If one you can be "very" lukewarm about anything, that's how I felt on hearing
the record the 1st half dozen times-- and no twang!   A couple of songs (it's
been months ago now) grew on me, but the song 'The Lucky Ones' is a pop gem
from the git-go, IMHO of course.--jb

  That was the song that I thought was so great. Did you hear Radney's last

 I don't remember that one doin' a whole lot for me either.  The last album
 of his I really dug was his solo debut, Del Rio Texas 1959.--don

Apples and oranges, folks.  Elvis sold singles in a singles world with far less
than 5 billion in it.  Go figure, again.

 OK...think about this for a minute!  Brooks has sold nearly twice as much as
 Elvis in 1/4 the time.
 Now that's a marketing machine!

I know it took me quite a while to get the hang of hangin' on.  I'm the guy who
after 6 weeks or so added up a couple of weeks and did a breakdown of who was
sending how much and about what.  Hard to believe I did that but it helped me
through my first couple of months of hardcore P2 use/lurking.  The
Twangfest/fluff list helps but to the uninitiated I simply say... stoke yur
technology and ride the Great Twang-huna!

 Just imagine the panic that must set in when someone subs because they

 Now, back to your arguing.

Considering R. McG. ended up doing 700 Club commercials for Pat
Robertson I now wonder if there was ever any irony in it.
