What Your Taste in Country Music Says About Your Weekend Plans

Your favorite country artist says a lot about you and your likely plans for this weekend.

Miranda Lambert 

Go dove hunting Saturday morning while your dumbass boyfriend stays home nursing

a hangover and a black eye he got from saying something stupid Friday night.

Luke Bryan 

Update your Luke Bryan Tumblr page and wish you had a guy

with a truck to take you to a field and drink beer on the tailgate.

Dwight Yoakam 

Go out for a Harley ride with your other retired friends.

Jason Aldean 

Get stuck in a gravel road rut in your Accord with your girlfriends

driving out in the country trying to find a pasture party.

Brantley Gilbert  

Take practice GED. Steal propane.

Casey Donahew Band 

Hang with bros. Drink beer. Pump fist. Repeat.

Ashley Monroe

Puff a doobie while studying for the bar exam.

Florida-Georgia Line

Fight with your girlfriend in public. Miss a MMA training session Saturday because of an

apple pie moonshine hangover. Get a speeding ticket in your Ford Raptor Sunday afternoon.

Idea kinda sorta lifted from this.
