In my opinion entainers that use gimics, are as a rule, covering up their short comings as musicians, and singers, which is fine with me!! I like just about any type music that is well done. Although I am yet to hear any rap, that was well done!! I like do-op, early rock -n- roll, like the Every Brothers, the early Beatles, country like George Jones, Marty Robbins, etc.! In my opinion these people and some other's don't need a crutch, like weard, dress, actions, smoke and morrors, flasing lights, etc. their music speaks for its self! My favorate type music is Really Good  Bluegrass, really good acoustic instruments, and good tight harmony vocals!! much of the songs in bluegras are old stories, songs, brought to the Applitians, by European immigrants, or based on true events! I don't like bad or poorly done bluegrass music, but when it's done right , their is nothing even close, as well as  it is the ONLY TRUE AMERICAN STYLE OF MUSIC, that originated here with influnces from many other styles, gospal, jazz, blues, folk, country, etc. and presented in a very different style!! The people that play this music do it for the love of this music, not money!! The definition of a bluegrass musician is, " someone that takes a $10,000.00 instrument,  gets into his $1,000.00 car, drives 5000 miles, to play for $50.00!!" As Tom T Hall once said, " Ant no money in it, it will lead you to an early grave!!"</p></blockquote><p></p>
