Nothing sums up Nashville like gone country by Alan Jackson

Song is timeless.
It’s becoming even more evident now with all these posers making country music because they couldn’t make it in rap and the rock scene is dead

It may sum up country music but not Nashville. Not anymore

I’d say calling the town/industry a bunch of carpet baggers is spot on no?

Do you ever go to Nashville and hang out any places and pitch songs back and forth?

Still remember the night he performed it at the CMA's. Priceless.

I love Alan Jackson and his music, but I don't think he's a very good live performer.

Is that a thing? Do people just go to certain bars in Nashville to play their songs and sell them to famous artists?

I've never had much luck playing in any of the bars, but there are other approaches, and you just have to start going and learning. Joining NSAI is a good first step, and going to some workshops/publisher nights in Nashville and meeting people. They also likely have a local chapter near you.
If you are writing pretty good songs, NSAI will pitch them for you and put you in touch with the people that you need to know. In the meantime you meet other writers and when they have a bit of success, that's a step closer for you. It's a long game. You have to work on your songs, do your demos and put in the effort, and keep at it.

Well, they tend to give those jobs to ex-ballplayers and people that are, you know, in broadcasting.

OK, I did. It said I would need to get a pen and paper, and learn to play a musical instrument. It didn't mention any kind of job.

Haha!
Here you go:
“ George: Well, it doesn't even have to be the general manager. Maybe I could be like, an announcer. Like a colour man. You know how I always make those interesting comments during the game.
Jerry: Yeah. Yeah. You make good comments.
George: What about that?
Jerry: Well, they tend to give those jobs to ex-ballplayers and people that are, you know, in broadcasting.”
When he said “I write good songs”, this popped into my head.

I always felt like "write your own songs" was appropriate.

I think most artists at least write some of their own songs, but most have a certain niche that they are good at. If they want a well rounded album, they will cover some different writer's songs. It just makes things more interesting.
