Country music
Just like with politics and religion, folks get mighty passionate about their music! And just like with politics, I'm an independent who loves all kinds of music. While I was shooting for the Country Music Association, I got to hang out with Willie Nelson. Now Naomi Judd had said in her book, Love Can Build a Bridge" about Willie Nelson ... "he is a great listener!" This is something I found to be true. I would vote for Willie Nelson as President in a heart beat!!! Aug 21 05 04:02 pm Link  A Great Listener builds bridges! Aug 21 05 04:04 pm Link I hate to get off topic here...but that is one f*cking cute picture. I remember how much I love bunnies. Aug 21 05 04:15 pm Link Hey Lapis, i know you and you love to get off topic, even though you will eventually circle back to the subject, but this requires patience and faith from your audience. And bunnies really aren't off topic. Bunnies are huge country fans. Even the ones who live in citites really want to run around in the country. And finally there ain't a good bunny country song, but there should be. "He took my honey, my money and ate my bunny, and that ain't funny." Hey Lapis did you know that in France, that being another type of country, they call them lapain, and they stew them in the vegetable they have been stealing.(It's not unkosher but it should be) This reminds me that I have to go back to my book report on Peter Rabbit, a stupid rabbit who steals vegetables from other peoples gardens 123456789..... I'm going to follow the trail of words back to the beginning, which will lead back to the original topic. I too circumnavigate the global topic. In order to get back to West I go East. And west is the road to country music, where the pellets lie, and the air is free, and where the corn muffins grow sky high. OOPS I almost forgot LOL. I want to make that perfectly clear, clear like a country song, three chords and the truth... Aug 22 05 10:58 am Link I just like to watch the videos and see how many blondes are cast as the romantic leads... it cracks me up! Not that I don't like blondes, but it's such a cliche.

The new song they played that was never played in front of anybody before was excellent and will be on thier new CD when it comes out.

WAIT A SECOOND ,,,,,,, I DON'T drive a pick me up truck , slushy gurl Aug 22 05 05:48 pm Link In the last 10 years, only one category of music has seen positive growth in total sales each year: Country. At the rate it's growing in popularity, it will soon out-sell all others in the U.S. Aug 22 05 08:07 pm Link IndianaGlamour wrote: The real statistics over the past 10 years (through close of 2003) Aug 22 05 09:55 pm Link area291 wrote: so, it's actually gone down over the last 10 years Aug 23 05 01:58 am Link area291 wrote: Still humiliating yourself? I received 3 messages from other MM members last night suggesting that you should be banned. Is that what you want? Aug 23 05 06:31 am Link I wet the bed wrote: I don't get it. Does the RIAA not know about music sales? Whay does that have to do with banning someone? Aug 23 05 08:13 am Link Used to not like country either. Then I started shooting for the local country station & now I have to say I like "some" of it. Not in to the crying in your beer & my dog died stuff. Shooting a concert with "Sugarland" Friday & I've met: Big & Rich, Warren Bros, Keith Urban, Trace Atkins & a lot of others. But I think country now is a lot like some of the older rock, like to Doobie Brothers & along that line. Dave Aug 23 05 08:21 am Link Oh by the way, Emerson Drive put's on a hell of a show! And if it's a club they're playing in, they usually come out after the show & meet everybody. At least they did here. Dave Aug 23 05 08:24 am Link I wet the bed wrote: Based on what? Aug 23 05 08:29 am Link OK. As a musician, I would like to point out that people that can read music listen to classical and jazz, yet those two art forms amout to only 3% to 5% of total music sales. People who can't read music (illiterate) listen to whatever is fed to them. This discussion amounts to a conversation about which comic book is better.
