But I still say the heirs ought to sue. Roadhog is dead isn't he? I heard somewhere that he had been killed when his string tie got caught in the hotdog rotisserie at a TOA truckstop just outside Denver

Roadhog is still around. But I had heard Buford the Barber was the one who lost his life to the hotdog rotisserie but it happened at a Flying J on I-80 just outside of Des Moines.

Lost it's way? Really? I think it's in pretty good hands with the likes of Jamie Johnson, Luke Bryan, Lee Brice, James Otto. Keep an eye on a kid named Justin Moore, a young singer/songwriter with a horse shit and gunpowder sound that brings visions of Dwight, Radney, and Steve swirling back. Country music's heart and soul has always been about the stories, and as times change so do the stories ... but not the hearts they come from.
Look below the surface and enjoy the Jack Ingrams, Darius Ruckers, and Craig Morgans of the industry. there are plenty of them, and they are damn good!

The problem today in country music is not with the artists you mentioned. The problem lies with the self professsed genuises at the lables, the programming whiz kids in radio (the ones who did not have a Johnny Cash song in the building the day he died) and the dill weeds running the Opry and the Hall of Fame.
BTW, the last I heard from Lester he was doing "might fine, might fine".

Speaking of country "losing it's way", the same could be said for other forms of popular music as well. There is no such thing as "rock" any longer. Techno could be thought of as a form of jazz but hip-hop and rap are just noise.
I keep thinking of all the wonderful and innovative music of the late 50's , 60's and 70's that would have sounded even more magical with today's technical assistance. Today's kids have full multiplex stereo, amps, ear buds and speakers with phenomenal audio range, and disc's which can hold hundreds of recordings and don't wear out or get scratchy and they listen to junk "music". Disgusting.

I take it that you're of the older set, and I respect your opinion, but keep in mind, when the 60', 70's music was hot, the older crowed back then that was over 55, hated that music. Yes, it was real Rock!
My all time favorite song of the 60's was from Johnny Rivers, "Secret Agent Man". Now that song is real rock with hot licks! I have the video store in my computer. Just think about what the demo, over 55, thought about that song when it was new. They hated it! Johnny Rivers ROCKED! That song is the ultimate ROCK song that was ever recored! IMHO!
Sorry to get off of the County/Rock Topic,

BigA & Scott,
I wasn't talking so much about the music itself as I was about the technology of the recordings and players.
But I do remember one afternoon after school as I was watching American Bandstand. The music was playing and the kids were dancing and my folks walked into the room. My dad made some remark about the way the kids were dancing to the "weird music" before my mother reminded him of the way they danced to the Lindy and Jitterbug. I don't remember what he said then but it was probably <nothing>. ;D

no right or wrong answer here..but..the over 55 crowd that like their rock music, or over 55 bunch that likes their country music, still like it today as much as when they were kids..now i wonder in 40 years will "lil wayne be just as relevant to todays kids..or will taylor swift still be on the listening device of choice forty years from now for the country crew ? NOTE: i just pulled those two names at random..not that they represent the whole of said genre's..just the two names that i have heard of..somehow i just can't see my seventeen year old son hippity hopping at age 57 to rap...however my peers wil still hit the floor for junior walker's "SHOTGUN".. old inquiring minds want to know..
