You may not see it and I can understand that you don't. It's not like you ever got to listen to country radio in the USA in the late 1980's! LOL It did get some airplay on country radio. Every Rose Has It's Thorn by Poison was another rock-crossover. It was sickening. I tried to avoid it on the pop stations only to find it on the country stations. LOL The latest example is Picture by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow. It still gets frequent airplay on country radio.
Here's a quote from Jon in an article from today: "The young guys in country now, I think, have more in common with Bon Jovi records of the late '80s and early '90s than they do with Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and the originators of the art form."
