This sums up my day and life recently:
And what about country videos? LolIf historians of the future go by American hip hop videos, they'll conclude in the 21st century black men all wore white silk suits and everyday they tried to get their girlfriend back by buying her a BMW made of diamonds, The woman responded by getting all her friends to wiggle their arse by a swimming pool and that was what life was like to be black in America.
Country has dozens of tropes; Religion, booze, patriotism, the South, redneck or blue collar lifestyle, relationship struggles and nostalgia to name a few.And what about country videos? Lol

But my favourite is everyman relatability, Country stars spend a lot of time writing songs that make you think they haven't forgotten their humble, country road roots.
Of the top of my head, take Billy Currington's " That's How Country Boys Roll. " You could stop by Billy Currington's place any time for a beer, he's just like you! Except not, because even though he's singing about living hard and tough and then having "a cold one" after a long day's work, the video shows him snorkelling with dolphins. You know, just like all country boys! But setting aside Currington and his band of country snorkelers, country music is still incredibly relatable to the average Joe. Who hasn't wanted to say to a boss, " Take this job and shove it! "?.

The term psychedelic, from the Greek for “mind-manifesting”, was coined by Humphry Osmond, a British psychiatrist working in Canada in the 1950s. “To fathom hell or soar angelic / Just take a pinch of psychedelic,” he wrote in a letter to the writer Aldous Huxley

We hit 42 this week, central air couldn't keep up anymoreYep. The summer heat has officially arrived - 35 C tomorrow, not a frggin’ cloud in the sky. Ugh. At least we have central air in the house.
Ohhh, sick!! We had the horrible 'heat dome' last year in BC - got up to 41 C here. Thankfully, our A/C did the job but it was running almost continually. Are you surviving the heat OK?We hit 42 this week, central air couldn't keep up anymore
