I heard two songs on the radio for the first time yesterday and I'd like (no, I need) to type my thoughts.

1) "Pontoon", by Little Big Town. Pretty ****ing cool, because it just sounds different than most anything else on radio. That's something I've always liked. Maybe I'll get sick of it soon. I've only heard it once.

2)[rant] And, from the You've Got To Be ****ing Kidding Me Dept: Tim McGraw, with something like "Truck Yeah". Is that the title? I don't know. I don't really want to know. The initial guitar riff was kind of interesting, then things went downhill from there, in a hurry.

It had, like too goddamn many songs recently, the obligatory truck reference as well as a line something like, "tell the DJ to PLAY SOME COUNTRY!". WTF. This is a song more suited to an assclown like Luke Bryan. If your country song has to repeatedly beat us in the head with I'M COUNTRY AND I'M LEGIT well, it's not. Embarrassing. What's wrong, maybe, with making a good song that happens to be country? I think ol' Tim has jumped the shark, and the gator, and all the catfish too.

I might post Pontoon if no one else does but I won't post that McGraw song because **** that song, that's why.[/rant]

That was kind of fun. I feel better.

Oh, and I like that Suzy Bogguss song above. I'd forgotten about it.
