I grew up listening to 1980s country music, mostly. Early '90s. That time period was my favorite.

Country music has to evolve in order to survive.

I didn't grow up listening to country music. I pretty much grew up rebelling against country music.

This is not a happy time for this kind of music in this country.

If you are listening to music that doesn't touch you, that doesn't mean anything to you, tune into your country music station,

Country music has changed tremendously, so what now is considered country was not considered country at that time. We were doing stuff that probably could have been called country music today, but would certainly have not have fit in at that time.
