To put that number in perspective, if you stacked all the jewel cases, you’d end up with a pile over 49 miles high.

This edition was the best! So good in fact, that I did overlook the Natalie Maines one. :) Can you please explain the Ernest Tubb one though, C.M.? Guess I'm not catching it.

Strait's famous line in Pure Country was "Go on, get your ass outta here." Joe Diffie records lots of novelty songs. For some reason, I thought those facts could go together. Yep, weird. I don't know what to tell ya. The Maines thing isn’t musical or political. She’s just a very vocal woman.

Don't quite follow the Strait/Diffie thing though. Hmmm…ouch on the Maines jab, but to each his own.
