36. I do not respond to sensationalism about new music being usually hype from A&R People

When I heard the DC version of Bob Wills & The Texas Playboy's of Roly Poly i was hooked.
Country music at the time was dominated by the Gaylord Family who believed they owned Nashville after buying the old part of town and erected the hideous Grand Ole Opry Hotel.

I was delighted then when the stars who fled for Branson fought tooth and nail to keep the Gaylords out and won.


After the 2000 sElection,i knew the fix was in to turn this country into a third world labor camp,i was delighted at this article from the Onion News and again gratified that the Chicks had been the ones to finally thrown a pail of cold water on the 24/7 MSM murder boner sometime around 2003:
