Musically robbed or robin hood?

I've been driving my dad's car for the past two days while he takes my car to get some small repairs. Naturally, each day I've forgotten to grab my CDs and am stuck listening to the radio for my half-hour drive to work.

I've actually been listening to country. Every 5-6 years or so I'll go through a country phase for a few months, then it ends and I don't listen to it for the next 5-6 years. But for the past few days, country has been nice for me to listen to, mainly because it's basically positive music. No loud, clashing drums, or screaming, just a guy and his guitar, boiled down to the basics. And the majority of the songs are about "wanting a good woman" or something to that effect describing the perfect woman, which is really just about someone he can spoil while she who loves and supports him, in nice terms that don't involve swearing, innuendo or other crass terms. Try singing about that, Kanye West. It's nice to hear a guy, for once, who's not too proud to admit he needs a woman, and not just the first girl on the street who will go home with him, but the right woman. So that's kind of why I've been listening to country. That, and since me and my ex-fiance never listened to country, it's a bit of a fresh start for me. One day at a time, you know.
