Has anyone noticed how much Olney sounds like Townes on a lot of his new
album?
Or am I the only one who hears it?

Did any one notice that David doesn't care that one of the best songs on
the album is not going to get air play on most radio stations since he's
not creative enough to not use F#%k!

Before we get to the actual list, I'd like to thank everyone who
contributed to the third annual best of P2 poll. More folks contributed
than ever before (153, compared to last year's 124 and 1996's 50), and it
made for a remarkable list.

And, this may mark me as an irredeemable old fogey, but what's the
deal with the hair? Is this an alt/rock thing, you gotta have a bunch of
greasy hair hanging down in front of your face. Both Ryan Adams and Rhett

annoying

Some of us have to wait until release date to even try to hear it. I know that
Townes was a big influence of Olney's and that Van Zandt thought highly
of Olney's songwriting

- Who decides who becomes a member of the Opry and who doesn't? For
instance, there was a big deal made of the guests (Daryl Singletary,
John Berry, Sherrie somebody from Australia) as opposed to the

Sherrie Austin (and BTW, Singletary spells his name Daryle).
