Country Hip-hop

I know here in Austin you don’t often hear Country and Hip-hop used in the same sentence, let alone used in conjunction to describe some kind of dance that people do willingly. If anyone finds out where in Canada and the United States Diane traveled to and saw people dancing like this, please let me know so I can put it on my “Sh!tnaw I’m Not Traveling There” list.

With drunken execs dancing on ugly sky-scrapers and homes “under water” in the gulf, its a pretty bold statement. Big ups to Chris for going bold.
