I'm gonna make you a promise
If there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to greet you
With a warm, wet kiss.

Well, good night Jonny. Thanks for the thread. I enjoyed it very much. It's 8:15 here and the show we've all been discussing is now on locally.

That's it. Reading the lyrics reminds me of that night when we all heard the news, but not in a sad way ... They're comforting now.

:)

I agree about the talent contests. Seems like Elvis was in one too.

BTW, noticed your poem by WRH on profile page. I worked years ago in the circulation department at the Herald Examiner in Los Angeles.

Didn't go to the company 4th of July picnic at the Hearst estate, wish now I'd gone. All employees were invited.

Only worked there 6 months...went to another job.

Hi Jonny!

Just thought I'd check out the thread. Sorry I missed it.

The awards show was pretty lame tonight. Only 3 good parts:

1) Sara Evans
2) Miranda Lambert
3) Carrie Underwood

I liked seeing Shania w/ Billy J, but they should have sang instead of Dolly and Elton.

See you on the AI threads!

Hey, good to see ya!

I agree with your list, but Brad Paisley was great too.

Elton and Dolly: What the hell? :)

Paisley best tune is "celebrity." I love the video too!

But I never cared for "Whiskey Lullaby." Too depressing.

I miss the Herald Examiner. It was a far better newspaper, in my opinion, that the L.A. Times. The Hearst papers always published that song on the anniversary of the old man's death (or was it birth). I love the poem.

Sugarland are posers -- and there is nothing I hate more than posers.

The story is that the overweight girl Kristen Hall is a lesbian who use to perform with the Indigo Girls (who are also lebians). After hearing Jennifer Nettles she thought she could be a good country singer, so she recruited her and Kristian Bush (also a rock singer) to form Sugarland. The first time they performed together and they knew they sounded so great as country singers, they broke out into hysterical laughter. (This is all documented on their websites and in magazine interviews.)

Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush still perform as rockers, while posing as Country. And at least one lesbian website is all abuzz with the fact that "one of [them] has infiltrated red state music" and "country fans might be influenced by her lyrics."

Oh, and Jennifer's husband still owns a rock club, where she still performs her alternative rock music.

They are posers. They are not "Country."

The show is wrapping up here in PST. Cliche and schmaltz ruled the night, with bits of real talent here & there.

Not one person could tell Alison Krauss, "hey hon, you can see right through the dress when it's backlit?!"

I had wondered about that too. Surely her dress was meant to be that way....?

It looked like underneath the outer flowing thing was maybe a very short dress, like a miniskirt or something?

Hope it wasn't just a slip.

Alison's a great singer, and her band is talented. I've been to a concert of theirs, was really good.

She's extremely talented.
I'll 2nd that!

I recommend you listen to her unlabeled track #12 All Jacked Up album.

She sings a jazz rendition of Hello Heartbreak with a string trio.

I missed the event, but thanks for the ping jonny. It's fun to read the FReep reviews.

I was dissappointed that Trace Adkins was not featured in any other way except as a presenter. As conservatives, we need to support this fine vocalist, performer, and sexxxy, Great American, and OUTSPOKEN CONSERVATVE.

Adkins, who has not been afraid to speak his mind as a frequent guest on Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect, says someone has to represent his side of the great debate rending the nation. That's why he performed at a party during the Republican National Convention. ''I've always been conservative,'' says Adkins, adding he is the first Republican in a long familial line of Southern Democrats. ``I knew when I was going to register to vote for the first time, for Reagan, that I was a Republican because I was conservative.''

Here's a response Trace gave during an interview about Nashville:

QUESTION: Why is Nashville, unlike the other entertainment capitals of Hollywood and New York, culturally and politically conservative?

TRACE ADKINS: Because it’s the South. I think this area of the country breeds conservatism. That’s just how the people were raised around here. Their values and sense of right and wrong are instilled at a very early age. But there are a lot of liberals in the music business, I’ll guarantee you that. I run into them everyday and most of them are very vocal and outspoken because they know I’m vocal and outspoken as a conservative—and they like to rub it in a little bit.

Go out and buy his single "Arlington"(if nothing else.) Let's show the libs in the recording business that we support our own!

Artist/Band: Adkins Trace
Lyrics for Song: Arlington
Lyrics for Album: Songs About Me

ARLINGTON

I never thought that this is where I'd settle down,
I thought I'd die an old man back in my hometown,
They gave me this plot of land, me and some other men, for a job well done,
There's a big white house sits on a hill just up the road,
The man inside he cried the day they brought me home,
They folded up a flag and told my mom and dad, we're proud of your son

Chorus:

And I'm proud to be on this peaceful piece of property,
I'm on sacred ground and I'm in the best of company,
I'm thankful for those thankful for the things I've done,
I can rest in peace, I'm one of the chosen ones, I made it to Arlington

I remember daddy brought me here when i was eight,
We searched all day to find out where my granddad lay,
And when we finally found that cross,
He said, "son this is what it cost to keep us free"
Now here I am, a thousand stones away from him,
He recognized me on the first day i came in,
And it gave me a chill when he clicked his heels, and saluted me.

(Repeat Chorus)

And every time I hear twenty-one guns,
I know they brought another hero home to us
We're thankful for those thankful for the things we've done,
We can rest in peace, 'cause we are the chosen ones,
We made it to Arlington, yea dust to dust,
Don't cry for us,we made it to Arlington.
