...The left can’t compete in the Christian market. Let’s face it, the folks who declare Robert Mapplethorpe “art” simply have no credibility in that particular market. With that said, Country is a family friendly format they still think they have a chance of corrupting, and Miley Cyrus may be their perky little Trojan horse into that industry...

Oh, yes. My dad had many a Hank Williams 78. We still have them.

Eagles, Dixie Chicks, Keith Urban to Tour Together
This tour marks the first time the Chicks have toured since 2006
While the Chicks are still on hiatus, sisters Martie Maguire and Emily Robison have formed a new band, the Court Yard Hounds, and are readying their first album, a self-titled disc, for release on May 4.
The Eagles tour also marks the first time in four years that the Chicks will perform live together. Martie Maguire, Emily Robison and Natalie Maines have been on a touring hiatus since the shows supporting their Grammy-sweeping 2006 album, 'Taking the Long Way.'
"We really are just doing it for fun," Emily explains to The Boot. "The opportunity arose, and all three of us were really into it. The thought of being able to open up shows for the Eagles in stadiums, it's something we haven't been able to do yet in our own career -- have venues that large."
Emily and Martie, of course, haven't been on a total musical hiatus. This Eagles tour comes at an opportune time for the sisters, who will release their debut album as a duo, the Court Yard Hounds, in May.

Dixie Chicks Side Project Whips Up a Hard-Hitting Gay Song
May 4 release of the self-titled album by their side project Court Yard Hounds, which includes a tune entitled "Ain't No Son."
The ditty opens with a bluegrass intro, and a teenager about to make a nervous confession to his folks. But this is no "I'm Coming Out" for the Nashville set. The hard-stomping tune that follows is told from the POV of his father... and he is pissed. The repeated damnations of "you ain't no son of mine" and "boys should be boys" don't make for a sympathetic narrator (unless you're a bigoted good old boy), but they certainly evoke the powerful, ugly emotions some parents express when the closet door is flung open -- and while the lyric isn't explicitly queer, Robison recently told CMT she was inspired by a TV program about gay teens whose parents kick them out of the home.
“Waylon Jennings and Dwight Yoakam are coming to our area, what venue of Country are they?”
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Well now, Dwight has said that he admires the music of many different performers so I don’t know just how he would refer to his genre of country music but the great Waylon Jennings, who was referred to as an “Outlaw” is definitely in the deceased category, sadly he has been dead since Feb. 13, 2002. Are you sure Waylon is coming with Dwight? That is one concert I would love to see.
View at your own risk, old hippies with tattoos don’t look so good.

Don't forget the 45's they made music affordable, and are the main reason most old songs, are 3 minutes or so long.
That was very funny and entertaining, LOL. What a voice he has. That’s the kind of stuff we watched when I was a kid.
Steve Goodman wrote that most excellent of songs. He also wrote “Go Cubs Go” which, unfortunately, won’t get a whole lot of play this year at Wrigley Field.
That would be the Keith Urban married to Nicole Kidman?
“Do you think it was inappropriate for Nicole Kidman to do a nude bathtub scene with a 12-year old boy in her movie ‘Birth’?”
YES, it is more than inappropriate!!!
Steve Goodman wrote that ... noted for “City of New Orleans.” I saw him perform at Virginia Tech in 1983, before he died too young.
Because otherwise they might forget to?
On the other hand, if you ask if they've ever heard of David Allan Coe, without hesitation, and in unison, they will sing at the top of their lungs...
"She got runned over by a damned ol' train!"
Don't ask me how I know...I just do.
Well donna we have agreements in our 2 person family on tv viewing.
One is about actors/actresses.
KV refuses to watch any movie with Nick Cage and I feel the same about Nichole Kidman.
So never heard of or viewed Kidman in the tub with a 12yr old. Lucky me for missing that scene. Yes?
Oh and I refuse to go to a Kieth Urban event because of his choice in Kidman as a wife.
Her tatts did not age well!
If she put some nice clothes on her view would not be so alarming.
Some vintage things need to stay in the closet.
Merle Haggard is the other act.
Fact checked Freeper I am not today.
