There is a big difference in older country music and today’s country music. Older country music tells stories, and today’s just talks about women and getting drunk. If these people did as much drinking as they say they do then we wouldn’t have any new country singers. The newer stuff sounds a lot like hip hop or rap. What does everyone think of when they hear the words country music; that’s what I thought a cowboy. How does everyone picture a cowboy? Is he in skinny jeans and a flat bill hat? No, everyone pictures that fairy tale story about a cowboy and a cowgirl falling for one another. The reason that 90’s country music is better is because, it does not sound like hip hop, it actually tells stories, and it does not just talk about drinking.

On a date to tour the city, George tells Cocoa that “Most people are confined to ghettos by economic circumstances…. the young and talented confine themselves by choice” (Naylor 65). The city is an often cruel, unfair place where “there was little enough of [kindness]…to kill off in one shot” (Naylor 59). It is also sometimes an unfriendly place; the city has a kind of cold, informal aura about it. Take for example, the description Cocoa uses to describe the waitress service at the restaurant: “especially when the check came glued to the bottom of your dessert plate…watching a big greasy thumbprint spread slowly over the Thank You printed on the back” (Naylor 13). The unfriendliness is enough for a Southern girl like Cocoa to turn her back on the city and not give it a chance, as so many others had.

A place where everyone says “hi” to each other, regardless of whether or not they know each other. Thus, she was immediately struck by the strange behavior of her new fellow city-dwellers, from whom you should not expect even a grumbled “hi”. In the country, this seemingly mundane action is necessary, both for the individual and society as a whole. For the individual it is required to not make the person stand out for snobbery, and for society it is necessary to maintain the feeling of community. In the country, people have been and are dependent on each other. Historically, it was necessary for safety reasons. How can you trust someone you’ve never even greeted? In current times, it is for more conventional reasons, such as the mere fact that everyone knows everyone, and your behavior towards one could influence how you are perceived by everyone else.
