Gay modernism

Lol

No good

I know if we forget god too

so this must be good

Louvin brothers is good

because it's there at the back of the mind

More than half a century ago, while I was still a child, I recall hearing a number of older people offer the following explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia: Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened.

Since then I have spent well-nigh fifty years working on the history of our Revolution; in the process I have read hundreds of books, collected hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already contributed eight volumes of my own toward the effort of clearing away the rubble left by that upheaval. But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous Revolution that swallowed up some sixty million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened.

What is more, the events of the Russian Revolution can only be understood now, at the end of the century, against the background of what has since occurred in the rest of the world. What emerges here is a process of universal significance. And if I were called upon to identify briefly the principal trait of the entire twentieth century, here too, I would be unable to find anything more precise and pithy than to repeat once again: Men have forgotten God.

They did a lot of good songs about SATAN

If we forgot God was heavy

approved

11/10

But even this kind of thing is getting pretty far from the real original Appalachian music

Into constructed songs with solos and bridges and so on

the only problem I have with this is yeah

its pretty ol opry

it seems like it's been streamlined

That Clifton hicks might be the closest

for consumption

"Country music", even the good stuff, is mostly product

also good, Satan's jewelled crown, but not as good as the last one

that's a track for @༺པརབྱར།བསངཇ༻

If we forgot God

Carter family is good

Also opry-ized

The stories and pictures in most magazines
now feature new stylings unfit to be seen
They're placed on the newstand where children can buy
when they go wrong do we wonder why.

But to get back to the original point

While this style of music has become popular all over the place

It's basically Scots Irish

Not "american", really

It's expected that sound of the British Isles would become folk music of the Americas

Since German folklore elements were essentially blocked by Anglification of the German population

I assume that yankees and jamestown descended people had their own more English styles of folk music
