Actually I can line up dark, disturbing and depressing songs involving murder and mayhem for hours on end with CR's music bank. But anyway.
I want to read the rest of that paper badly now. I'm curious though. Why would it seem natural that things like heavy metal/goth music with similar (though granted more obvious) themes be automatically considered ripe for things like depression and suicide, but country music elicits such shock at the notion? Have you *listened* to it?
Sorry, hopped up on painkillers and the sociologist in me tried to crawl out again...I'm genuinely curious though.
It's available to me through J-Stor, the university journals database. I can't e-mail it anywhere, or even the link, because you have to be affiliated. But I can read it, and I can print it and send it to you (Sekhmet). I have a long bus ride later to mid town -- a good chance to read it (runs about 8 pages). Looks legit, though, or one hell of an expensive joke on the academy.

Grew up on Country music...50's 60's and 70's, that stuff they play today, well, it ain't country and it's barely music. Country music can trace it's roots back through Bluegrass all the way to the mountain music enjoyed by the Irish, Scots and English immigrants. Their folk and traditional music is with us still today and I love it...But suicide? Are you daft, come on now, with all the trash music out there that's so dark and violent? Bye the way, do you know what you get when you play a country song backwards? His girl comes back, he gets a new truck and his dog doesn't die...Amen

Blue Grass not country has its roots in Celtic folk.

One can not profess to be of "GOD" and show intolerence and prejudice towards the beliefs of others.

Sad statistics. i believe if your suicidal any type of music or usually a particular song, can make you feel sad. then i guess its up to the individual as to the action they take when they hear a sad song. my brother committed suicide while he had a country song playing on repeat. i dont blame the music or the song. he committed suicide because he couldnt deal with lifes challenges. i love and miss my brother every minute of every day. music helps me fight sadness. i guess its all how you look at life and how the music affects your spirit.
