Country that don't suck

It's OK. I always talk shit to country music lovers. I can't help it. I was born a Rocker, and will stay that way for life. My wife's actually a fan of country, and listens to it sometimes when I'm not around.

But everyone knows my car won't play country music. My amplifiers even refuse.

Here's my favorite country song.
I was always hard rock or thrash but my horizons have broadened through the years. Hey, you like what you like. How about this.

I'm a Pirates dream sunken chest
Well at least you can laugh about it now brother. Fathers of that generation were an interesting breed. I remember when I was 13, was at a camp ground we went to in the summers and was doing work for the owner on a cottage. Was up a ladder when the older guy I was working with banged onto me with a second ladder. I shoved it away and it pissed him off so he swung it back and knocked me off my ladder and I fell about 12 feet to the rocks below. I limped back to my father who saw the whole thing. First thing out of his disappointed face, " why didn't you kick him in the nuts". I forgave him for all the things he did as I refuse to carry all that anger with me. I hope you have been able to do the same.

Daddy was one in a million. It was my Mamma who was the one of nightmares in my family. When she died 3 years ago it was such a relief. The sad thing was she hid herself from the outside world, so only close family knew how she was. All my scars are on the inside.

Yes I thank him and moved on he was a military man after he caved my chest in he went back to Vietnam and as far as I know he did not come back
That is unfortunate. I went the other way, left my father and spent 2 years homeless from the age of 15 to 17. Sleeping in abandoned cars and buildings seemed like a better life. Was not until years later that I reconnected with him at my grandfathers funeral. I was grateful I was able to form some kind of relationship with him before he died. I suppose many of us have such things from our childhood, I think the key is to not let it define who we are now. That much is our choice.
