i think popularity and talent are in no way related in the music business. look at hip hop,rap, brittany spears,nsync....there isn't an iota of talent among them etc. over produced, dumbed down and sexed up lyrics.

You're absolutely right. Speaking of which, I never thought I'd ever be a country music fan, but I went to see Alan Jackson last night at the Nassau Coliseum, and it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen. Why did I like it so much? Alan Jackson writes songs about real people and real problems, but they're not obscene, he believes in God and country, he actually sings and plays guitar live as opposed to all the lip-synching artists out there, he has a real band performing instead of a recorded track playing, and he's gracious and humble. This is the first concert I've ever seen where the artist actually signed autographs while standing onstage!
