[quote=Anonymous]I've really gotten into country music in the past couple of years, and having been raised in boring middle class suburbia, I'm a little intrigued by the small town country life portrayed in country songs...sounds like everyone just drives their jacked up truck out to a field every weekend, and drinks beer/falls in love. I know high school kids do this b/c they aren't old enough to go to a bar but do young adults do this also, or is it total fiction? If you believe the music, every small town has some big country field next to a picturesque stream where everyone drinks, plays music, makes out, goes skinny dipping, etc.  Does this really happen?

Also, given the roots of country music (originated in the south from folk music), it seems hard to buy into an 'imposter' like Keith Urban who is from a completely different country and has to fake a country accent in his songs.  Don't get me wrong, I think he's a talented musician and easy to look at, but it's almost like he's a poser. Part of what makes country music cool is you are led to believe these artists are singing about their upbringing and where they came from.

The above has no bearing on anything important, but just wondering what others think.  I should be working, but instead, I'm sitting here thinking about country music.
