Jason Mraz' Country is a Four Letter Word? (ugh)

I waited patiently for the album to come out and with great anticipation. I listened to and downloaded "I Won't Give Up" from Jason Mraz' new LP. It sounds like country music. Now, music is my passion but I do not like country. It's kind of the way John Lennon felt about jazz. It makes me want to throw up. The only exception might be some stuff Jewel released in the late 90's that sounded like country which was still good because it was more folksy/country ( I DO appreciate a wide variety of folk music)and the other exceptions are Johnny Cash and the song 'Lake of Fire' by the Meat Puppets of which also Cobain did a cover. Some punk music sort of intersects with country but it's quite different because it has a much rougher, jagged sound and I like that. Try as I might, I just can't get myself to download the whole album as much as I love Jason Mraz. Country music is definitely my kryptonite and if you ever want to make me run away and quickly, just play some really twangy sappy country. Eventually, I hope to venture over and at least sample the other songs on the album but I may need to be armed with some cortisone first.
