For I have sinned
March 20, 2007May the lord striketh me down, for I have sinned.
I bought me a copy of “Taking The Long Way”. By the Dixie Chicks. I wanted to know what all the hubbub in America during the Grammies and all was about. And now I’m hooked.
You see, besides our national pride Ilse de Lange (country in the cutest package ever; she doesn’t only look the part, she is cute in every sense of the word), country is virtually non-existent here. Apart from a few weirdos like myself, most people here see country as something for people without brains but with palatal rhoticity when speaking English.
In other words, it’s made for me.

Here in the Ohio, it’s always urban vs. rural when it comes to country. I’ve never been one to listen to it much, but the funniest thing is one of my very good friends, Frederik, is from Rotterdam. He was always the guy at work ( we used to fix computers together ) with the 30,000 song playlist on the music PC. One day I heard what I could have sworn was bluegrass country, but it was in dutch! I had been taking it upon myself to learn dutch ( Since he took the time to learn english… and teased me that I was “much too dumb, but a little boy in the Netherlands would have no trouble” :) and picked up they were singing about a football game… In the end it turned out to be Acda en de Munnik. Love ‘em.
