Everything cultural, pop or otherwise. Books, movies, music, comics, poetry, random cultural geekery.

Probably less circling of wagons, and more giving the finger.

My teens (girls and boy) all like Taylor. Acts respectable and they respect her for writing so much of her stuff. None of them think she's a particularly exceptional vocalist. Seems there's some sort of "respect connection."

I like Miley -- at least I do when she sings the more traditional and honky tonk stuff. I think that's where she shines. Considering some of the other I have to hear with teens in the house...

When they turn Miley loose and let her get off the teenie-pop track, she gets a throaty traditional thing going. I swear I can hear (just a little) shades of some the grand dames of country like Loretta, June and Tammy. Not much of that out there and I dig it. I think I first noticed it on that duet she did with her Dad a year or so back.

Country Music?!

Call it what it is - Rural Pop. It ain't Country Music unless you've written a song about going to prison, and performed it one!

And the perfect way to hear that song is on Northgate -- nothing like singing along to "The Perfect Country and Western Song" with a bunch of PhDs in a dusty bar covered in dead animals, and w. generations of carvings in the tables and walls...

Sorry -- Aggie thing. The grad student/biochemist bar was Dudley's Draw -- it was dusted once a year, and the walls were covered in taxidermy, old instruments, and all kinds of other detrius. All the tables had been carved into, and some of the walls. There was usually a poker game, and a 42 game going on, and when the rest of northgate was jammed, there would be space, because the yuppies (AKA nouveau Aggies) wouldn't go in there.
