6. Other: I appreciate much of it, and revere the roots music it came from

Sunday

But to listen to any of it on a steady diet of more than a couple of songs in a row is just not for me. I enjoy Americana and Bluegrass most. I appreciate early C&W, bc I know my history as a southerner and a music fan. Bt...I'm not real fond of most of modern country music. The authenticity is so gone. Too much polish, not enough grit.
