Is there anything Uncountry about Jason Miller?

Because I didn’t have one subculture or another particularly deeply ingrained to any sort of a groupthink level, I saw the common threads between my disaffected friends who listened to Lynyrd Skynyrd and my disaffected friends who listened to Bauhaus." it applies to me as well, and is a good way to look at the whole "military brat" upbringing. i had a good deal of angst growing up, and i used to blame my folks being in the miliray for a lot of it. never really though of that as a benefit indepth; but it does explain alot.
the video and song feel more like real country than the pop country that gets all the media attention. at times, it felt almost blues-like. my fav part of the video is the ending shots, when he is staring up at the camera from under the brim of his hat. a very intense look.
