Country music influences them to resort to that lifestyle, perhaps against their better judegement. Maybe somebody didn't want the mini-van or the camo pants for their kids?! The music is to blame! I am making fun here, but that's the point. However, if you want to take it to another level, some serious critical thinking can be done about who is the target of the country format, why, and what should be done to advance the format beyond the lowest common denominator.

I would guess that owners of actual 70's rock concert t-shirts could have a class-action against the bands that wear new, but fake ones so they look hip and un-country (see kenny chesney, brad paisley, lonestar, keith urban, rascal flatts, etc...), because as these bands look cheesy, they are driving down the value and cachet that having a real vintage concert shirt from the 70's offers the owner.
