Country and Western music is as American as apple pie and arbitrary invasions. Though modern country music certainly has its roots in blues and early rock and roll, traditional country music takes its inspiration from many different styles of music, especially Celtic and Spanish sources.
Country music is often stereotyped as being sad, twangy music about trucks and redneck stuff, which is a topic lampooned by the great David Allan Coe in this song.
But country music isn't just about bad women and stuff!
In fact, many country singers have been very active politically!
Like Henson Cargill, whose lone hit "Skip a Rope" addressed issues such as racism at a time when many Americans were still supportive of school segregation.
I saw the music video to Red Solo Cup today while eating breakfast. First time to hear it too and while it wasn't terrible it was kind of dumb and the guy that sings it annoys the shit out of me.

The guy that sings it is Toby Keith, aka- the REAL MURRIKAN!
That's why it's my go-to genre for break up music. It makes me sad enough that I can just fucking cry until I'm damn near dehydrated. I like to feel things completely and utterly in times like that. Helps me move past things.

McGraw and Chesney were arrested on June 3, following the duo's headlining set at the George Strait Country Music Festival, near Buffalo, N.Y. Chesney, 33, asked the daughter of Erie Sheriff Dept. Capt. James Coyle for permission to sit on her father's horse in the parking lot. After climbing into the saddle, he reportedly rode off, disregarding orders to halt.
When two officers intercepted the musician and his mount and attempted to remove him, McGraw, 34, and Russo, 45, leapt into the fray and reportedly attacked the deputies. The three were arrested and detained for four hours before being freed on bail.
