Country Clever

Random thought....

So many entertainers are such tortured souls - musicians specifically. R&B singers, rappers, rockers.... they're all plagued with addiction and all kinds of really public.... mess. How come you never hear any of that about country singers? Okay, Leann Rimes was a bit of an anomaly, but by and large, they are never in the news with these types of shenanigans, they dont generally kill themselves or overdose or .... nothing.

Why is that?

People who dont like country music give it a hard way to go. Yes, the music can be dark - it's riddled with infidelity, alcoholism, lost faith, abusive relationships, love gone bad and death - but isnt that life? Is music not supposed to be therapeutic? Is there anything to the idea that these artists arent strangled by their demons because they free themselves from them in their songs?

Just something I was thinking about.

Maybe I should put this glass down.

Carry on.
