    Simple.Because that stuff sucks?
    Kinda hard to write and sing a song about going down the grapevine in smooth jazz.
    Or loosing your brakes down Wolf Creek pass in a stupid hip hop noise.

    Well someone should try writing one in hip hop. Because that nails the demographic that loses their brakes down Wolf Creek Pass.

    How can you not love this song while driving down the highway in something that is very American in nature? Imagine how a cattle hauler feels while outlawishly driving by on the highway listening to this song? When I was younger, I never understood the hate on country music. Then I began listening to it myself and I actually like it. It is one of those last American things left, before DIEversity completely ruins the country/western world.




    Have to agree with triple six, the Christmass music that will be playing nonstop is very annoying. I am all for the spirit but wow, everywhere just drowns you with it, too much.

    Who will bear the cost?
    Who will bear the responsibility?
    Who is ACTUALLY at fault?

    All different answers depending on how you ask the question

    Lets differentiate between diagnosing reality and the victim mentality.

    You said it right there my friend, along with "The Legend", the opening song to Smokey and the Bandit, I was hooked.

    So parents bear 0 responsibility for the stupid ideas they plant in their kids heads? Thats a new one. You expect 18 year old kids with a lifetime of being taught college is the only path forward and no experience of the real world to be wiser than the lies theyve been fed, and when they DO wise up, frequently too late, you expect them not to be angry at the people who lied to them?

    Is a mechanic diagnosing the premature failure of your clutch as the previous driver riding the clutch "blaming" that driver? In a narrow sense yes, but that also gives you the toolkit to not repeat the problem, ESPECIALLY if that driver is who taught you

    Well since he's a successful dentist w>th his own practice, married w his own children, I reckon the job that was done in his raising was satisfactory.
    And WTF are you referring to?

    You said
    "After he was 18 any decisions he had made were on him not me"
    That SOUNDs as if it didnt matter to you how he did in life good or bad. To ne apathetic like that about your own kid, thats sociopathic.

    Now it looks like you DO care and are proud of him, and you can credit your raising him well as part of that sucess, a natural and appropriate way to look at things.

    so which is it?

    My point is not and never will be that everything is my parents generation's fault, but dont delude yourself into thinking that means any current problems are all millenials fault.

    Civilisation is a complex constantly evolving system, but problems of today are highly affected by the past.
