i used to think this way also. however, it has changed. if you like music (i'm not particularly a country music fan), this is about 4 hours of some damn good music. i do like bluegrass (good bluegrass, that is) and the stage inn in the gulch is top notch. also, there are a number of "non-country" venues that are superb; the basement on 8th ave; 4th and lyndsey; 12th and porters; the radio cafe in east nashville and the many others. get fridays newspaper (that's right; it's better than the web because of the way it's layed out) and go to the club section. IF you decide to go to several and they aren't within walking distance, i HIGHLY recommend a DD or take a cab. nashville cops do not like DUI. there is also nothing wrong with tootsies, roberts and rips across the street, esp if you like country. hell, even if you don't like it that much (like me), "when in rome.............."
