Mr Intrepid:
She's tempted. We can blame seeing Sven for the blow to her peace of mind. Either Bubbles or Marten will (hopefully) pick up on this and move to buoy her up.

Everybody bags on country music. Why?

It's like the blues, but for white rednecks.

I like the blues.
EDIT to avoid double posting.

--- End quote ---
I suspect you are correct. I generally assume that gleeful ragging on country music is proxy classism. Similarly, ragging on rap and R&B is usually proxy racism. Ragging on any media can often be a proxy for whoever that media tends to be popular with.

Granted, sometimes it's a matter of personal taste as well. Though, sometimes the two get entangled (i.e. someone not allowing themselves to like something due to ingrained racism).
To me; some rap is OK*, hip hop is better, and I generally like R&B.
*excessive repetition (a la You Don't Always Get What You Want) and rascist/sexist lyrics will ruin it for me. Ditto for the artist's voice. I can't listen to Die Antwoord because I find there voices grating.

Eh, no, we can't blame Sven. If Faye falls off the wagon, then it falls on her because she'd be the one making the choice to drink. Now, granted seeing Sven has rocked the boat a little, there is that, but at the same time, it's not his fault that he was there at the same time as Faye. The choice to drink has always been Faye's and blaming someone else for any potential failings is something that alcoholics tend to do, as part of their making excuses to drink.
Gyrre:
I like Faye's way of thinking about it like a food allergy to keep herself from having a relapse.

Errrrrrrh - I don't see how "we can blame seeing Sven for blowing her piece of mind" is equivalent to either blaming Sven, or blaming Sven for Fay drinking?
