SVU Opinions: What do some students think about country music?
I don’t know about the rest of y’all but it almost seems like nowadays pretty much everything is controversial. The amount of arguments I’ve had regarding whether or not a hotdog is a sandwich is ridiculous. (It’s not a sandwich.) Today, we are going to dive into a topic that people tend to be very passionate about and often leads to many debates: Country music.
Let’s get to know some of our fellow students a little bit better as we discuss this extremely controversial topic.
