8. I like the one he did with Crystal Gayle

Check out her '80s dress!!!

[rcrush]

2. Every one since the 70's?

Maybe 80's.

[ornotna]

3. Twenty number one hits is a flash in the pan?

Who'da thunk it. :shrug:

[jobycom]

16. Not to mention a few crossover hits. Most artists would sell their mother's soul for that career.

[Archae]

4. Sawyer Brown.

Where the hell did they disappear to?

Oh, and the Georgia Satellites.

[Sebastian Doyle]

15. The Georgia Satellites weren't really a country band

More Southern Rock really..... and they had at least one other hit (besides the obvious one)

...which was later covered by the Hindu Love Gods (aka Warren Zevon & 3/4 of REM).... but I can't find a video for that one. :(

5. Billy Ray Cyrus

Achy Breaky Heart http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EebObs-vC0

[Archae]

6. His daughter has her own Disney TV show.

Billy Ray Cyrus is a star on the show.

"Hannah Montana"

[sakabatou]

9. The music makes my ears bleed

[doc03]

10. Yea he has quite a little meal ticket there, she does

a hot little poll dance for a teenager. Reminds me of the old Britney Spears.

[jobycom]

18. A cute little song that got tarnished by its own fame.

If it had never sold, most of the people condemning it now would be lamenting how no one appreciated this underground gem. It was just a cute little song that got overplayed. People love to hate--I've never understand that.

7. Who was Waylon Jennings wife? Jessie Coulter?

Anyway, the woman who sang "I'm Not Lisa" back in the mid '70s.

[timtom]

11. Juice Newton?

[Orrex]

12. Which one?

Queen of Hearts, Angel of the Morning, Break it to Me Gently, or Love's Been a Little Bit Hard on Me?

[timtom]

13. I don't know.

I threw that out in pure ignorance.

I worked in a concrete plant in Austin in the early 80's and a co-worker had put a Juice Newton 45 rpm on my desk with a note, saying something like, "TimTom, I'm sorry I missed you and hope to run into you again soon. Juice."

But she never came.

But I did know some of the fine Austin musicians of the late 1970's and early 1980's.

[Orrex]

14. Confession time:

I only remembered two of those by name, but I knew that there were others, so I cheated and used the Google.

[jobycom]

17. Pirates of the Mississippi, Prairie Oyster, Marty Brown

They were all good, hard to see what they failed. Especially Marty Brown (the last one).

[av8rdave]

19. All of them

[donheld]

20. I threw away the pan

[whistler162]

21. Being dead for 11 years is one reason you might

consider him a flash in the pan.
