Shitty Music Retrospective #3

Those who have been waiting patiently for another SMR but do not check the blog often will notice that we have jumped straight from #1 to #3. Well, that's not entirely true. I did do a Shitty Music Retrospective #2 about Eiffel 65 who sang that song "I'm Blue", but Phil said the post was crap, and i deleted it, forever losing it in the ether. Not to worry though, this installment will be a cracker...

Billy Ray Cyrus :

"Achy Breaky Heart" made a lot of ears bleed all over the world, and while he is a bit of an easy target, he is in no way undeserving of being singled out as a shit-music-monger and all-round dickhead.
What bothers me most about Billy Ray is not so much his godawful music, but the fact that he started a trend, or set a standard for male country singers with sub standard singing and writing ability, and only just above average looks. Ever seen pictures of Nicole Kidmans new (druggie midget) husband Keith Urban? Yeah, that's what i thought! Fucking identical! And Keith Urban is Australian, which makes his adoption of a US country music persona all the more vile, but lets not get carried away with Keith. Billy Ray is the real criminal here, and it seems he has not learned his lesson... Billy Ray will soon be releasing (or has already released) a new album of country tunes (that all sound the same - for a change) called... "wanna be your Joe". Seriously. I think what Billy is trying to say is, he wants to be your John, he wants to play whatever tone deaf country fans want to hear, and he wants you to pay him for it. Well, with songs like "I want my mullet back" he can keep trying...


Billy Ray Cyrus Factoid : Billy Ray Cyrus sits down to pee.


True Story : I have never square danced, not even at the Std 5 Grove Barn Dance.
