Is the Grand Ole Opry doomed?

I do not know if it is doomed or not. My guesstimate is, it is doomed. That is, as far as any semblance of what most of us on this forum call country music.

But I do know the "root cause" if it does die. And that is THE day a young mississippi boy strapped on a guitar and sang a song.

Once youngsters who have now turned into oldsters raising youngsters, saw this young immoral hipster, they were attracted to it like flies to feces.

And they have never really liked any other form of music since. At least not in masse.

And so it goes. And where it stops......

God help us all,

I say, jack up Ryman Hall, put her on a
huge flatbed [something like NASA's shuttle
cart], and truck her on over to Branson, MO.

That's where most of the 'legends' are now,
anyway. Put the Opry where the Opry players
are.

Maybe nickname Branson,"NashvilleWest", or "TheRealNashville".

Then we can all sit back and watch the
other Nashville go to you-know-where.

JMHO - chipsahoy
