Ill be damned thats the first uncool thing Ive seen rise from your keyboard. The twangy voice of the banjo, the melodious yet frantic-if-need-be undertone of the fiddle, the I-dont-know-the-proper-adjective-ness of the steel guitar such good, healthy, basic American music, that bluegrass is.
You have to remember Xena, most of do not have and/or are not proficient with the metal death-Frisbee thingie - we just run from our enemies - and when in a car chase, nothing else provides the soundtrack to safety like Bluegrass.

IMO, no instrument produces a sound as sweet as a pedal steel guitar.

...when in a car chase, nothing else provides the soundtrack to safety like Bluegrass. The original Smokey & the Bandit featured a chase scene (right near the end, IIRC) set to the "Orange Blossom Special". I've always loved that tune, and it went especially well with that chase scene.

I am now convinced GWB will win the election. Sane clean television is on DVD.

some body please explain the "My wife ain't got no mule joke to me." Simple misdirection:
Grandpa Jones to Junior Samples: ``I saw you riding on a mule and your wife was walking behind you. Why was that?'' implying, "Why are you making your wife walk - you should be walking and let her ride."
Samples: ``My wife ain't GOT no mule.'' totally missing Grandpa's implication and returning a direct, correct, but dumb answer - which is much funnier when delivered in Junior's slow, stupid style.
My favorite in that style was this one:
Archie Campbell to Junior Samples: "Say rube, can you give me change for this fifteen dollar bill?"
Junior: "Yep. A nine and two threes."

I am powerfully uncool. I just have y'all snowed. :)
BTW, if you're properly armed, chase music is a moot issue!

The Lorretta Lynn album is awesome! It's a heck of a lot more "country" than Toby Kieth and all the other crud they play on country radio these days. Me, I like the old stuff: Hank Williams, Flatt & Scruggs, Bill Monroe, Patsy Cline. Now that's music!
To: tamikamaria
Agreed. I've never heard the White Stripes music, but Jack White did a great job producing Loretta's CD.

There was a bevy of curvy Southern belles such as Barbi Benton, Gunilla Hutton (who played Nurse Good Body) and Misty Rowe. Let's not forget Linda Thompson, former Elvis girlfriend and current wife of uber-producer David Foster.

I live in Nashville and have been a friend of Lulu Roman, one of the show's stars for about twelve years. I was on the set with her the day the last show was taped. It felt like a funeral.
