Yankeerebel "Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind" has that authentic steel and fiddle sound that is so much like the Bob Wills 40s sound. Trying to pick a favorite George Strait song would be like picking the prettiest girl at a Miss America pageant.

George Jones Speaks Out

SomeCowgirl @SomeCowgirl (32189) • United States 3 Nov 09

I was on aol today and saw this article about George Jones. He's speaking out against Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift, two of the newest big country stars that he feels isn't country at all. Read the article to find out more but...

Yankeerebel I partly disagree with George. Carrie has done and is doing a lot of traditional Country material. I've heard nothing by her that sounded any more Pop-like than what Tammy Wynette was doing in the 70s. Taylor Swift, on the other hand, is not Country at all,...

Have you ever heard of freezing fog before?

mentalward @mentalward (14690) • United States 31 Jan 10

We got slammed yesterday by a weather system that has wreaked havoc across the country recently. We were told we'd only get "snow showers" but ended up with 7 or 8 inches of the fluffy white stuff. Then, this morning, the...

Have you watched the movie Forrest Gump? It's a pretty old movie but still one of the best movies I watched all my life, all because of the actor Tom Hanks. He played very well in the movie indeed. The movie tells about the life...

Yankeerebel I think there are innumerable people with certain Forrest Gump traits but that no one has all of them. Gump succeeded because he had integrity and kept every promise he ever made. This movie is an insult to anyone who believes that limited ability cannot be...

Yankeerebel This may be the greatest movie soundtrack ever. Songs always remind us of where we were and what we were doing at a particular point in time. The producers of this movie did a superb job of taking me back to when those national and world events were taking...

When will the economy pick up?

Gram13000 @Gram13000 (443) • United States 30 Jan 10

When will this recession be over? Things are getting too expensive and cigerettes are 10 dollars in NYC. Does anyone know what could possibly help because we are doomed? When will wages go up something has got to give?

Yankeerebel The worst is yet to come. In the past year the nation has run up unsustainable deficits. The government is printing money as fast as it possibly can. This devalues the currency and will soon result in a wave of inflation that will raise prices even more....
