I will, though, point out that the Sovines are missing a real bet by not covering "Papa Loved Mama." It's got Mama, trucks and drinking in it, plus diesel-related violence to boot - and it, er, rocks. [Matt Benz] Consider that taken under advisement, Jon. What album? I'll open

Part of what Jon said, I could go album by album and point out stuff on each and every one of them that is more hardcore country than about half of the P2 top 10 albums all put together, by just about any standard you can think of. More part of what Jon said, However, please note that I and

dummy. If his *primary* motivation for selling tons of CDs and concert tickets was to make as much money as possible, he surely wouldn't be sellin' his stuff so cheap. As Jon sez, most likely he's after the fame that goes with the record numbers. If he just wanted the bucks, he could easily be

I think you're missing Jon's point. The Garthman has been selling his CDs for considerably lower than what he could undoubtedly get for them. He's been doing the same with his concert tickets for quite some time. He could easily be making more money from sales than he is right now if he

Used CDs are fine as long as the artist and/or label is hurting less financally than you are. That's pretty good. Hey Matt, you should write a book similar to that Steve Earle In Quotes thing. I'd buy it. You know, I would too come to think of it. I gotta admit that in earlier

Garth and Madonna are both very clever at promotion, marketing, image and giving the masses what they want. Whether that's "art" or not is disputable, yet I'm sure they believe it to be. It's really just pop music I guess. at least Madonna has nice tits. So therefore I would be more inclined

Of course he is in it for the money! Of course, it is just a guess and my opinion, blah blah blah. Why do you think he wants to sell the maximum number of CDs? Um, for the fame? You know, being number 1, etc. Of course, it's just a guess, but it wouldn't surprise me if running reasonable
