16 Apr 20 - 09:32 AM (#4046444) Subject: RE: Country music motto From: cnd I think now is a fitting time to bring up David Allan Coe's You Never Even Called Me By My Name. The final chorus of the song runs through about every popular theme in country songs. |

16 Apr 20 - 11:44 AM (#4046472) Subject: RE: Country music motto From: GUEST,Hootenanny The song referenced above by David Allen Coe was actually written by Steve Goodman one of the great writers who sadly died young. |

16 Apr 20 - 12:20 PM (#4046480) Subject: RE: Country music motto From: cnd Correct indeed Hootenanny, Coe mentions that in the song before launching into the last stanza. In a funny twist of fate and timing, Goodman wrote the song with the help of John Prine. Prine also helped write it but thought country listeners would find it offensive and asked not to be mentioned. |
