Spent most of last evening watching the CMA. This is due to the fact that it preempted Modern Family and my wife and I want to see if Gwyneth Paltrow can actually sing country. She did ok except we had to wait through almost the entire show to see her. I wonder why they want her play a country singer in a movie. Wouldn't it be easier to use Ashley Judd? This is the first time I actually watch this award show and here are the observations from a non-country music fan:
1. There are higher percentage of white people here than at hockey games, NASCAR races and Tea Party gatherings. In fact I didn't see one black person on the show or in the audience. I think they need to bring Charley Pride back, from wherever he is, to get some diversity. Charley is not only a country singer but likes baseball better than basketball. So he should be invited to many more white events even if he can't sing anymore.
2. Taylor Swift didn't win vocalist of the year. But if she won there would be zero chance that Kanye West would have interrupted her acceptance. (See #1 above)
3. After the Dixie Chicks bashed Bush a few years back, I was not surprised that they were not at the awards. But of course a group called Lady Antebellum won big. This sounds like a nod to pre-Civil War era but I don't know for sure. I also don't know why there are two men in the band since they are no lady.
4. Dolly Parton wasn't there but I am sure she kept abreast of what went on. I understand she was mad a somebody. She should have showed up and get it off her chest.
5. When I heard that Detroit was represented, I thought Eminem had changed his style. It turned out to be Kid Rock. So even in country music, Detroit rocks on.
Well, that is all I have to say about a show where I don't know most of the people and know none of the songs. I wish John Denver was still alive.

Wow. I don't know what to say about this post. I will say that Modern Family is a great show. As long as they keep Gloria on the show, I am tuning in. Especially if they keep making her stir things.
ReplyDeleteHere are my rebuttals to your points, which are hard for me to do since I only watched a portion of it. And yes, some of it had to do to see if Gweneth Paltrow could sing. But I definitely like to see Carrie Underwood as much as possible!
Most people forget the fact that Paltrow sang in a previous movie, so someone in Hollywood thinks that she's got some singing ability. I thought the song was OK (it's country, what do you want me to say?) and she sang it decently. Also, her husband is in a band, so maybe someone is pulling some strings here. Ashley Judd, another fine creature that God has put on this Earth, is kind of retired and maybe the movie called for a younger woman. I don't know.
1. There's one guy who used to be the lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish who is black and is doing country music. He won an award last year or maybe the year before. I am not sure if he was there, since I didn't see much of the show. Maybe he was near the back where it's darker?
2. Taylor Swift. Hmmm, attractive and I admit that I feel a little dirty for saying that. She seems to have her head on straight and I feel bad for what happened with Kanye West, but all her songs now sound the same. I just hope she doesn't change her image too much like Mylie Cyrus.
3. Interesting fact: Two of the Dixie Chicks have formed a new band without the one that had the big mouth. I have no idea where the name Lady Antebellum comes from either but the music is OK.
4. This post was udderly ridiculous. I bet you felt like a boob after writing it. In fact, I would drive over big hills, mounds and mountains to come over there and smack you for it. I mean, I don't mean to milk this but it's cold here and things are nipply.
5. Kid Rock is all over the place. I have no idea what kind of singer he is anymore. He's been a big advocate of legalizing marajuana, which I am against.
You wish John Denver was still alive? I wish the Kenny Rogers chicken place was still open!

All right! I get your points! Are you trying to make sure I get your comments or were you so drunk that you clicked on "publish" 4 times in a row? Even though you say this post is ridiculous, I am not going tit for tit to say your comments are repetitiously redundant.
