À la Courage: "The things we do for love"

Don't let that drive you away. Give some off the radar county a chance. Their fan bases are a lot more chill.

I personally love country music, but will admit it is a very acquired taste. Kudos to you for sticking it out to make your wife happy!

Is it just me or isn't anybody at all curious about why he was punched twice?

suck it up! marriage is all about compromise. it's HER birthday, stop whining and making it about yourself.

Hey guys, OP here. While the music itself wasn't the worst thing in the world, and I did find out that Luke Bryan can be very funny, I found that the people who attend country concerts really aren't my cup of tea (I'm more of a pop punk/alternative kind of guy, i.e. blink 182, Yellowcard, etc.). To answer one question about getting punched, it turns out the guys behind me were very drunk and felt like messing with someone, and they picked me. So they each punched me in the head, and then one of them dropped the beer on me. I didn't have to do anything about it because the people around us kicked their asses and made them leave. And as to the people saying "suck it up," we all do things we don't enjoy for love, but when it crosses the line to physical violence and bodily harm, it becomes something that you can bitch about. She puts up with my geeky shit all the time without complaint, and I wouldn't have had a single complaint about spending my night at a country concert, but I went home cold, wet, smelling of beer, and in a lot of pain. I earned the right to bitch a little bit.

You are a good guy

things we do for love...

that's so sweet of you!

The only concert I've ever been to where someone got violent was Sammy Hagar. Country concerts are a walk in the park compared to that mess.
