    Or his remake of "I Swear".
     
  2. Just for that, I'm rooting against Davidson.

    Hey, I know my early-90s country. I don't like the genre much anymore, but if you grow up in the South you can't avoid it completely. Just don't ask me about John Anderson and "Money in the Ba-ay-ay-ank" ... fucking hell.

    And just like every high school girls basketball player's favorite movie since 2000 is invariably "Love and Basketball," every school dance from 1994 on has had a healthy dose of John Michael Montgomery. (The other one y'all didn't mention was the obvious: "Life's A Dance.")

    I will go shoot myself now.

    At least you didn't go to college when every sorority wanted to cop "I Will Survive" as their theme song. Good times, hearing that song start at the campus bar and watching the dumbass sororities dancing and singing while throwing the evil eye to the other dumbass sororites who dared to dance and sing along.

    I always hoped for a cat fight, but it never happened.

    Every now and then, when my job takes me down south, I'll hop in my rental car and let the radio scan its way to the nearest country station. It's like an instant time warp. I never, ever listen to that stuff anymore, but in high school, where I grew up (rural West) the shit was ubiquitous. And without even understanding why, I'm bopping along, singing out loud to "Bigger Than The Beatles" by Joe Diffie or "My Heart Has a History" by Paul Brandt. (That reference to John Anderson's "Money in the Bay-yan-yan-k" just gave me and uncomfortable shiver.) Some of the songs are just awful, but some of them actually warm my heart a little. Like if I catch Hal Ketchum's "Heart Are Gonna Roll" or JoDee Messina's "Heads Carolina, Tails California" or, especially, "I Can Still Make Cheyenne" by George Strait, I start thinking about all those first crushes I had on frizzy-haired girls in jean shorts. They're lawyers and doctors now, oddly, and I'm like one of those dudes in a Toby Keith or Billy Ray Cyrus song, driving around, staring up at the moon, thinking about all those yesterdays.

    Four words:

    Small Town, Saturday Night.

    Some country from that era is absolute bullshit.

    But Hal Ketchum, I'll defend. Small Town, Sat. Night kicks ass.
