The New Zealand population is divided up into two types of people: Those who hate country music (which is what it is generally called here) and those who don't.* As a former muso, I got quite used to some drunken sot wanting my rock band to play "Old Shep" or some such other dreadful thing, and since our singer was versatile, we generally did them. The requestor and his/her mates would sing along and generally one or two of them would cry if the song was sad - you know, the "my dogie left me for another cowpoke" kind of stuff. They were pretty sad themselves, usually. I'd say that about 10% of NZers love country music and another, say, 20% don't dislike country music - and then there's the rest of us!  * All figures are based on a scientifically designed and carried out survey with a sample population of n = 1

Isn't Canada *responsible for Shania Twain? Yes, AnnaS, that is true...but isn't the US responsible for Britney Spears? Just today, my husband reported that Ms. Spears said in an interview that she likes being famous because she gets to "travel across the ocean to other countries like Canada." Where is she from, Hawaii?

"If the phone don't ring, you know it's me"
that kinda reminds me of one of my favorite answering machine messages:
"Hi. I am probably home, I'm just avoiding someone I don't like. Leave
me a message, and if I don't call back, it's you."
