    My grandfather told me he liked Western, but he didn’t like Country. Blew my mind as I’d always just heard it as Country-Western.

      Have you ever watched Blues Brothers?

      “What kind of music do you play here?”

      “Oh we have both kinds, country and western.”

        I remember that but I think I just interpreted as a joke about Country Western more than an indication they used to be distinct genres.

        Been replaying New Vegas, now I’m getting flashbacks to the tune of Johnny Guitar.

          Yeah I think the devs accidentally included the file for Johnny Guitar twice. So if it feels like it’s playing twice as often as any other song, it’s because it is.
