Along the same lines, maybe we should throw out all that old junk in the Smithsonian. And while we're at it, let's put some nice vinyl siding on George Washington's old place (Monticello)...you know..."spif it up" a little. Yeah, and let's buy up all the old classic Packards and Pierce-Arrows and put some modern fuel-injected engines in 'em. And them baseballs...surely we could come up with some kinda plastic that's better and cheaper that that old stitched up leather thing.
Each year, we have fewer and fewer "traditions" left in this country that I just thought that the Opry might remain a "small island of refuge in a sea of change".
Guess I was wrong.
P.S. By the way...most of the new "stars" don't "just want to sing". Hell, they can do that anywhere! They wanna be rich. I heard one "really big" country star say..."I paid my dues! I worked ten long years in the bars."
Fool! Ten years ain't "dues"...it's barely the "initiation fee"!
