tune it in better and knocked it into the water,
right in the middle of "Incense and Peppermints." For an agonizing second
there I thought I was gonna be electricuted, but all that happend is that
the Strawberry Alarm Clock went "glub glub glub."

Music reviewing is a lot like sports writing. There aren't
u, who else?
Nevermind the insult to Mr. McCoury -- Earle is a singer first? Hell's
bells. Give this man my hearing aids.

Amy's future former husband, if she's still interested, and former future
former husband, if she's thrown him over.

"TEATRO isn't the demented freakfest of 'My Uncle Used to Love Me, But She
Died,' but it is a work of subtle songcraft and blazing originality." --
Kembrew McLeod, in Addicted to Noise.
'one of
today's most respected bluegrass performers' Del McCoury (who?) and some
other folks whose names I'll forget the millisecond I stop typing them."
Ha! Ha! What a card.
(This quote is only incidental to the topic of my screed. I'm after bigger
fish to shoot.)

P.S. I forgot to quote this line:
"Country gals are as plagued with pre-millennium tension as
German-Jamaicans with twisted faces, Trio II says."
I'm sure it does, hoss.

Wasn't Cherlyn, that was Cheryl... but anyway, to give credit where credit
is due, Tom Ekeberg is the one who first confessed to being cornfused.
--Cheryl Cline
Cherlyn,
I like your use of the word "cornfused." Can I use that? I'll credit you.

The difference between Me Margasak:
Margasak:
Despite Earle's declared love for bluegrass and
his close identification with Texas country-rock bards like Guy Clark
and Townes Van Zandt, he's always played far more rock than country
from his wonderfully bombastic 1988 breakthrough album,
am.
Maybe this is why Dan sees more women in Walmart than in the impeccably
indie stores. I mean, it's *so* much more convenient to pick up some
country CDs while shopping for fishing gear.
--Cheryl Cline
Sorry everyone, but...
Lowell, could you contact me? Mail keeps bouncing from the e-mail
address I have for you.
Alternately -- does anyone have Lowell Kaufman's current e-mail address,
if he's not subscribed?
T'anks,

between time and Timbuktu, generations, the so-called Boomer canon, and
stuff I'm shit sick of.
Hey. Work is slow, and life is good.

from Hot New Country, or the Urban Cowboy fad, or the Nashville Sound (some
people who disliked the slick sound of country music in the early 60s moved
to bluegrass!).
We jump into the reservoir, and some of us go all the way under water. Our
first question is:
Where can I find more music like the Byrds/Waylon Jennings/Jason the
Scorchers/Uncle Tupelo?
Our second question is:
Where can I find Merle Haggard's tribute to Jimmie Rodgers?
--Cheryl Cline
;roots music" in the 70s and early 80s, wasn't it? Hmmm
Maybe I need more coffee.
I'm unpacking boxes of books and magazines (and clippings) though, so maybe
I can find some clues. (Never move into a place with a garage. You NEVER
get your stuff unpacked.)

ait, that was tried. "Post-Traditionalist
Country?" "Neo-Classic Country?" "Post-Classic Neo-Traditionalist
Country?" "Too Country For YOU, Buddy?" (Not you, Buddy. g)
Just WONDERING.
Seems like an awful lot of country-type music falls through the cracks

er to apply a double
standard to her stage clothes. What double standard? Imagine the same exact
dress on Tina Turner. That double standard. Plus, the catty comments about
the Dixie Chicks' sartorial shortcomings are pretty rich coming from a

Thanks,

omo poster and feature it on the "Now Playing"
rack as often as we can stand. 8-) Etc.
But, how much $$? And does the fee go up on weekends? Evenings? I've
never done this before, so clue me in to what's standard, expected, etc.
Lastly but not leastly, what about ASCAP fees?
Thanks much,
own, then!) Rather than having to
decide, "is this artist really alternative country?" the question would be,
"how does this artist fit into an alterantive way of looking at country
music?" How does Ralph Stanley fit in? Tish Hinojosa? Merle Haggard? What
effect does Garth Brooks have? Etc.
More on this later,

different personalities spring up on the Web, even if they do all have the
same name g. And I'm really glad that Diana is focusing on some of the
older bands, who get lost in the rush to find the "next big thing."
So welcome Twang Thang! Just remember when you start getting mail
that the article didn't really mention much
about Tashian's more recent activity, though I'd guess that has to do
with the legendary status that the Remains have at this point.
So, is this like a conspiracy to cover up his later success as a country
musician to keep his "cool" image

ANYONE here knows where I can get my hands on a copy of this, please share
this information.
