This was a part of the “What Doctors Don’t Tell You” E-newsletter today:
GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD: Country music makes you suicidal
It’s something we’ve suspected for a while, and now researchers have confirmed it: country music can make you suicidal.
Researchers found that American cities in which radio stations played a higher than average amount of country music also had higher than average suicide rates. Only the white populations in the cities were affected by the music - because they were the only ones to listen to it. Suicide rates among the African-American communities were no higher than in the cities that had the good grace to broadcast something else.

(They forgot to mention that watching Shania Twain/Mark McGrath’s video “Party For Two” has the same effect).
Well yeah, all this “she left me” and “my baby don went and died” talk is enough to drive ANYONE to want to end it all! lol This is too funny-I laughed out loud when I read it-oh what will the country world do now?? haha
