[01:47.13]Lesson 42   Reading²
[01:57.16]Read this passage to get a general idea.
[02:02.20]Is American country music about modern life?
[02:06.85]AMERICAN COUNTRY MUSIC
[02:10.93]During the 1990,American country music has become more and more popular.
[02:18.00]Song writers are no longer writing about the modern values⁴ of the USA--
[02:24.25]money,success or expensive things to buy.
[02:29.52]Instead they are writing once more about things that are common for everyone:
[02:36.19]feeling alones in the mdeern world,
[02:40.24]the value³ of having good friends and so on.
[02:44.70]  In the 1950s,American music was about other things,
[02:50.87]for example,love--getting or losing a boyfriend⁵ or girlfriend.
[02:57.53]Money was also thought to be important.
[03:01.89]  Then in the 1960s song writers turned to other subjects.
[03:08.66]During these years many young students were angry with society,
[03:14.72]so songs were often full of anger⁶.
[03:19.08]Political leaders were not well thought of
[03:23.13]and those songs often made fun of them.
[03:27.28]  Today country music has returned.
[03:31.36]It has become big business.
[03:35.30]It brings in between 200 and 400 million dollars a year.
[03:41.36]Once the home of American country music was Nashville,Tennessee.
[03:47.32]Now,however,the music has reachered all parts of the States,
[03:52.88]from Los Angeles in the west to New York in the east.
[03:58.65]Singers do not just come from the States but from all over the world.
[04:04.61]There are many famous singers from Britain,Canada and Australia.
[04:10.46]A lot of them appear on television too.
[04:14.82] The first country singers sang while playing the guitar.
[04:19.87]It was easy for them to carry a guitar on their travels.
[04:25.22]Now,however,a lot of electrical⁷ equipment⁸ is needed for larger theatres.
[04:31.70]  Country music today remains⁹ much the same as before.
[04:36.74]One subject to which country music often returns is "the good old days".
[04:43.51]In "the good old days" people thought well of each other.
[04:48.78]People loved life in the open air.
[04:52.83]They beleved that the best things in life were free
