with most of today’s country music beyond the sad clichés-cliché-isms are prevalent in all forms of pop music…don’t even get me started on Christian rock…as a loooong time country fan,I don’t like the idea in order to be country that I have to be a beer chugging,gun toting red state neck..most of today’s radio played country music is just comfort food that plays like a giant commercial..but ,perhaps,Frazz is not the correct forum for this very throllish tirade….

As quoted by David Allan Coe (in the classic “You Don’t Have to Call Me Darlin’, Darlin’”), Steve Goodman said every country song has to mention getting drunk, momma, prison, rain, and pickup trucks. Hence the final verse of the song: “I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison/so I went to pick her up in the rain/but before I could get to the station in my pickup truck/she got run over by a dammed old train…”

Yeah, what 3hour tour said! Where are the Marty Robbins, the Stonwall Jacksons, Ray Price, Ferlin Husky, George Jones, Buck Owens, Conway Twitty, Charlie Pride, Porter Wagoner, and Merle? The other thing that bugs me about the genre, is that it implies that it’s patriotic music. I hate it when people pimp the flag and pimp patriotism.
