I usually do enjoy a good brat in the summer. I prefer the Bavarian style brats, buy a package of them and then set them on the grill until lightly darkened. Truly the chef’s kiss!
I can't say that I smell that.
While misogyny certainly happens in the music industry, the standard, more traditional situation is more akin to ageism... simply the prior generation(s) hating the "music of the younger generation". This has been going on forever; so long that it predated the Beatles:
One type of criticism that I've heard about her album though is that it's more pop than country, and a lot of modern country music gets that same criticism nowadays and maybe for good reason idk. I don't hate it though. Music changes and evolves over time and some genres are all but dead now entirely because they couldn't keep up. Do I love classic country stars like Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson? Hell yes I do. Am I digging Beyonce's foray into country and the pop twist on the genre from the likes of Post Malone and Jelly Roll? Also yes. I can appreciate the classics while embracing what's new.
Do you like Mickey Guyton? She's one of my faves ever since I listened to her album Remember Her Name. I almost feel it should be required listening for every American haha.
On a side note: I LOVE you avatar of the Amiga bouncing ball. Takes me back to my Jr. High days and lawn mowing to purchasing my first Amiga 1000. Good times
I longingly browse r/Amiga. But I am sadly Amigaless. Such good times though. Imagine if Commodore hadn’t buggered it all up and I was typing this on my Amiga phone.On a side note: I LOVE you avatar of the Amiga bouncing ball.

Per your comment, I listened to the Beyonce country album more in depth and did not come to the same conclusion. I felt that outside of a couple tracks it lacked not only a country essence, but it failed to even bridge what she is known for and country and fuse those together. I was really disappointed.
It definitely encapsulates a lot of black roots in country music (hence why she had popular country artist who were black or heavily inspired by black artists on the album).
I think once you look at the actual history of country music and its origins and not the try to base it off what is considered country today you can see the vision.
There’s only a few songs id say are pop country. That would be Texas hold em, tyrant and levii jeans (spaghetti and sweet honey buckin are more trap country).
Alligator tears, 16 carriages, protector, bodyguard, daughter and especially American requiem are definitely more country than anything.
I prefer the country pop sound as it is more palatable and it can reach a bigger audience. It’s like Christian pop. I’ll never listen to a hymn but I would definitely jam to a poppy sounding Christian track.
And no haven’t heard of Mickey but I’ll definitely give them a listen.
That's so true. I would never seek out Christian music solely because of its content, but I'll listen to anything that bops no matter what genre it is.
And yeah I hope you will! She's very much got a pop country sound so I think you'll dig her.
I listened to it. The album has roots in Beyonce. Not some cultural black roots country music. That's a stretch and a fallacy. I would argue she made a pop album she wanted to, sprinkled in some bits here and there and called it black country. IMHO. We can agree to disagree.
That’s not roots of Beyoncé. Clearly you have not listened to her discography. Roots of Beyoncé would be lemonade.
Just like renaissance brought attention to the house genre of queer music (the same genre ppl are now trying to steal). Renaissance was groundbreaking and this is coking from someone who didn’t like renaissance from Beyoncé.
Cowboy Carter brings back the roots of BLACK influence in country music and I appreciate it. There’s nothing to agree or disagree on. There’s simply facts. Learn your history. You can’t rewrite history just because you think it’s wrong lol.
And that’s all that needs to be said.
Y’all will be okay knowing country music has black origins and roots.
I miss my Amiga days, but in Commodore's defense it almost felt like the Amiga brand was cursed... Escom and Gateway 2000 both seemed to implode after each acquired the brand. I was really hoping Gateway 2000 would do some big, cow-spotted marketing with the Amiga tech, but then there was nothing. 🐮
That was one of the funniest things I read today. Thank you.
Just the facts man. Of course everything is opinion. Yo off yo rocker. Enjoy the asylum.
likewise. I enjoy blatant disregard ppl have for facts instead of actually doing the research and educating themselves. It’s amusing. It’s like an echo chamber. You tell them facts or where to find the facts and they somehow keep shouting (like you’re doing) falseties and only hearing themselves.
Anyway, I’ve made my point multiple times and I am not going back and forth. It’s thanksgiving. I plan to be drunk and full. Not arguing about Apple Music or anything related to pop.
Thanks for the laughs. Ciao.
It was a fantastic holiday. And we played beyonces country album and the world kept spinning.
I most agree on that, especially the diss track battle against Drake and the recent new album GNX.
