A good rule of thumb about country music is that when the singer starts talking, something weird is about to happen. When it is about morality or politics, you know.
If there was a Hall of Fame for great songs, Tom T. Hall's "Pay No Attention to Alice" would be an obvious induction.

George Jones was laid to rest yesterday. In his honor, one more great song by the Possum.
Happy 80th to Willie Nelson!! "Hello Walls" is an early classic which Faron Young made a hit long before Willie had his own commercial success. The album from where this comes And Then I Wrote is a good example of the singles vs. albums format...
Oh this is not good. The great George Jones has passed. Arguably, the best singer in country music history, Jones' collection of amazing songs is almost unmatched. Its true he.
Tonight's exploration of American culture's underbelly is brought to you by Roger Hallmark and The Thrasher Brothers, who I think had the most sophisticated response to Iranian Revolution imaginable.
In what is the greatest deal in the world, you can buy Tammy Wynette's custom 1977 Lincoln limo for $7950. And check out that interior! I wonder what kind of mileage that thing gets? 2 mpg? Here's some Tammy and George for your Saturday night....
