That is not a diss, I'm just not into modern country music. It's all basically pop music with a twang to me. Except for country songs with rapping. That is an abomination.; 11/3/16, 9:03 AM

Perhaps if they appeared together, it would be the blessed end to both of their careers.; 11/3/16, 9:11 AM

Still I can't quite picture Beyonce in any real life situation. And "Princess Di's skeleton" (dress) is one of those creepy clown comments that I am sighting more and more often.; 11/3/16, 9:15 AM

It isn't just country that's on life support. There are some great musical traditions on the black side that sadly are barely with us anymore.; 11/3/16, 9:28 AM

Eric the Fruit Bat said...: There's some joke I half remember about a wigmaker going to see his first staging of some Shakespeare tragedy and afterwards his only impression was admiration for the hair pieces.

I can't find it on the internet.; 11/3/16, 9:54 AM
Big Mike said...: If Tom or Lorenzo (or Althouse) knew anything about country music, they'd be aware that black country entertainers are not new, the most famous being Charley Pride back in the 1970s and 1980s.

The Dixie Chicks have been dead to me ever since Natalie ("Brain Dead") Maines dissed the US and our president in front of a foreign audience.; 11/3/16, 10:14 AM
