Aaand now I'm sniffling loudly in my cubicle at work.... I'm always surprised and a little disappointed at how far country music has deviated from the country music I knew when I was younger. Also, I'm starting to suspect that punk may not actually be a musical genre, but a political tone that can be expressed a wide array of musical styles. No one can tell me that John Prine isn't punk! Heck, even Кино counts as technically punk, and they sound more like The Smiths than the Sex Pistols. But maybe I'm misunderstanding the whole punk thing.... and possibly country music... or just music genres altogether.
