I was just wondering if any of you watched the CMA Awards last night? IMHO it was AWESOME!
Brooks and Dunn gave a superb performance with there new single *I Believe* Faith Hill and Tim Mc Graw were magnificent in the Duo new hit *Like We Never Loved at All* Dolly Parton and Elton John with the Classic *Imagine*
Carrie Underwood did great singing her new CD Jesus take the Wheel.
Country Music did fantastic!
I thought Garth Brooks rocked singing in Times Square...I remember trying to get a country station from my NYC hotel room 10 Years Ago...and picked up something out of state...I guess the fans will have to pay for XM or Sirius...which is well worth it.
I didn't watch it but was glad to hear LeeAnn Womack won some major awards. Her latest album is quite good.
That's great! I recently heard SPike Jones' "Chinese Mule Train" Great stuff, cripty crop.
AMEN! Glad to see someone did appreciate the show LAST NIGHT!
In the immortal words of Toby Keith . . . "A little sissy in a cowboy hat ain't country!"
LOL.
Whoa! That's a stretch, it says no religion. Pretty straight.
Listen to there new CD *I BELIEVE* you might have a different tune....
Mayor Bloomberg getting in on the act...
Who's CD?
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.
Let's put it this way- If Jesus came today, to JUDGE the entire world.. and after he judges the human race What religion will WE ALL BE???
"Bucky" Bloomberg, the Jewish cowboy! Oy Vey! Love it.
Have you ever heard Trace Adkin's version of Wayfaring Stranger? It's awesome! Check out "Amazing Grace II". Great song/album.
Yeah, that's "country music" for you. LOL.
Whoa. You're asking ME to judge, and according to you I shouldn't do that. I'm pretty sure Lennon was an aetheist. When he said no religion he meant no Jesus and would have said so if meter and rhyme permitted.
I am sure there has been many Jewish Cowboys even if *Jesus* was not one of them...
Was Kinky Friedman at the CMA awards? "They ain't making Jews like Jesus anymore." Kinky is a Jewish country singer.
It's beautiful! It's also on his 1997 album "Big Time."
Some of the worst lip-syncing I have ever seen! This for me made it unwatchable in spite of the gorgeous C&W babes.
The bad choices, IMO, were naming Jerks Gentley best new artist and Wretched Wilson top female vocalist.
