What's Up With Simon and Country Music?

It seems clear that Simon doesn't really like country music. Or does he? After all, he is a big supporter of Carrie Underwood, and Kelly Clarkson has been known to sing a country song or two. But he did make a number of digs on Dolly Parton night, suggesting that he really isn't much of a country fan. In today's podcast, I talk about how I like Dolly Parton and her music. I also discuss why I think Randy and Paula also don't seem to be all that knowledgeable about country music either.

Don't they know that country music is one of the most popular genres of music in the U.S.? Well, as Tim Gunn (from Project Runway) would say "it's a question of taste"!
