I agree with Taylor...the public humiliation of her at award shows has never been fair. But then I've never been a fan of the cutting humor that seems to be so prevalent in recent years on the awards. For that matter, I haven't been a fan of Brad Paisley since he mocked Kellie Pickler on stage while she was his opening act. I think that the remarks and humiliation will turn itself in time and endear Taylor to the country music world again. Maybe her 13th album...she will return home...the vagabond wayward daughter returns home to the loved ones. I may be the only one alive that realizes that if you laid down country tracks to her same vocals...you could have some classic...country. Country Music could use a real dose of humility themselves...we should be proud of are rough hands...our history. We should be honored that no other genre has instruments like the steel guitar...banjo...twin fiddles...mouth harp...washboard etc. We as a genre should look back to where we have been for a moment before continuing on...walk softly from the heart.

I think this is a fact...women have always had a rough row to hoe...
Today... people would take that sentence and make fun of it ...
The problem I have is that they have never hoed a row...no idea what it means.
Today...people make fun of the weak ...of the vulnerably of feelings.
We have all been humiliated and by God...it makes your heart cry inside.
So if the men in country music are men...they have an obligation to stop this behavior.
If we are going to be country...then be country gentlemen...grow the hell up.

I have been thinking...maybe the men of country have forgotten or never been taught these lessons.
Ladies...please tune this post out...skip right over it please.
Guys...what in the hell is your problem?
My problem is the way you treat the women of the world.
Have you forgotten your manners...or were you never taught?
Do you really think that drinking and getting your women drunk is cool?
Well it is not cool...you will lose respect in the long run...that's bad.
You do know how hard it is to run a home and work etc...
I bet you this silver dollar that your woman does more than you.
What happened...why are we such a bunch of babies...whiners.
What is so hard in opening the car door...you remember...manners.

Michael, I haven't given up on a return of value based country music. Mo Pitney is making waves. mopitney.bombplates.com/newsMo debuted and got a standing ovation at the Opry. Country Weekly, Rolling Stone, Billboard, the Huffington Post, and Taste of Country are all saying he's the one to watch in 2015. He's a singer/songwriter. So good that he's been writing some with Bill Anderson. His songwriting reminds me of Taylor Here's his debut single and a song he wrote after he saw Hag in concert. He's a core value based artist....and his voice. There's a reason he's getting so much positive attention. His heroes are Roger Miller, Ray Price, Randy Travis and Keith Whitley. ...and this one just because I love it so much

Michael, Lake Lincoln is beautiful. It's good to have the time and space to breathe. Unfortunately, there have always been those guys in country music who "joked" about the women. Dolly is a prime example...every once in a while she'll mention how "raw" the comments about her on awards shows were early on in her career. She just learned to lean into it with a big ole smile and kept on with her career and her life. Which is what Kellie Pickler did, despite the media outcry, after Paisley pulled that video stunt in concert with a "scientific" discussion of her boobs as the star attraction of the film he had made with doctored photos of her. Moving on to the gentle men in country music. Kenny Chesney has been speaking out about how country needs to stop with how they're portraying women. Tim McGraw has been known to evict people from his concerts, from the stage, when they were disrespecting a woman in front of him. As my mama says, Tim is a good ole boy...in the best sense of the phrase. P.S. I've hoed many a row in my day. Some of them can be a bit rocky. ...and if Taylor ever chooses to return to country music, she could. I've read a lot of online comments about how much respect she got when she said she was going to tell people she was making a pop record because people have expectations. If and when she decides she wants to make a country record again, she'll have that credibility waiting for her.

Thank you Jo for introducing me to Mo...what an artist.
He has it all...talent voice and looks...but something more.
He has that secret ingredient that will open doors...authenticity.
Seems that when artists hit a certain level they plateau then begin to decline.
Though some believe so much in what they do...that they would do it for free.
Unfortunately...some have to do it for free...a lot of it never even recorded.
Fortunately for Mo...you made me aware of him...I see only a few thousand views of his videos.
Lets change that...

Just so everyone knows...this is the only place that I go...like anyone really cares.
I am so glad that this forum is apart from Face Book...and that you can pick up where you left off...days earlier.
I know a lot of my posts are kinda written sporadically...but I just can't type as fast as I think.
I love my morning coffee...the sunshine...and being here with all of you...that is how it is.
I really love music and lately I have found that I simply can't hear it all...even if I wanted to.
Did you know...what I heard...is that so much music is being downloaded in 1 minute...that you could never hear it all.
That is mind boggling...and to think all the internet cables of the world come ashore into some leaky shack on the beach.
We are certainly more vulnerable to a devastating disaster than we ever were...before we were dependent on ourselves...
Today we are dependent on some plastic card...man did they get us this time!

Man was it fun...the bike trails were tough so we walked a trail.
It was just good to be with em for awhile...
Though the two boys won't go together...stuff happens.
In time they will work it out...in time.
About 2 miles in... they started jumping around like Taylor fans.
Ticks...ticks they were swatting them off like wildfire.
I looked at em and asked...you guys done...and off they did run.
They asked me why I didn't get any ticks...I told them that the ticks know better.
I eat ticks for breakfast man!
Actually I was pulling up the rear and they probably got them first.
Talking about tick and rears...I need to run!

The strange double standard in the entire music industry is just amazing.
The general public seems to expect a female artist to just get knocked down...
only to get back up and be knocked down again...and again...and again.
While their male counterpart struts around like a Banny Rooster...
doing as they please without regard for anyone much less a female.
I hope that Taylor keeps empowering women...and that men be standup men.
There is a big and sickening relationship... in my opinion only please.
That is the so called Hen pecked male...running around the pen all pecked over.
Trying so hard to please the female that he forgets who he is...a Rooster.
I wonder why males can't be males anymore...instead they must fit some cage.
A good Rooster will wake up the family at 4:30 AM to eat and look out for them all day.
He is probably the last one into the coop but the first one to jump in your face.
All this chatter about chicken ...makes me hungry...mmmmm

A rough draft of my entry to the thread about Mo...
So have you heard about this guy...Mo Pitney?
Well hang on tight folks...here is the next George!!!
Only ... a little better ...
Now hold on folks...
Mo want's you to know that he has nothing to do with that comparison.
That is me...saying ...that he is better than George.
Now I hear yourself asking...who is George Dukas?
George Dukas was an artist in the 90's...that I had the pleasure of meeting...
Along with Lisa Brokop...they were great...
But I think Mo is better...The others...who knows what happened.

So I would be remiss not to introduce the female counterpart...
Lisa Brokop...she leaves you speechless.
