Oh gawd, the Randy disease is spreading :)

Maybe I typed it that way cos of her ridiculous red dress....I didn’t, but you don’t know that. 
And yes, your song sucks too :)

It’s that stupid ‘ Stand by your man ’ song. I had never really listened to the words before last night. It’s ridiculous. 

Context, both historical and personal.  Tammy Wynette wrote that song. She was closer to my mother's age than mine.   The song came from her life, a life that I am so fortunate not to have lived.  She lived for years in the same city as my home town although she was born in the next state over.  Many knew her and knew about her because, well, she was a beautician and those placed were the castles of gossip.   If you read her book............you would find it amazing that after all she went through she still believed that marriage is 'through good times and bad.'  She died at 55 but in an earlier interview she speaks to those women who hated this song.

“Stand By Your Man” turned out to be the career song for Wynette, thus making her name a household word. When Sherrill and Wynette wrote the song, the women’s movement was just beginning to take hold. Although Tammy’s hard-core country fans loved the number, women’s groups from coast-to-coast took exception with the song’s conservative lyrics. Recalls Wynette in a 1977 interview with Joan Dew, “It’s funny that song caused so much commotion from feminist groups when you consider we wrote it in about twenty minutes. But they took it the wrong way. I didn’t sing the song to say, ’You women stay home and stay pregnant, and don’t do anything to help yourselves. Be there waiting when he comes home, because a woman needs a man at any cost.’ No, that’s not what I was saying at all. I guess I’ve proven that I don’t believe in staying with a man you no longer love. All I was saying in the song was ’Be understanding. Be supportive. There’ll be good times and there will be bad times, but if he’s worth being with at all, he’s worth seeing through the bad times.'”

That‘s interesting, thank you :) I wasn’t aware of the history behind the song. I think I mentioned somewhere else here,  last night was the first time I had even really paid attention to the lyrics. I wasn’t impressed lol. 

I'm not a real fan but remember the women talking about her when I was a kid.  Sometimes in a not-so-nice way.  But, I've read a bit about her and her life taken as a whole was hard.  She could sing and fix hair.  Now that's a country song all by itself.  :)

Lol, it is :)

Yep, that one is pretty bad too:)

Lol:) I was listening to another old country song last night,  then this one came up after on YouTube. I was in no MOOD for that bullshizzat song last night. 

You weren't eating ice cream straight out of the half gallon container, were you ? 

No, wine straight from the box. Actually that isn’t even true. I was so full of food,  I couldn’t even drink. Maybe that’s why I was in a mood :)

What’s wrong with these women. -_-
