re: Blake Shelton rips traditional country "old farts"

No, I totally agree with you. But Nashville has always pumped out warmed over crap. The reason it was called "outlaw country" is because they couldn't get the support of the old farts running country music back in the 60s and 70s. Mainstream country has always been warmed over pop. There's not a huge difference between the Mandrell sisters and Shania Twain or Roy Rogers and Blake Shelton.

The Grand Ole Opry did not embrace Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash.

But I do, in general, support those who told the old fogeys to stop foisting their music on us. You had your time, and now its over. We like a lot of what you did, but we like this new stuff, too. Life moves on.
