Modern Country music isn't just about 'drinkin' and cheatin.' Now, it's about moral relativism, too.http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/11/08/is-this-country-star-the-new-wendy-davis.html …
@ron_fournier so you're saying a kiss is just a kiss ("If that's something you're into" :)

@mattklewis to your broader point on culture/politics, I'd like to think that chip Dad gave me influences my work. Conv wisdom? F*** it 4/ -
@ron_fournier I think I have a bit of that in me, too:) -
@mattklewis I know! Which is why I went there ... and why I read you. Your Dad in you? -
@ron_fournier still whispering in my ear. (He wrote & sang this country tune. Not sure if I ever shared it with you http://youtu.be/I47v7yuF6dw ) -
@mattklewis Wow! That is hard-core country music and lyrics. Love it! Is that him on the steel guitar? -
@ron_fournier nope. His bandmate Sonny Purdum (who later made it to Nashville as a studio musician). Dad played bass and mostly sang harmony -
@mattklewis loved it. Thanks for sharing

@mattklewis "It's cool to be different." That chip he put on my shoulder kept me out of (big) trouble. I hear him in her lyrics. 2/ -
@ron_fournier as I note at the end, that is the most generous (and positive) interpretation. I hope that's the lesson young people derive. -
@mattklewis I notice. And I thought to myself what your were missing was the parental influence. That is an affirming song in right hands -
@ron_fournier yep, I could take this song & use it to teach my children positive values. But if I heard this song when I was 13... - End of conversation

@mattklewis you bet. Best thing I learned from Dad is to fight peer pressure by embracing non conformity. "Be a leader, not a follower" 1/Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@mattklewis her song doesn't promote dope smoking and promiscuity as much as it does the inner strength to say no when the crowd says yes 3/Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
