Clic Country Fans....?

You are 100% correct in your comments. Roy Acuff, Bill Monroe, and the rest who made the grand ole opry what it is today would be spinning in their graves if they knew stuff like that was going on today at the mother church of country music. I am a country purist, and it pains me to see the music my grandparents brought me up on going in the direction it is going in today. I may be only 36, but I grew up on the original singers of the grand ole opry through records and rerun shows that my grandparents would watch and play whenever I came over for a visit. Country music is rooted in gospel, southern folk music, and original tonk music from the 30's to the 50's. To think that Shania can get on stage there dressed like a 2 dollar hooker or Gretchen Wilson in her skin tight jeans, makes me wonder how long before REAL country music completely vanishes. My wife and I hardly ever watch country videos or the grand ole opry (recent episodes) anymore because of stuff like that. So go ahead and vent, because you are not alone in your opinion. Thanks for the post, now I have a reason to express my views on my soap box too. Take Care, and may God Bless.
