From time-to-time I flip on GAC or CMT just to make sure I’m not missing anything. Call it wishful thinking that one day I’ll see a Todd Snider marathon on one of the channels. A guy’s gotta try right?

Well in the wee hours today I’ve been watching once again and I’m not impressed. There’s a decidedly Americana and Southern rock influence that’s apparent, but it’s an undercurrent overshadowed by the craptastic quasi-rock that has littered the country music roadside since the late 80s. With watered-down songwriting and talent as bland as wallpaper paste, the majority of the music just isn’t worth the time. Lord forbid, but “God Love Her” was the only palatable offering–and Toby, between us pal, stick to this kind of tune because it makes you seem like less of a prick. In this day and age, anything that feels authentic will get my vote because I’m pretty sure that Keith Urban is a robot.

Anyway, you should be proud of this accomplishment because I actually liked your song. Still hate the perm/mullet thing and that outdated rolled-up cowboy hat, but we can work on that right? Ask our pal Jack about the hat thing–he’s pretty smart about this stuff.

And tell Kenny that the wifebeater makes him looks like a child molester. I’d look him in the eye and tell him that myself if he had a step stool.

So I’ll catch you at the next Hair Club for Men meeting right?
