So I read a blog this morning and about threw up. It basically was a video of Brad Paisley prancing around in the rain ruining a bunch of beautiful guitars. Then I had a friend post a video on Facebook that displayed actual music (not to mention respect for 6 stringed instruments.) So I thought this would make a great death match. Though, I think I do a disservice to John Mayer's music for pitting him against something so beneath him. Please hang on while musical snobbery takes over and I briefly explain the difference in complexity between a typical country song and that of a life long lover of the guitar, singer, and songwriter. Is this blog about Brad Paisley vs. John Mayer? No, truthfully, if I was told I could go out and have supper with one of the two and music was off the table as topic of conversation, I would pick Brad Paisley in a heartbeat. Is this a gleaming example of why country music is sub-par to...well...almost everything else (with the exception of...maybe...worship music :) Oh, and rap doesn't really even count as music. I actually heard a country song the other day where the girl singing rapped a bit. I never thought you could mix the two, but it's true what they say. When you mix country and rap you really do get crap. The following is not meant to offend, but to educate.

See? That's what I mean.
