We don't like country music. But there is one time when country music is needed. When country music is the perfect background music, the only one which makes sense : when driving long distances in the US. And believe me, there is always going to be at least one country music radio station, no matter where you are. In the middle of the Mojave Desert, under the sun in Death Valley, in the Louisiana swamps or in the Floridian Everglades. I assure you there will always be a radio station playing country music. No matter what. Probably it will be the ONLY radio station! So you'd better enjoy the moment. Or the day. Or the weeks! Just as we have enjoyed this winter's hits. The very hilarious 'I wanna talk about me' by Toby Keith. When finally the cowbody tells his girlfriend he is fed up of talking about her. This time, he wants to talk about him! Hilarious. Truly hilarious. Or the bland nostalgic Tim McGraw with his 'Back when'. Man, what a song. It became our pet hate during the trip. The lyrics are unforgettable. The cowboy misses the 'good old things'from the past. Take this: 'I miss back when when a screw was a screw, the wind all that blew and when cracks were what you'd doing when you were cracking jokes...'. Gosh. Every time I hear it I just kind of get into hysterical laughter. Those lyrics. I wouldn't be suprised if he became Number 1 this month!!! Just in case you want to hear these songs and many more that we listened to while in the US, you can at Total country 103.com . Oh and don't miss that song by Lee Ann Womack, 'I may hate myself in the morning'. Or Alan Jackson's 'Monday morning church'. Keep a kleenex nearby. You'll laugh till you die, I promise.


No nos gusta la musica country. Pero hay un tiempo en la vida cuando realmente necesitamos musica country. Cuando la musica country es la banda sonora perfecta de nuestras vidas, la unica que tiene sentido : cuando conducimos largas distancias en Estados Unidos. Y creedme, siempre tendreis con vosotros una emisora de radio especializada en country music, no importa donde esteis. En medio del desierto del Mojave, bajo el sol en Death Valley, en los humedos pantanos de Louisiana o en los Everglades de Florida. Os juro que siempre habra una emisora de radio con musica country. Pase lo que pase. Y probablemente...sera la UNICA emisora de radio! Asi que mejor os relajais y disfrutais del momento. O de las horas. O dias. Igual que nosotros hemos disfrutado los hits de este invierno. La hilarante 'I wanna talk about me' (Quiero hablar de mi) de Toby Keith. Cuando por fin el cowboy nos revela que esta harto de oir a su novia hablar de ella. Que ahora le toca a el, y que quiere hablar de si mismo. Hilarante. Totalmente hilarante. O el pasteloso nostalgico Tim McGraw con su 'Back When' (Cuando en el pasado). Senior que cancion. Se convirtio en el chiste de nuestro viaje. La letra es impagable. El cowboy echa de menos las 'buenas cosas del pasado'-que ni siquiera vivio por si mismo!!. Y dice : 'I miss back when when a screw was a screw, the wind all that blew and when cracks were what you'd doing when you were cracking jokes...'. (basicamente, que echa de menos cuando las palabras tenian un solo sentido. Screw es tornillo pero tambien es joder/follar. Cracks eran chistes pero ahora son el crack, la droga, etc. )Pero Tim, amigo, las palabras siempre han tenido doble sentido. Screw seria tornillo, pero 'jazz' significaba sexo, por ejemplo. Asi que cada vez que sonaba la cancion, nos entraba la risa imparable. Pero que letra! No me sorprenderia si llegara a Numero 1 este mes. Suponiendo que os apetezca escuchar estas canciones y muchas mas que escuchamos durante nuestro viaje en los US, conectad a Total country 103.com . Oh y no os perdais a Lee Ann Womack, con su cancion 'I may hate myself in the morning'. O a Alan Jackson's 'Monday morning church'. Preparad la caja de kleenex. Llorareis de risa, os lo prometo.
