Goodbye Bro-Country…??!!!

RollingStone.com put together a list of the "10 signs Bro Country May Be On The Decline."
"Girl in a Country Song" by Maddie & Tae —is a remarkably witty, point-by-point rebuttal of a slew of "bro country" hits.

They are songs that depict the seduction of barefoot, scantily clothed, wordless, nameless young women. "We're lucky if we even get to climb up in your truck/keep our mouths shut and ride along/and be the girl in a country song."

FLA-GA Line’s new song is not about bikini babes, but “Dirt”

Kenny Chesney’s "American Kids" focuses on the youthful impulse to figure yourself out by tasting your small town's pleasures and testing its limits. " "There’s so much more to country than trucks, creek beds and cut-offs,"
 
Dierks Bentley's  "Drunk On a Plane," is a party song with a radically different setting and storyline: the girl's out of the picture, but she's left her mark emotionally.
 
Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood's "Somethin' Bad," has a Thelma & Louise-like tale with expendable male characters. Lambert says bro country “has this whole theme of party and tailgate and bonfire — I love all that stuff," "But there is so much more you can sing about and say."
 
Eric Paslay’s "Song About a Girl"…"This ain't about tailgates," he sings in the opening verse. "Ain't about bonfires/Ain't about souped up cars, water towers/Drowning in a bottle of Jack/This ain't about Chevys/Ain't about money/Ain't about blue suede shoes, coo-coo-ca-choos/Got nothin' to do with that."

Tim McGraw has come forward to explain the slapping of a fan after she ripped his pants at his Atlanta show last weekend.
Tim said it happened in the heat of the moment. It was just one of those things that happens and nobody feels good about it and nothing can be done about it.
 

Jason Aldean will be the first to admit that his new single, "Burn it Down," is a bit of a departure from what fans are used to hearing from him. Jason Aldean says the song is not what you'd expect from him. "It probably is the steamiest song that maybe we've ever put out.”
 
Brantley Gilbert, Justin Moore and The Band Perry will perform in the infield at Saturday and Sunday's NASCAR races at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Chris Young has just picked up his sixth number-one hit with "Who I Am With You." Chris says it was just the love song he needed for his album A.M. it's something you want as a first dance at a wedding” 
 
 

 
1.  If you want to zoom in on the other people in their photos on social media, take a screenshot of them.  Never zoom in while browsing on your phone.  You could double-tap by mistake and end up liking the picture, and then they'll know you were there.
 
2.  Use fingerprints and smudges on their phone screen to figure out their password.  This is more for keeping tabs on your significant others, and if you're jealous enough to do it, your relationship is probably broken anyway.  But that's your problem.
 
3.  Check the "Archived" message folder on their Facebook.  It contains instant messages they THINK they've deleted.  Again . . . not our business why you would ever feel the need to do something like this.
 
4.  Use a simple HTML trick to view private profile pictures at full size.  It involves opening the small image in a new tab, and then changing the URL to remove the code that makes the image small.  So you can see their friends up close.
 
5.  Google their cell phone and email address instead of their name.  Then you can see exactly where the target has been entering their contact info online.
 
6.  You can use an app that sends you straight to voicemail when you call someone.  Then you can use someone's phone to call the numbers you don't know, and find out who they belong to.
 
7.  Do a filtered search on Facebook to find your competition.  You can search for friends who work with someone, or go to school with them.  And you can specify male or female to narrow it down to possible romantic interests.
 
 
8.  Get in their phone and enable their "Send Read Receipts."  From then on you'll know when they see your texts, and they won't KNOW that you know . . . unless they go back into their settings and see what's been changed.
 
9.  Obviously, log out of your LinkedIn profile before you stalk anyone.  Because LinkedIn sends notifications to your connections when you've visited their profiles.
 
10.  Clear out your browsing history when you're done.  Never leave a trace behind.
