Country music

Okay, thread derailment time-
My kids were born in 89, 91, and 95 and anyone who has kids from that time may remember when Satan roamed the Earth dressed as a big purple dinosaur named Barney that turned childrens brains into mush.
I had forgotten about him until I started following the AK thread and saw the OPs screen name and I heard that silly dinosaur voice singing "Peanut...peanut butter...With Jelly!"...
I may have to Red Flag myself if it doesn't go away...

I would say something, but it would be taken as disrespectful by our overlords, even though I consider you a friend and that you can take a joke in the spirit with which it was given. Know what I mean?

If you like the "old country" move on back a few years to when it was "counter & western"
Much of todays music is about three notes and a beat but no melody --

[pavogrande]

Monroe - yes
Also the sons of the pioneers
Scruggs and flatt = bluegrass -
Radio was king then with Saturday Night Barndance and Grand old opry --
Oh, and a nickle for the big wurlitzer with the 78s, no 33s yet --

Best country music right now is Miranda Lambert in my view. Yeah, she's married to an ex-NYPD cop now, but over the years she's been the best country star in a long time.
