More Sparks
I am such a slobbering fan of Jack Sparks that he stopped answering my awkward and probably subtextually homoerotic emails long ago, and I don't blame him for that. The unsolicited ravings of a drunk are a dime a dozen to a guy who writes this well. That said, the man is sporadically posting his Top 100 Country Songs ten at a time, and numbers 11-20 just went up.
Dig:
I'm talking about 4 minute ditties on booze and ghosts and pork rinds, and shit like that. It's okay to waste your parents' money on lift tickets and low quality ecstasy at Bela Fleck shows that last 5 hours and consist of 3 songs, but please leave The Gourds out of all that nonsense. Their bass player doesn't take pictures of little girls in boat houses and their drummer doesn't play vacuum cleaners.
That's what we call writing, my friends. You must go read. Any Top 100 Country list that has the stones to put a TOOL song at number 16 is worth taking as seriously as a sweaty meth freak with a shotgun, and for kind of the same reasons.Labels: country, jack sparks, music
