I can't figure out why 'Jerks Gentley' is a member of the Opry, tho.
I think it's pretty sad what has happened to "country" music in the past 30 years or so. If I wanted to see long haired, maggot infested "musicians" playing electric guitars and drums and seeing who could out-jerk the other while making words rhyme that don't, I'd go back to rock music. Give me a bluegrass group any day.
The real Opry was in the Ryman. Everything since is styrofoam and bullshirt.
