I'm woefully ignorant about most of Country Music, so thank you for the background info on Trace Adkins. I had no idea he was such a staunch Conservative--good for him!

And thank you for posting the lyrics to "Arlington". Wolfstar brought my attention to the song a few months ago. A very powerful song.

I'll take Roy Clark--he's fun and has a good sense of humor. But I need Zoloft to listen to Patsy Cline--sheesh.

Good morning!

I remember the first time I heard Whiskey Lullabye. I was stunned. It was haunting, sad, insightful, and had that wonderful turn of phrase in it. Then the voices singing the song was absolutely icing on the cake.

I am sure you enjoyed even a short version of "Jesus take the wheel". ;)

"See" you later. And have at least one rediculous story about today to tell me later! (I'm sure I'll have one for you, too.)

Good morning!

I enjoyed the show last night. Some parts were very cheesy (the Dolly & Elton duet, Bloomberg), but the true talent saved the night. I was exposed to a lot of good songs and good singers that are new to me.

I am sure you enjoyed even a short version of "Jesus take the wheel". ;)

I thought it was short :) But I did like it. Carrie looked and sounded great :)

You have a great day too, Apples.

I really enjoyed the show last night - especially when my "boyfriend" Keith Urban won Entertainer of the Year. For all you old rockers out there, give him a listen if you haven't yet. He's had some vocal problems lately from constantly touring and straining his voice - but he's a killer guitar player. Even my hubby enjoys his talent. Oh yeah and ladies he's not too hard on the eyes either!

Now I don't feel so bad that I missed it. I like both of them; why didn't they do one of his or her songs?

[conservativebabe]

Thanks for the ping jonny. I had to miss the show but read a review this morning. Sounds like it was a really good one.

[conservativebabe]

Hey jonny! Just finished going through the thread. Superb job as always! I wish I had been around last night to enjoy it with you and everyone else. CAN'T WAIT for Idol!!!

A few observations-

Keith Urban-hubba, hubba, and Just Damn!

"I will always love" Dolly Parton.

Gretchen Wilson-damn that girl can sing

Carrie Underwood-my favorite Idol, looked gorgeous last night and glad to hear she performed well.

Her album came out yesterday, are you getting it?

[Alberta's Child]

What's with the CMA awards banquet being held in New York? For the life of me, I don't understand why they insisted on holding the event in a metro area with something like a half-dozen Spanish radio stations and ZERO country stations.

Glen Campbell on Fox & Friends in 2 minutes.

I missed it. Was he more coherent than last night? :)

[silent_jonny]

I wish I had been around last night to enjoy it with you and everyone else.

Your absence was noted ;)

CAN'T WAIT for Idol!!!

I'm looking forward to it, too. Only two more months!

[Carrie's] album came out yesterday, are you getting it?

I plan to. Even if it stinks (and I don't think it will), I want to have a copy just as a memento :)

[conservativebabe]

Wal-Mart is selling it for like $9.94 or something close to that. I agree, even if it stinks (which it won't) it will be good to have.

[Senator Pardek]

I'm such a moron - he's from NZ!
