So I think he actually said "mental Tae Bo" referring to the 90s exercise program and how people will effectively do mental gymnastics to NOT hear bad stuff coming from their favorite artists

[@SemperRight]

The "No Jews" part was Bo pandering to the far leftists that want to stereotype people. I've never heard an antisemitic comment in a county song. So why does Bo pretend they do? It's just funny that Bo is pandering in a song about pandering. This bit is funny with great production values, but it isn't honest; it's caricature. What is funny, is how people with the strongest bias tend to project.

I love how he gives respect to the good parts of the genre before absolutely tearing the bad parts a new one. I absolutely love country and there are still fantastic country songs that come out today, their just rarely mainstream sadly. My general yard stick for good country is, if it makes you wanna cry a little bit it’s good, if it tells an interesting story it’s good, if it does both at the same time it’s fantastic. That being said that’s just my personal opinion.

@@adamriggs2698 I think when people think of country they think of Stadium Country, which is the “My boots, my truck, my beer, by a fishing pond” type music. I’m talking about real country and blue grass, the type of thing that tells a beautiful story. I recommend “How do you say goodbye to 60 years” and “When love is all you want, it’s all you need.” When it comes to heart breaking blue grass. For pure country try “Riding with private Malone” by David Ball.
