      add keith urban, Taylor swift & many others to that list. Not saying I'd want them to pass. just sick of the so called country music nowadays. At least in 70's during the country pop phase then it still had a country beat too it.

      if more true country fans would do what I did decades ago and turn those stations off Trashville would be forced back into real country music. only station I listen to anymore is a local l ld country station which plays hank hank jr, waylon, willie, keith (not that pop wannabe country keith), JC, and all the other traditional country music greats.

      Ok so I'm not sure if your talking to me or what? But number one I thought it was a great comment for the man's legacy. Kinda like aj did when he sang about hank. You can smell whiskey in the air. But as far as living ing my moms basement. I live in my own paid off home. Have been married 16 yrs. Have 3 teenage boys. Work my ass off daily. And when I do get the time to get on youtube I like my real country music. In this case I commented. So ride along little doggie.
