>>> Like most conspiracy theories, Jim's may be attractive for those who
like simple explanations for the complicated doings of the real world, but
that doesn't make it right.
Well, I don't want to prolong the agony of this too much longer, but I just
wanted to point out that I know it's a LOT more complicated than the simple
scenario than I described. But I only have so much time to post, unlike a
couple of others it seems. There's a ton of behind the scenes politics
involved, stuff that we can't know, that explains why "The Key" wasn't more
successful than it was and why certain artists get on the radio or get any
exposure and some don't. I suggest reading "Get Hot Or Go Home" the story
of Trisha Yearwood's rise in the early 90's for a pretty good glimpse at
the behind the scene workings of the supposed "Nashville machine."
I want to add that I hope Mike is right with his observation that some
country stations are leaning towards actually playing country music again.
I had to stop the other day to find out what song was playing on a local
station cos it sounded almost "alt.country." Turned out to be the latest
Dixie Chicks single. Anyone else heard that one?
Jim, smilin'
