THIS IS AN OPINION!

I know I said in another thread that I had decided to quit having opinions. I LIED!

The Grand Ole Opry has a long tradition of backbiting and internal politics. Johnny Cash was black-balled until he married June Carter. After that, they had to make him a member or it would have been a snub to the whole Carter family. Otherwise, he might have been denied membership for years.

For many years, the organization has been about promoting its own musical agenda, not the music itself. Hank Williams needs the approval of The Opry about as much as John Lennon or Jimi Hendrix does.
