NASHVILLE, Tenn.--The Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) launched a new unit on Thursday night dedicated to policing the downtown entertainment district.
One more item added to the long list of things that keep me from visiting Nashville. There is 100 times more class in the shop section of any Cracker Barrell than in downtown Nasholio
I can't stand the place and the only parts of Nashville I've been to are the airport which is right on the outskirts and the hospital for Lisa. When Lisa's teenaged granddaughter visited last year, she wanted to go to Nashville because she's a pretty talented guitar player and really loves the music scene. We called Lisa's nephew and asked if he'd be willing to take her, then slipped him a couple hundred bucks so they'd have fun. Emma got to go to Nashville, Manuel and his wife got drinks on me, and I got to stay away. It worked out for everybody.
How about Hank, Ernest Tubb, Loretta Lynn, The Carter Family, Johnny Cash, etc, etc. If not, you haven't assimilated. Oh, and one of the greatest country singers ever, Jerry Lee Lewis.
I lived just south of Nashville for a few years in the early 90's. Nashville Metro were the most corrupt brutal fuckers I have ever seen. They made Detroit PD look like Boy Scouts. If you were in the tourist section you were good. Hit the dive bars and you assumed all risks.

I feel I've found a safe space where I can say Garth Brooks is a pompous idiot, Underwood is underwhelming, and Urban is no cowboy.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home, my Friend.
DeleteYea, but I bet you beat off to Taylor Swift DVDs in that safe space.

ReplyDeleteI love listening to dead folks from back when country music was country music.
