Really, it blows my mind how so many people just assume everyone lives in a city. There are rural areas, and people still do live here, jackasses. Christ, I swear, this type of **** pisses me off to such a degree.

This. I live in Ashland, KY, and we do get some bigger acts at our Paramount Arts Center, but at the same time, these are predominately country acts and not really what I want to see most of the time.
Mostly, what I see in my city is local bands. Once I saw Todd Snider here, John Prine once, and LeAnn Rimes once.
I have to travel at least half an hour to get to a city with bars that have acts like The Queers, Bomb! The Music Industry, or something I actually want to see.
To see bigger acts, I have to go to Lexington (2 and a half hours or so) or Louisville (3 hours or so) or to Cincinnati or Columbus, OH, both of which are three hours away or more.
So basically, most concerts I'd be really excited about, I have to travel 3 hours minimum to see...occasionally even more, depending on the act.
