Coming to terms with Country

I spent the weekend in Baton Rouge at LSU for a two day country concert.  Having always embraced the ABC (Anything But Country) mentality, I was pleasantly surprised with how much fun I had, despite me not knowing most of the songs. 

Keith Urban's stint was hands down my favorite.  I really enjoyed his pseudo rock/country vibe.  I was surprisingly disappointed in Taylor Swift's show.  I love her voice and her music, but her performance left much to be desired.  Most of the time she was just looking around the stadium which gave off the impression that she was in awe of the crowd in front of her and didn't really know what to do with us.  She wasted a lot of time in between songs and added a lot of fluff to her performance (ie video, just walking through the crowd, and a lot of story telling.)  All in all, if you were a 10 year old female, you enjoyed it, but as an adult, I liked the no frills approach that Keith, Kenny, and Brooks & Dunn chose.
