Not having to listen to the pop-rocking schmucks at the Ticket* talk about pointless tool Cowboy Troy’s new rap-country album:

Even since Troy made his debut providing a robust rap on the Big & Rich single “Rollin,” he’s excited some fans and appalled others. The debate will certainly continue with Loco Motive, as it blends, mixes and sometimes sandwiches hip-hop, country and rock.

No, there is no debate. It’s a bunch of marketing crap-talk, and it’s completely useless to anyone with a passing appreciation of country and western, and it’s totally typical of the tampon-selling shite that Nashville expects their fans to swallow. Open wide, idiots…here comes a barn-shovel of manure for you to chomp on. More from Mr. Ron Wynn:

Personally, it’s enjoyable to hear someone stretching and testing idiomatic limits, and the attitude and musical sensibility remain heavily country, if not completely so. It will certainly be interesting to follow the reaction that Loco Motive gets in the coming weeks from the country establishment.

Ass-kissing ignoramus. My bold, because “the country establishment,” as it is defined in Nashville, is completely effed in the head, so who gives a damn what kind of reaction they might dredge up from the depths of their collective thimble-deep souls? I’m sure they have a Word macro to praise this kind of schlocky junk. Of course, it will sell millions to the fooking idiots who still starch their jeans and listen to the Wolf or whatever is the Tennessee butt-muncher station around here.

Gah — this would ruin my day if I didn’t have HUGE plans to do some more good and fine Texas music around these parts over the next few months. Screw the revenue and the appraisal district. I’m gonna buy some goats for the ag exemption and lock the damn gate. I work too hard.

* Head honcho has a Tom Petty cover band. Need I say more? Don’t think so. Relevance = zero.
