Apparently there's an up and coming teen country sensation named Taylor Swift (who isn't to shabby in the looks department). Don't fret, I'm the Vice president of Music and I haven't even heard of her. Anyway, during a concert at what looks like, and most likely is, a county fair she covered part of Eminem's "Lose Yourself". Which is the Oscar winning song featured in the movie "8 Mile", which starred Eminem and everybody's favorite Black TV doctor, Mekhi Pfeifer.
If you watch the video below, the cover only goes up tot he 2 minute mark. After that I suggest you stop viewing. I like how the guitar player gets into it during the opening of the song by jumping up and down in one spot. Ridiculous. Does everything having to do with country music be the exact opposite of progressive and ground-breaking. It's like first there was Patsy Cline, then Johnny Cash and Elvis, and then country musicians decided to stop inovating and said, "Fuck it, let's have every country song sound the same way. Who'll notice?"
Randy Travis, that's who noticed. Both he, his nice car, his inability to write a decent song. and his lack of talent thank you.
