You’re Looking at Country: Tough Love (Parenting Edition)

Forget Dr. Spock! For the sake of the children, we urge you to attend this master class in parenting, with tuneful tips culled from classic video performances by child-rearing experts including Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, George Jones, and the late, great Merle Haggard. These trad-country deities have much wisdom to impart about the the dreadful dichotomy between how perfect their own mothers and fathers were, and yet, how horribly they went wrong in raising their own young’uns. So join us for an instructive evening of tales about philandering dads, depressive mamas, heartbroken kiddos, and above all, alcohol-fueled destruction of the family unit. You’ll leave the show uplifted and buoyant, realizing your own childhood was perhaps not quite so bad as you remember it.
