Did any of you hear the latest hot item in the popular "music" world?

"Country Hip Hop" also called "hick hop"

"This year, Troy Coleman is 34, goes by the name ''Cowboy Troy'' and is attempting to become the first African-American superstar in country music since Charley Pride.

Oh yes, and he's also trying to make it onto the country airwaves by rapping rather than singing. With country instruments backing his raps, Troy calls his style ''hick-hop.''

He's a nice looking black dude.

He does look nice. I kinda like hip hop. Why not try country hip hop? The sound is a good one.

Gee, so am I. I do not like rap, but I do enjoy some hip hop. It is the music in the background that appeals to me. Some modern English opera sounds like bad rap.

River

Wait there is one opera I do like and I don't like any rap....

The questions is, is a mid summers night dream truly an opera if its sung in english?

Opera or Rap......................... Jazz, Clasical, Bluegrass, folk ...............

sigh.

If it's music, I like it! Grand Funk to Grand Opera I like it all. The Idea of "Hick-Hop" doesn't seem that strange to me but I doubt it will be widely accepted by country music fans or by the country music industry. --FLO--

...ah, yes...

But if you go downtown to a bar you may find somebody playing the Boogie-Woogie or the Blues. If you are very, very lucky, they may be playing it on an accoustic piano that is actually in tune...almost.

I actually can close my eyes and see things. Beautiful things from a simpler time.

At least, that is how I imagine... simpler times, when peace prevailed and people were not so complicated. Was there ever such a time? Don't you remember?

Here, try it! (http://www.barrycuda.com/)

Well, this was a hit song during both our times. And it's most popular version was sung by The Chipmunks. . . Modesty forbids me from actually singing it. .. .. ..

I especially like the chorus, it's a really magnificent example of English.

Cowboy Troy was on Imus one day this week. Had I heard it on any other morning show I'd have assumed it was a joke. The music is pukeworthy. Like Imus said "Now we can save time by hating two genres of music at the same time".

Well,

Personally, I liked the Purple People Eater better.

(No, NOT the one-eyed, one-armed flying Purple Papal Leader, either.)
