Ever hear of Garth Brooks?? Yeah, I know, "another country singer". You're probably asking "What the hell has gotten into Harv??" Has he now decided to narrowly focus on Country??? . . . Well the simple answer is NO! Although I must say I have a current tendency to lean toward Country. More so in the last 15 years or so.
Have you been listening to POP today??? Most of this stuff I wouldn't play in public. The lyrics in many of these songs are really too nasty to repeat!
Country, on the other hand, has remained (mostly) clean American stuff. Jake Owens is an example. Jake's songs, "Beachin" "Cruisen" "Barefoot Blue Jean Night" are songs I would have loved in High School and would happily play to the grandkids. I've played all these selections on the turntable.
So there you are . . . I suppose I am bit country.
Now to the point! Some of these country guys have pretty big heads! You know that when you can see their 10 gallon hats are about 2 gallons short!
Many of these singers are good, and I mean, "Really Good". But is there no one who might duplicate their performance??? Nothing against Garth Brooks but I will use him as an example. Here's Garth singing one of his most popular songs.

If you look carefully you might see where his hat slides around a bit during this performance . . . so he may not have a "big head". But I'm sure he thinks his voice is totally unique. Nobody could sing it like Garth! Right?
Well I'm here to tell you that ANY DUMMY could sing that song! Here let me prove it! Witness "Walter T Airdale"! Let's give it up for Walt!!!

So what is true for famous singers is also true for us. Next time you think you are totally unique . . . check your hat size! Oh! . . and make sure your head is not made of wood! . . . Just sayin!
