Fellow hater here.

I have little tolerance for Country music to begin with. This was at an all time high on the radio when I went on a trip with another video store manager to set up and open a store like 4-5 hours away. She drove. And listened to country music. Part of my soul died on that trip because we heard Achy Breaky Heart no less than a million times. Between that one and the Watermelon Crawl, I wanted to rip my ears off! 🤣🤣🤣

LOL Sonny. You are on fire here! I love it when you enthuse but I also like it when you deride, and Billy Ray deserves all the derision. FYI, he recently married a woman named FIREROSE (seems apropos) and she was, naturally half his age and she alleges he was a crap husband. Yes, I am embarrassed that I know things like that. As a gen x myself, I can be smug (not my greatest quality) about the brilliant music of my generation. But every once in a while I scroll these 80s hits pages on Insta, and I am humbled when I realize, that for every Yaz and Everything but the Girl, there is also a Bon Jovi and Rick Astley. Shh, don't tell anyone about those guys. Hilarious post. I really did laugh out loud. Thanks for sharing! Now, excuse my while I go poke out my eardrums and fill my ear sockets with lye to get that song out of my head.
