I didn’t call anyone specifically a sheep, and if you were to read my original comment without judging, you might understand that I didn’t direct it at anyone nor did I mean to make anyone angry. I’ll be honest here: I don’t like bandwagoning and I’ve seen it happen a lot on SCM. Artists who’ve never been criticized here (or in MG’s case, one’s that have even been commended in comments on certain articles) are suddenly disowned just because they cut one or two bad songs and Trigger writes a negative article about it. I don’t like the traditionalist side nor do I like the modernist side of the country music argument. They’re both based on more generalizations than facts, in my opinion. When it comes to traditionalists, I’ve argued with quite a few who mindlessly slap “modern” together with “pop” or “new” with “crap.” I apologize for not giving you the benefit of the doubt, here. I didn’t mean to phrase my comments to make it sound as if simply not liking or being negative toward MG means that you or anyone else is a “sheep” or “narrow-minded traditionalist.” I was referring more to bandwagoners and those that simply hate modern country music because it’s not Waylon Jennings and they’re so disposed to the idea that modern country is pop that they won’t even give MG’s better music a chance before saying that they hate it. Terry: Wait a minute, I thought you had funny things growing in your hair and all that other stuff . . . I thought . . . write weird music, you know, I thought Unaware of recent developments, both Jeremy and Richard have been on the road for quite some time now in their own cars after stopping for lunch after visiting the Prisoner of War camp. Passing the time by discussing which Jaguar had an overdrive button. Completely oblivious to the fact that their fellow colleagues and partners are catching up to them. And my trademark is to call country stars out when they start acting like douchebags. And that”™s what makes the world go ”™round.” The setup kind of sounds like the 2004 comedy EuroTrip, but with cars. The trio of presenters is on a 1,400-mile adventure through some of the most picturesque locations Eastern Europe has to offer, going through Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Slovenia.
You’re right about Montgomery Gentry having “never been a good band.” They’re a DUO; slight fundamental difference, there. And their music has always been DECENT, if not necessarily great (though they’ve had moments of greatness in the past. “Titty’s Beer” certainly isn’t on of them). May however surely wins the award for the worst car on the special. He chose a 1947 Crosley CC Convertible, a model that was actually one of the first mass-produced slab-sided cars in history. Under the hood of his CC was a 700cc engine, limiting May’s top speed on highways to around 40 mph. Crosley was the brainchild of Powel Crosley Jr. of Cincinnati, Ohio. He believed that cars had become too big and cumbersome, even as early as the 1940s, which was incredibly forward-thinking. Okay, okay, I'm getting out!" Lizzy relents, getting out as James tugs on her shirt to get her to hurry up. "You're just in a foul mood cause you missed the Prisoners of War camp."The reason I brought up their dress is because I felt it was relevant to the idea that these guys are trying to stay relevant by not being themselves, but following the current trends. Now maybe that is not true with Eddie Montgomery, but again, this article was written in a certain context, and should be approach as such. David Allan Coe, the biggest self-promoter in country music history, doesn’t pander to anyone? That’s news to me. Sighing, she turns towards the camera van parked behind the metallic purple hotrod. “Someone’s going to have to set up a camera in there for him.” She says as one of the camera guys walks over. “Careful though, he’s in a bit of a foul mood.”
Hold on a second man, keep it forever? You're so bold. I mean, I don't know if I want to get into this after allWell that she won’t deny. But she just knows that later on James is going to be complaining about driving Titties ‘n’ Beer…. You know the ride in this car is shit, too.” She says, because yes, the ride in this car is terrible. With that in mind, if I insulted you or anyone else in any way I’m truly sorry. I wasn’t intending to INSULT anyone, though I was being extremely negative. In my own defense, however, I’ve only been responding to comments that have been directed at me, not just any old comment on this article (save for one comment at Matt). Scroll up or down and you’ll see. So, technically, I’m not “going ape shit” on anyone but those that decide to start talking with me, and even then I’d argue that I’m not going ape shit at all. Just because I’m venomously defending my opinion doesn’t mean I’m pissed at anyone. The only reason we’re having this conversation is because YOU started talking to ME in the above comments. Either way, you have a point and I have been getting a little too up-in-arms about something as purely subjective as music. FZ: Well I'm gonna make it easy on you, I mean since this is England and everything we don't wanna trundle this thing into the ground, you know. Real simple: all I want is titties and beer. Titties and beer, titties and beer, titties and beer, titties and beer, titties and beer, titties and beer, titties and beer, titties and beer It’s faster than the piece of old garbage that’s dragging along behind us, and that’s all that matters.” James says.
She’s sure both Jeremy and Richard have already agreed on that without her, but just in case they haven’t. And she’s sure they wouldn’t mind going to the camp again, just so James gets to look around, considering how excited James was to go there, and they certainly both feel guilty for not being able to wait for him. Even if for TVs sake they may not have acted like it.She’s not sure what the hell James is up to now as she watches him pull over onto the side of the road in the Crosley, before he’s getting out and slamming the door shut. And he doesn’t look pleased at all. Not that she really blames him, she would be too if she were him. Well… I don’t want to be rude, old chap.” Richard says. “But you’re making a complete hash of this, aren’t you?” No kidding. Do tell me at what point I referred to it as a review, other than in my above response to Matt (which was the result of HIM calling it a review)? And no, I don’t think this exercise is folly. This song DOES deserve to be called out, but differently. I typically enjoy your rants because they tend to be well-written and have something resembling a point to get across that’s intrinsic to the source of the rant (i.e. the song). THIS article could and should have been done better; it’s not up to your usual standards. Had it been, I probably would have been laughing or fuming along with you. But I fail to see how “calling it out” has anything to do with what Montgomery or Gentry choose to wear. It would be fine if you devoted a line or two to this “issue,” but it makes up the majority of the rant. Are we hear to read about the song or how little you like their outfits or hair products that they may or may not use?
Both Lizzy and - surprisingly - James laugh at Richard’s comment. And Lizzy is very glad to see that it has cheered him up some. However long it’ll last though, she’s not sure….

The thing I’m most interested in is how bad must the Crosley have been for you to get into a car that says “Titties ‘n’ Beer” written on the side of it?” Jeremy asks. Well, it’s a very good point, and I did give it a great deal of thought.” James says. “That I decided that I… I can deal with it.”
Great Deal
