Re: Country Music Awards
My teens (girls and boy) all like Taylor. Acts respectable and they respect her for writing so much of her stuff. None of them think she's a particularly exceptional vocalist. Seems there's some sort of "respect connection."
I like Miley -- at least I do when she sings the more traditional and honky tonk stuff. I think that's where she shines. Considering some of the other I have to hear with teens in the house...
When they turn Miley loose and let her get off the teenie-pop track, she gets a throaty traditional thing going. I swear I can hear (just a little) shades of some the grand dames of country like Loretta, June and Tammy. Not much of that out there and I dig it. I think I first noticed it on that duet she did with her Dad a year or so back.

Country Music?!
Call it what it is - Rural Pop. It ain't Country Music unless you've written a song about going to prison, and performed it one!

And the perfect way to hear that song is on Northgate -- nothing like singing along to "The Perfect Country and Western Song" with a bunch of PhDs in a dusty bar covered in dead animals, and w. generations of carvings in the tables and walls...

Re: Country Music Awards
Sorry -- Aggie thing. The grad student/biochemist bar was Dudley's Draw -- it was dusted once a year, and the walls were covered in taxidermy, old instruments, and all kinds of other detrius. All the tables had been carved into, and some of the walls. There was usually a poker game, and a 42 game going on, and when the rest of northgate was jammed, there would be space, because the yuppies (AKA nouveau Aggies) wouldn't go in there.
