I caught the Johnny Cash special on one of the country TV stations last nite. During the commerical breaks, they were advertising for a country music award show that was coming up. I only recognized 5 or 6 of the names, and they were all people I don't listen to or respect.
    If have to hear Toby Keith make a popluar catch phrase into a song one more time, I'll vomit. "It's all good" or, "It works for me" or even his masterpiece, "Who's your daddy?". This man is obviously a visionary.
    Faith Hill is also performing. I have some sad news. THIS IS NOT COUNTRY MUSIC. She's a franchise. She and her husband. She is cute, and she has a decent voice. She should move to Vegas with Celine Dion. (at least Celine stopped touring)
    The rest of the tight t-shirt and tank top wearing "cowboys" looked more like western tinged Gap advertisements than serious musicians. So....I ask you....Where is the talent in new country music?

Who's making decent music, writing their own songs. (not co-writing. this is a code phrase for "i was there when the song was written, now I want to take credit for it")

P.S. do i sound a little jaded...or no?
