Wow, you're reading this? Thanks! If you're into RC cars and I seem vaguely familiar, it's because I spent over 25 years writing and editing RC car news, reviews, and tech articles in print and online. What else, what else ... I have a degree in Film Studies (useless), most of a degree in Graphic Design (useful), and I'm married to a wonderful woman with horrible taste in men. Thanks to her, we have a terrific daughter who just earned her Journalism degree and is way, waaay more together that I was at her age. Or right now.

My favorite boss loved old country music, but other than Cash, I never caught the ear for it.
Very appropriate response Matt. If anything I would’ve been worse than that, but the PR person didn’t deserve it.
Actually saw George Jones in concert once on a double bill with Lucinda Williams. We were there mainly for Lucinda, but really enjoyed the George Jones half of the concert as well. One rather impressive thing was that George was getting over a cold, so he says to his band, “Boys, let’s take it down a step”. No problem, the whole band of about a dozen players just immediately went down a step for all the songs, which is pretty impressive musician-wise.
Thank you, Jason – at least someone remembered Johnny Cash!
On that first album cover up there, George Jones looks like Jim Carrey’s character in ‘Me, Myself, and Irene’:

In Peter’s list of Matt’s possible music tastes, I didn’t see the comma at first & all I could think of was the first he mentioned was actually David’s- “alternative electronica.” As in Kraftwerk, which would seem to fit more than country.
Maybe they’ve got the wrong Waylon? I could at least see an argument for Waylon Jennings, but Morgan Wallen? Yeeeeessssshhhhh…….
I can’t think of something I’d be less interested in reading, than a story about some Bro-Country abomination.
Not a one of you mentioned Marty Robbins? For shame.
Drove in NASCAR, even.
And his cheating episode therein is just so wonderful and easy to forgive.
Plenty more names to add before whoever the heck the flavor of the month is for country music.
One name I have yet to see: Patsy Cline
Willie, Dolly, Dwight, and Hank.
All that, and no Waylon? Tsk, tsk.
