"Brazil's Country Music!" It's not C&W, but it's great!

Just listened to some of what the NY Times calls "Brazil's Country Music," and I like it ... a LOT!

Got an opinion on it? Share with us! :)

I know! They seem to love life as much as I do. I need to take a trip there. But first, I need to acquire a working knowledge of ... Portugese, right???

You can not possibly be serious here Old man. It is the worst over commercialised crap that anyone has ever dared to call music.

Indeed. I do recall reading a quote by Bing Crosby that really summed it up. It was something to the effect of "Popular music is one thing that the 20th century has managed to make great strides in reverse on".

I tend to agree, although probably not for the same reasons as Bing Crosby. :eek:

I live in Brazil. Sertanejo is utter and total rubbish. And what is the problem now o oversensitive one. You are old and you are male. Hence you are an old man.

For crying out loud.

Yes, Eutrusca, it IS Portuguese.

And your taste in music sounds par for the course for you. By the way, if you must know, most songs are basically romanticized descriptions of lovemaking and abandonment. :p

Country music makes my knee hurt. See, I used to work on a dairy farm, and there was a radio in the barn. It was always tuned to the local C&W station, and I was not allowed to change the station or turn off the radio. I also used to get kicked in the knee a lot by the cows (apparently, they dislike the milking machines/process). I eventually started to equate country music with pain in my knee, and even now (I haven't worked on the farm since 94), every time I hear country music, my knee aches.

Some therapy would solve this, you know. o_O
