tick tock and they don't start

Guess what? If you view the world through New York Times-golored glasses, none of the significant music releases slated for this summer — as measured by the music industry! — are country music. This narrative convention is now so far into the counterfactual that you have to start assuming these music critics have strange aphasias or had moms who were country singers who beat them. Though come to think of it, "class" remains both a more plausible and a simpler explanation.
