Watched the first four episodes with dad and totally enjoyed it. I know that there is some myth and mystique involved in the story telling. But that's fine by me. It's also a cool history lesson in where Rock&Roll came from.

Anyone else watching?

I am also not ashamed to admit that Patsy Cline cuts right through my soul :lol:

I watched part of an episode the other night that featured Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and a few others. Some of that old country music has more of a rock vibe than I remember.

George Jones was a beast of a songwriter and musician.

So was Kris Kristofferson! I was amazed to learn how many of his songs I recognized.

And the songs Shel Silverstein wrote had my wife an I laughing our heads off!

"It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chewed your ass all day."

"You're the reason our kids are ugly."

I grew up hearing all of the old country songs. It's a huge part of what my parents listened to. For me, I love hearing the stories.

As for Shel, I had no idea he was one of the outlaws. Or Kris for that matter.

Missed the Country Music documentary although, I caught a really good Bluegrass documentary, that was on PBS a week or so ago.

That reminds me of how I used to fuck around with country lyrics as a kid to irritate my parents or anyone else in earshot.

Two songs that come to mind are from Jim Reeves and Juice Newton. For Jim's Put Your Sweet Lips a Little Closer to the Phone I would sing: Put your sweet lips a little closer to my ass.

For Juice's Playing with the Queen of Hearts I would sing: Playing with the queen of farts.

Damn I was hilarious back then.
