Nice post, Duke. I agree. I thought I was alone.....
I've seen it said here a number of times that country singers do not want to sing songs that show the "narrarator" in anything less than a positive light.
As if the audience is unable to distinguish between the singer and a character in a song.....
Seems dumb in my opinion - why should we shut ourselves off from half (perhaps the more interesting half) of human nature?
I'm not slamming members here because this advice, as I recall, comes from publishers and industry professionals. And if it's true, and if you want to make it as a songwriter, perhaps it's best to follow it.
Still find it disappointing though.

"The standard by which I now measure the things in my life is the following: If I was on my death bed, or if I knew I had a short time to live, would this issue be important? If the answer is no.. I don't sweat it at all. If the answer is Yes, you better believe it goes to the front of the order of today's business!" -Brian Austin Whitney
