But you have to accept that there are exceptions to the suckiness of the genre

That’s not country music, that’s good country music, totally different genre. :angel:

No, it wouldn't apply. Mr. Denver released about 3 pop albums which had a country flavor to them - and a few other artists did at about that same time because electric guitars were finally becoming accepted as a lead instrument in Nashville - which led to a cross-over period where it was extremely difficult to identify a tune as either/or. They were rather genre-fluid, if I can bastardize that other term into this service... :wink: :-D :-)

Actually, come to think of it and talking about Country, has Sven never attended a Country Music Awards or received an award? Do Country fans not know or care one of the most successful writers of Nashville Country is some hipster in a Northern college town? I know like all forms of popular music the majority fans focus on the singers and in county the myth of the singer songwriter is particularly pervasive, so you get your airhead Nashville singers changing a couple words to get a writing credit, but like any form of music you get the superfans and music nerds who follow the writers as well

As uncommon as it maybe among comic readers (myself unfortunately included); stable relationships do exist, and most people aren't perpetually 4 panels of dialogue away from damaging said relationship

Funny you should say that. Long ago I had a fan fic that featured one of my characters who actually recorded one of Sven's songs. She'd heard of him, enough to engage the Plot Device of "we need someone to be a sound board mixer" for a concert at Smif.
Truth be told - and beware, I'm a fan of the city of Nashville (and yes, I have done the touristy trio of the Opry, the CMHOF, and the Ryman) - most country music writers aren't all that rich, but if they get that One Big Hit, that usually is their meal ticket for the rest of their life.
BTW: Garth Brooks and Shania Twain were about the point where country music took a fork in the road into "Country Pop". Those two pretty much led the way for a certain singer who initially wrote about Teardrops on (Her) Guitar.
