I was in Georgia and SC a lot last year and would cringe at the sound of Country. Thankfully they have an alternative radio station in the Augusta area so that's what I would listen to - and when I was out of range I'd tune into NPR. I'd rather listen to a radio documentary about a new water well in a Pakistani village than a country song!
One redeaming feature about "the South" is their women. Hot (mostly) with sexy southern accents.
