Country Music is Suicidal

And so can you!

It's official. Increased radio airtime of country music --> increased suicide rate. Apparently this isn't as much of a newsflash as it might be; the study was released in 1992. But it used regression analysis to control for all the other variables that affect suicide rate and demographics, and concluded that the more country music on the radio, the higher the white suicide rate.

I enjoy a little country now and then, but I've generally considered it best for my health to seek other modes of melodic entertainment. A techno song a day keeps the doctor away (and those voices too)
