I'm not usually one to respond to this kind of topic, but... I just joined my wife, who was watching the awards, just in time to catch Miranda Lambert's performance. A bad rock and roll song, a bass player with a mohawk, a smashed guitar, and a mic stand thrown on the floor! Wow! Of all the great, talented bands and musicians in Nashville and elsewhere, this is what they select to put on national TV, to represent the genre to the nation. How can these people expect anyone to take country music seriously?

I breezed thru my living room about the time
a fellow with yellow spiked hair was wailing into a mike and standing in the middle of explosions while somebody namedMiranda Lambert was screaming "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" while slamming a guitar(or so it appeared). My teenage daughter was watching and told me who the so called rtist was. That was perhaps the most disgusting thing I have ever seen that supposedly associated with the words Country Music. There is no shame when it comes to hooking crackheads, punks, and anyone on the search for rebellious, disrespectful, and ludicrous noise still referred to as music.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Eddie D.Bollinger on 06 November 2006 at 07:25 PM.]</p></FONT>

I've been watching for a while now and got to hear Harold Bradley thank the "A-team" during his acceptence speech for the CMA Hall Of Fame saying names like Pete Drake, Lloyd Green and Buddy Emmons. I've been enjoying this show. I noticed the decidedly heavy edge on the new country acts.

Thanks guys for making me feel better for refusing to watch the program with my wife in lieu of the "American Road Show" anniversary show! My wife said I couldn't be a real country musician because I had no interest in the show. I told her that was like saying someone must be a bad chef because he/she doesn't like to eat at Waffle House.

Josh Turner is such a good singer and I was really disappointed to see that his associates/producers/managers now have him dressing like a Bum! I'm sure it's not his idea and he probably has little choice but to cooperate with the higher-powers! Too bad! I guess the next move is undershorts on top of trousers! Someone has things slightly backwards, by my understanding of how to get dressed! Socks on top of shoes? Get real!!

Based on what I've read here, I just keep wondering how embarrassed George, Harold, and Sonny might have been.
No, I didn't watch the program; the promos showed me in advance what I could expect.
Who is Miranda Lambert (a rhetorical question, so before you answer, ask yourself, will he care)? <font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by James Cann on 06 November 2006 at 09:18 PM.]</p></FONT>
