Did anybody know that country music was big in Kenya?

I saw a repeat of a CBS report this morning.

This is amazing to me!

I don't know so much about Kenya but saw earlier today that Larry Gatlin's son was in the hotel that burned in Dubai yesterday. Was not aware that the Gulf Arabs were into shitkicking music.

It's not only Kenya. I hear the guards at my apartment building here in Cameroon listening to country music all the time. I absolutely never hear them listening to present day rap.

ETA Tupac is immortal here.

I gotta believe this. I was at a bar last night. Older black lady was trying to mingle with our group. Im just a genuinely nice person so I entertain her. Even though she looks strung out and borderline homeless from Nola. But it was her first time in thibodaux and she had money so who cares. She was saying how she liked the town and how quaint it was. Then. Willie and ole Waylon Came on the jukebox. Let me tell you she wasn't gonna let any of her babies be Cowboys. She was vibing the frick out.

I bet Kenya Chesney would be a big hit there. No food, no shoes, no problem.

I've ran with a few Kenyans at ULM and all of them were into either gospel or hard core rap
