I agree with Brian. Art and commerciality are two separate things. I'm a singer-songwriter and I like to create art. However, I want a recording and publishing deal, and so I need to know what is SELLING in the MARKET. The audience is the ultimate decision-maker, and if they like it, then it will sell, and so publishers will publish it, artists will record it, labels will release, and radio stations will air it.

My second point is that country music is very down-to-earth-, home-feel-, traditional- like. I am not surprised that that song had great acceptance in the country market.

Thirdly, it if often hard to judge a song (lyrics) without the music. Did all of you who named the song s**t actually "listen" to the song?

Last, you need to understand that art is a very subjective thing. What is art, good, beautiful for some, is garbage for others. My best friend, my bf, my parents, my teachers, love some of my songs and don't like some others.
