I dare just about anyone to listen to “Life’s Little Ups and Downs” without choking up.

That Trisha news is huge. I can’t quite get my head around it enough to blog about it yet, but wow.

Charlie Rich is one of the most puzzling, yet rewarding artists to listen to. Citing Stan Kenton as his primary influence, Rich probably was the “Renaissance Man” of popular music, and all phases of his career yield nuggets of pure magic. The essential Charlie Rich is a good starting point, but that all it is. The are (or have been available) good collections from his Sun, Smash/Mercury, and Epic years (I haven’t seen a good RCA collection)

I’ve really enjoyed Mike’s early articles, and I agree that Josh is the best Opry candidate among current artists, but it’s kind of ridiculous to suggest that someone with two albums of mostly filler material and 3-4 recognizable singles ought to be inducted immediately. Plus, I’m never sold on an artist after listening to them sing “He Stopped Loving Her Today” because no one can even approach the Jones recording. Turner does do mean renditions of many John Anderson cuts.

Patrick - I’ve never been, but I like enough of the people on this year’s lineup to attend. The only problem is I hate planning stuff that far in advance, you never know what’s going to come up, so I’m still undecided as well.

Baron - Do it! And yea, he’s a titty baby. I hope the Spurs whoop up on the Suns on Saturday.

I might have to head down for the ACL show this year.

Amaré Stoudemire is a WHINER!!!

I listened to Jamey Johnson a few months ago and I’m sure I made a mental note at the time to remember that he was good. When I came across his name again a couple of days ago and didn’t remember anything about him, I went and listened to his album again. That guy is awesome! Somebody needs to get their act together and start promoting him.

I’ve been to ACL Fest the last 3 years and had sworn off this year until seeing the lineup. I’m not a big fan of huge, teeming masses of humanity. And last year’s lineup was a pretty big letdown. But when the music is great, all the hassles seem to fade away. So now I’m back to being undecided.
