    They just don't make country music like they used to. It's too popish. Some of this crap they put on the radio now and call it country is nothing but sell outs and wanna be pop artists. Don't get me wrong there are still a few good songs that come out. But by and large give me the old stuff! By the way you can still be a redneck and have a college degree, teeth, and wear shoes. I have all of that, and would proudly call myself a redneck. I work hard, and play hard. I belive in simple southern values. I however am not white trash. I may live in a trailer, but it's decorated with pottery barn. No wonder you can't find this in Florida, you missed the part on the map where Florida broke off of the North East and floated on down.
