    The reason that I asked was because those artists that you mentioned
    • Mazzy Star
    • Liz Phair
    • Ani DiFranco
    didn't really fit what I expect that people raised in the country - small towns would be partial to.


    I did stumble in the past with the stereotyping of people and music.


    Maybe 10 years ago, I drove with my Pop to a feed mill/store for an hour & 20 minutes. Listened to Polka music all the way there and knew it would be Polka music on the trip back. The location was very much a rural area.

    While the people at the mill were preparing our load of feed, I stood outside the office listening to this.




    while my Pop was inside listening to more Polka music.


    The owner's daughter (roughly your age) was handling office paperwork that day and stepped outside to get the mail or give somebody in the mill a message.

    She immediately recognized the song that I was listening to. I told her that I surprised she knew the song because I figured that people in that area listened to mostly George Strait and Polka music.

    She laughed and said that she knew much more music than that.

    Inspiration for a very great song (that didn't, alas, win her back):

    It's getting to the point where I'm no fun anymore
    I am sorry
    Sometimes it hurts so badly I must cry out loud
    I am lonely
    I am yours, you are mine
    You are what you are
    You make it hard

    Remember what we've said and done
    And felt about each other
    Oh, babe have mercy
    Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now
    I am not dreaming

    Listening to the Jesus and Mary Chain B-Sides, Rarities Comp. It kind of just goes on forever and I don't seem to get tired of it.

    Both great albums. Dazzle Ships is so underrated, it brings tears to my eyes. Have you listened to the Video 5 8 6 22:00 minute version? I love it, despite the length.
