Hopefully one day, that grand piano will snap from the wires.

that might be part of the problem
Heh. you could be right. By the way, thanks for the link and the compliment. I don’t know if I’ll ever get to y’all’s level of entertaining, but it’s certainly something to aspire to. :-)

I'm not sure that most real journalists are even making the big bucks; that might be part of the problem. Not much incentive to do a better job in an industry that appears to be dying anyway. By the way, Pistolero sometimes expounds on the comments he leaves here on his own blog, usually in pretty entertaining fashion, so some of you may want to click through his name to check that out. He also posted a Strait concert recap today.

Ha. Our most direct route to Shatner is through Brad Paisley, so we might have to make room for all sorts of superfluous guitar solos on the album as well. We could probably get Jason Alexander in on it too… maybe he knows how to play the bongos.

Oh, and I do wonder…do those “real journalists” who make the big bucks at the “legitimate media outlets” like the Cincinnati Enquirer do ANY sort of research anymore? For one, Alan Jackson didn’t even write “Gone Country,” and for two, I remember in the liner notes to his first greatest hits cd he was quoted as saying he saw the song as a fun song celebrating country music’s widespread acceptance, or something to that effect. Fact-checking and research — it’s not just for bloggers…

I think we should all chip in some cash and hopefully, we will raise enough to get an album made of these country haikus, with William Shatner reading them to some funky bongo accompaniment.

I have accidentally seen Keith Urban on television three or four times and I have the same reaction every time:

Why doesn’t somebody nail his damn feet to the floor?

His jumping around and posing like some guitar god really drives me nuts. I pray that he stays far, far from real country music. We don’t need him and, in fact, I find his presence embarrassing.

Keith Urban is pissing me off lately. I do think he has country influences in there somewhere, but he has to know how far removed his recent music is from them. So I don’t know why he’s gotten so defensive about that recently.

So, apparently Keith Urban thinks gripes about country’s periodic pop leanings started about 1999, if I read that right. In the words of Bugs Bunny, “What a maroon.”
