I totally disagree with Geoffrey Himes comment about Taylor Swift: “She needs to tap into the subsoil of country-music history or else she will easily be toppled by the changing winds and trends of pop. And that would be a shame.” The more I think about that comment the more my mind is filled with a screaming WTF!!! Mainstream country music is moving further away from traditional country styles every day to a pop-rock format except for rare “new artist” exceptions like Jamey Johnson on occasion. Taylor is dragging Top 40 country further into the Pop realm as that’s where her fans are based and if she went “more country” her Disney Channel fan base might lose interest! While Geoffrey sees Taylor losing momentum being a bad thing if she disappeared tomorrow from the country music field I would be relieved (and maybe a bit giddy). I prefer Chet Flippo’s fairy tale version where Taylor retired at age 20 while at the peak of her career and disappeared….

You mean other people besides me labeled Carrie a”fembot”? Hmm… It sounds like Carrie’s nickname in the future may be “The Muffin Top Fembot”! On the other hand she could market her own Abs/Thighmaster type exercise device via infomercials and sing on the workout DVD! Suzanne Sommers look out! (lol)

For you young-uns “hickey’s” were what we called pimples and blemishes back before the word “zit” came along to replace it. Therefore just substitute “zit” for “hickey” in Ricky Skaggs’ comment and the awkward sexual connotation thankfully disappears…

Did Carrie Underwood call her mom fat?

The Conway Twitty haiku is hilarious.

Lest there be any confusion, I’m pretty sure the above comment isn’t from the real Jesus.

That’s funny, Jen. I envy your ability to spot famous musicians wearing capes in everyday settings. It doesn’t happen much out this way. Good on Marty for being cool enough to pull it off.

That Lee Ann Womack song stinks. Godd**m candy-ass pious schlock-fest. That’s two weeks in purgatory for you now, Womack.

I have seen Marty Stuart in a cape. It was black wool and lined in silk purple satin, entirely suitable for a minor superhero, but a little sedate by Presleyian standards.

I can’t remember if I saw him at Kroger or Target–definitely not Waffle House.
