I like Carrie a lot. Definitely know that Garth is very popular, though I couldn't name a song off the top of my head. I'm sure I would recognize some of them though. Johnny Cash, though...no way...can't stand him--he's got to be from the 65 and up club.
I am a huge fan of Cash's work. I recommend The Essential Johnny Cash. It contains such classics as Ring Of Fire, Folsom Prison Blues, Jackson, Ghost Riders In The Sky, I Walk The Line, The Man In Black, a couple of Dylan covers, The Wanderer (with U2), Sunday Morning Coming Down, The Ballad Of Ira Hayes, Don't Take Your Guns To Town,etc. String soaked sentimental country music it isn't. It's raw and direct.
Re: Eagles Mentions in the Press
Great!
Fp, over here, everything Carrie Underwood sings hits number one on the country charts and stays there for weeks, it seems. She really has a great voice. imo! I got to see her with Keith Urban last spring and she was great. Her and Keith did Stop Draggin' My Heart Around together and did an excellent job!
Edited to add: ( I need to read all the posts, before I post!)
Love Johnny Cash-what a great American country icon!
Garth was really big here a few years ago, but I got tired of him.

Oh AZ, didn't you hear? They're executing Joe Walsh. ;-)

PM, you don't want to go there with me, lol, I just didn't get the humor in that "news item" But I have to admit that when I read the story that someone from here posted I did find it funny. I'm sorry I don't remember who wrote it and I'm to lazy to go back and dig out who it was, but they did a good job.

Doesn't it just seem... I don't know, beneath him? He's basically royalty. Why would he want to play at the Super Bowl? His songs are so intricate. But I suppose this is why I'm a horse racing afficionado, not a football'er (or American footballer, or however I can politely acknowledge that people outside the US are reading this forum - I'm more than happy to refer to it as "the useless sport" but that's just me).

I do, however, apologize if I offended you.

I love the Super Bowl what's wrong with it?

I would have loved to have seen Keith and Carrie together! And that song would've been great!!

Now you're talking! My absolute favorite sporting day of the year is the first Saturday in May...Derby Day! I've been to each of the Triple Crown Races; but alas, only once each (and not in the same year, luckily...) I make it a point as many summers as I can to get to the beautiful Saratoga Springs (NY) Race Track for at least one or two days. Nothing finer!
However, although I certainly don't mind the Super Bowl, I don't personally pay it as much attention as the rest of my family does. Oh, except for this past winter when Bruce and the E Streeters were the Emmy-nominated half-time extravaganza...now, that was something that caught my eye (and ear)! :band:

Nothing, I suppose, if you like football. Lots of drunk men cheering on other men intent upon physically assaulting one another isn't my idea of entertainment, but whatever makes you happy.

:bow: I would seriously consider sacrificing several decades from my lifespan for the opportunity to experience a Derby! During Breyerfest I toured Churchill Downs, the year Silver Charm won... what an experience to stand beside the track across which so many legends have thundered! (Except Big Red, of course.) I'm so jealous you're able to visit Saratoga regularly. And I must wholeheartedly concur - the First Saturday in May crowns all. I wish Zenyatta could have attempted the Triple Crown this year, but her Oaks performance was truly remarkable.

you have the idea of football all wrong. It's merely a sport of competitiveness, and athleticism.
