This is a blog devoted to the ideas and analysis of BSU students as they discover, listen, read, analyze the works of various musical artists, across various genres, whose music centers on political, social, and/or cultural issues. The ultimate goal of the class, other than focusing on the students' writing skills, is to allow them the space and time to express their own opinions and ideas, to expose them to music that can and has made significant change.

Country Music
This week in class we learned about country music. We discussed the stereotypes and tendencies of it's listeners. When thinking of country music, words come into my head like patriotism and "redneck." But these aren't things to be ashamed of. People act the way they want to act and express themselves through music. We listened to a few country songs with outdated views on our country. These are thing that are tough to look back on, but just because one person does something, it doesn't mean it is the opinions or actions of a whole group. The songs discussed show how far we've come as country.
