    I’m 40 and I grew up listening to rap mostly and metal. I grew up in an era where, at least where I lived, there was this “I listen to everything but rap and country” attitude. There is really great music everywhere you look. It took me a while to look at country to realize what I was missing, though, so I guess I was a part of the problem.
