Honesty is the best policy
I'm not much of a country music fan, but afficianados tell me that one of the attractions is the inherent honesty in the lyrics. Listening to Radio B&S today (aka 2WEB), I found that this is true in at least one case. Played on high rotation is a song called 'The Truth About Men' (I think), as I loathe and despise all the announcers on Radio B&S I haven't heard the name of the performer (I hate it when popular musicians are called Artists). I think his name is A Bloke. Actually the singer is a sepp, so he's probably called Yo Dude. Whatever, the lyrics are thought-provokingly honest and sincere;
No matter what stories we spin you
When we come crawlin' in
We ain't wrong
We ain't sorry
And it's probably gonna happen again

Have you heard of the university research that found country and western music is a major factor in rural suicide ? Some years ago there was a C&W concert held in Gympie in aid of rural youth suicide ! But then, just being in Gympie is enough to top yourself.
JAFA.
Adie,
have we ever been in a relationship? Suddenly you seem familiar.
Jafa,
I think a lot of people give Gympie a bad rap. Sure, it's got more than its fair share of small-scale dope fiend welfare recipients and you need abseiling gear to go for a walk anywhere, but Tin Can Bay is just down the road, as is BrisVegas and there's some glorious bushland only ten minutes away in the hills. The Freemasons wasn't a bad pub the last time I was there, either (2002).
What about the dog? It's not C&W without the dog.
Tony,
play a country song backwards and you get hired, your wife comes back and your dog gets better.
