I literally have no idea who any of these people are or what any of this means. Nor do I care.

I'm just gonna put on a Haggard album. That's what makes me happy.

No disrespect to the Hag, but Aaron Watson does a good cover of Silver Wings.

florida georgia line responded

quote:

Lost a lot of respect for a great songwriter Charlie Robison today. The country music community has always been about respect and support. May we never live in bitterness towards the ever evolving genre that’s been so good to us.


quote:

As per usual, Florida Georgia Line would have probably been better served by keeping their mouth shut. First off, bringing up the tired argument that country music needs to “evolve” was not even necessary here. Charlie Robison did not say anything about anyone’s music. His comments were expressly directed at Gary Overton.; not any other artist. This also makes the “respect and support” lines from Florida Georgia Line banal and uninformed. Gary Overton was the one clearly disrespecting an entire class of country music performers by saying “they don’t exist,” and Charlie Robison was simply responding in kind. Florida Georgia Line brought a formulaic retort to the table they use for when people criticize their music, when it has absolutely no relevance to the current topic.

Meh.

I knew Bobby once upon a time when he lived in Austin. He's actually a pretty decent guy. He panders to the Nashville market because that's his bread and butter.

I'm also not a fan of Aaron's music but by all accounts he's a super nice guy, too, and a great family man. They seem to have reached an understanding regarding the matter and everyone else took it far more seriously than the two of them did. I think both could have handled things better but I also think that the whole situation got blown WAY out of proportion.

Florida Georgia Line is still fricking terrible.

Charlie fricking carpet bombed their asses with his response


quote:

A few words for Gary Overton. I was signed by Warner bros, and Sony during the days I had the patience to smile while ignorant pencil pushing,mullet headed expense account rapists like you ran those labels. I’m on the road right now and just finished putting on a show for the folks in Shreveport. That’s a town u call a blip on ur screen. I don’t know Aaron Watson well but I do know you well though I’ve never met you. What I know about you is so sad. I spent so many years in Nashville watching you ignorant wastes of space sit behind your big desk and act like me and all the the Texas/Red dirt artists don’t exist. Well Mr. “I have a job today but as soon as Florida/Georgia line goes out of style,and believe me dumbass they will,you will not exist”. Saying that music does not exist unless it’s on the radio is like saying you don’t exist because you never got laid until you got your two week job as the head of Walmart Records. I probably have a bigger house than you(for the time being because you’ll be back in the Mail room like all the other Nashville (heads). I’ll still be playing for crowds that have been loyal to me for 25 years) lemme cut you in on some people who don’t exist. Willie Nelson,Billy joe Shaver,Robert Keen,Vincent Van Gogh and Picasso didn’t exist for a long time. Guy Clark,Lyle Lovett, and the ever terrible songwriter Steve Earle. When the world of music fans go to bed tonight they’ll be singing these amazing artists in their head. You my friend will be wondering how you could ever reach your unreachable place in the annals of mediocrity. Have fun hovering above your tombstone and listening to people say “who the frick is that?”as they make they’re way to Townes’s grave. I’m sorry I lost my train of thought,I think it was “who doesn’t exist?” Yep that’s it gary overton. Sweetheart

Charlie has no problem putting people in their place... Resident badass of the red-dirt scene.

FGL sucks, as do most (not all) of the country artists on the radio... That is why I switched to using my iPod in the truck almost exclusively. I'd much rather listen to REK and the likes over today's country.
