"So apparently there is this thing in country music"


          

where some of the artists don't really talk with the heavy accent they use for their albums and interviews. A friend of mine used to work on Sugarland's tours and said that Jennifer Nettles gets on everyone's fucking nerves for talking all southern when she's not really southern and doesn't talk southern when she's not in artist mode.

I didn't think it was a big deal.

Now I have been around two women who are at the beginning of their careers. On TV and radio and shit now. Been around them for four years or so. The women don't know each other. The women have never sounded all redneck and shit, even if I am sure they had SOME accent.

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN WTF NOW

I understood for the songs, but when it got to interviews segments or onstage banter, I was like biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

singing about cowboys and shit. WAT.

So I was really perturbed.

But then I remembered that I grew up listening to rap music, and I realized that I was only irritated because it wasn't rap music, because man...this type of thing is/was rampant in rap.
