Your Take: The Body Snatchers

This is a tough question. I’m pretty content just being me most of the time, but for the sake of being hypothetical I’ll pick Conway Twitty. I think it would be cool to transition from rock star to country star and it would just be awesome to get away with having a ‘fro and be able to sing like that. I’d pick more stylish jumpsuits though.

Hmm… maybe Josh Turner =)

Every country singer I want to be had a life I wouldn’t want to live.

Howard Watts, a/k/a Cedric Rainwater, bass player with the 1946-48 edition of the Blue Grass Boys that created bluegrass, then an original Foggy Mountain Boy, then a Drifting Cowboy.

“I’d like to be Tanya Elizabeth, kind of.”

It would help to spell her name correctly. But I’ll let her know about this; she’ll get a kick out of it, I’m sure.

Emmylou Harris.

1. Did not endure life of hardship like many other country legends (funnily, she was concerned as a teenager that this would make her less legitimate or worthy).
2. Hung with Gram.
3. Had skills to co-write timeless song in the wake of Gram’s death (”Boulder to Birmingham”).
4. Sings so good.
5. Has pretty much always been a critic’s and historian’s darling, and pretty much always been allowed to do her own thing.
6. Still doesn’t look too bad.

Not too shabby, you know?

I’d have to go with Bob Wills just for the rollercoaster life he lived and the great music he made over all those years playin in all those dance halls. I’d only want to be in his skin for a short while though as it would be way too exhausting! (lol)

Until your ex wife sews yu up in the sheets and beats you with a broom.

It was in Jackson’s wife’s book; though I don’t think she named any names. Faith was on tour with him when he and his wife split up about 15 years ago.

Josh, AJ has admitted to infidelity. I’m just not convinced that Faith Hill is the one. That wasn’t admitted in the book and it’s the first I’ve heard of it, though I’m often behind in the country music gossip. Wouldn’t Faith Hill have already been in a relationship, or even married to, Tim McGraw by that point, since Denise said it happened during their seperation? I have no idea, of course, but I’m not very inclined to believe that Faith cheated on Tim McGraw with a fellow superstar without it becoming a huge publicized scandal. Of course, it’s all speculation on my part…not that I’m really privy to any of that info. I have to ask: Razor, why would you rather be Alan Jackson cheating on his wife instead of Tim McGraw who could/can legitimately sleep with Faith Hill? Wow. This is a random hypethetical anyway. Not the question, Karlie, the sleeping with Faith Hill thing.

I haven’t decided who I would want to be yet.

I have no idea, of course, but I’m not very inclined to believe that Faith cheated on Tim McGraw with a fellow superstar without it becoming a huge publicized scandal

It was before she was married to Tim. Not sure if she was with Scott Hendricks at the time or not. She wasn’t a huge star at the time.

Razor, why would you rather be Alan Jackson cheating on his wife instead of Tim McGraw who could/can legitimately sleep with Faith Hill?

Who the hell wants to be Tim McGraw under any circumstances?

Razor. Me. He’s rich.

Oh, Razor, I should add that I like Tim McGraw, even if his music has been admittedly spotty in the last few years. He’s definitely an artist I like more than dislike.

Tim’s richer. Doesn’t really matter though. I wouldn’t actually want to be either of them, though I have no idea who I’d want to be still.
