Country Music

that's a pretty big claim...name one royal who likes country music (I mean, by your strict definition of what constitutes country, ie bluegrass)...oh heck, by any definition at all...

BTW has anyone seen 'Deliverance'? that hillbilly kid with the banjo gave me the creeps...

The movie " Oh, Brother, Where art Thou" as well as the music brought it to the mainstream.

you're right about country music being pretty big here in Australia. There's a big cm festival every year in Tamworth, New South Wales. It's not popular in the cities, but out in the bush, well it reminds me of that line in the Blues Brothers movie: "we've got both kinds of music - country AND western". There was a band floating around Melbourne a while back called The Bluegrassy Knoll (gedit?)...
