It's Official. I Now Like Country Music.

I had a realization last night as Charlie turned on Pandora's Jason Aldean channel. All of a sudden I found myself tapping my foot in the kitchen, singing along, and envisioning myself on a "front porch with wet hair and a sweatshirt drinking a glass of sweet tea"...or something like that.

I thought "how did this happen"? I am a rock/metal/pop/hip hop lovin girl. Never country! Charlie says its called getting old. I think there's a little more to it, a gradual transition that goes like this...

First, I began to tolerate the lady pop/country hybrids (Faith Hill, Taylor Swift). Then I fell in love with Tim McGraw and Trace Atkins on TV and movies. If I liked the men so much, I figured I better give their music s chance. Next came a bit of southern nostalgia, and then to seal the deal enter Jason Aldean. Georgia boy. Fun lyrics reminiscent of summertime. Interesting beats. And...I am hooked!

Admitting it openly was the final step. My sister will be thrilled about her slight influence on the situation.
