because you weren't old enough to change the radio dial yourself.
I am the Metallica generation, but I know every word to these songs, too (we didn't have cable until I was in high school).
Does he look like old Elvis?
Sorry Elvis, nothing changed. Welfare didn't work.
Oh god no! No country music when I grew up, that was considered low class.

What did you listen to on the radio?
I grew up on a ranch. It all kind of went together.
I discovered bluegrass on my own. I go to bluegrass festivals at least once a year here. I get invited to a private one that is pretty neat (rich people own their own little concert hall, cool as fuck, but no beer, fucking baptists).
I still listen to this stuff, I love it!
