A Little Bit Country...In England
Published 24 July 2006 by Scott | E-mail this post
I don't usually post (or is it blog?) about work just because its not all that exciting.
However I decided to make an exception today due to a very interesting, unusual, and quite frankly, disturbing occurence this afternoon. I was talking to a co-worker, lets's call him James (his real name), discussing some CDs he purchased during lunch and music in general. Somehow we got off topic and country music was mentioned or something.
Then it happend....
James mentioned the wonderful country hit from 1992 by no other than
Billy Ray Cyrus. That's right folks, Achy Breaky Heart. Not only was it mentioned in conversation as some sort of odd fact, but James and another co-worker, let's call her Louise (again her real name) started siging the chorus.
Of all the things, country music in particular, to be exported from The US of A this is the song we decided to let others here. Not only that, but is was performed by someone with one of the worst mullets ever.
No wonder people overseas have a misinformed view of the South and country music.
