A Christmas Wish for Some Country Folk
My Country Christmas wish list for some needed presents for some special someones:
- For Kellie Pickler: a world map. And a little geography lesson on exactly what “Europe” means. And pointers as to where Bulgaria is. And just all that stuff, you know. I have an extra world globe I’d be happy to give her.
- For Kenny Chesney and Rodney Atkins: fashion consultant sessions with Manuel. Listen, if I could afford him, I’d be at Manuel’s shop right now. The man knows what he’s doing. He can make you truly a sharp-dressed man.
- For all of country music: a Banjo Licensing Bureau. Unfortunately, rampant banjo abuse in Nashville’s recording studios has caused the proper authorities to take action. Earl Scruggs of course will be the ultimate authority on the banjo standards to be issued. Only Bureau graduates, as CBPs (Certified Banjo Pickers), will be allowed in public with a banjo in hand.
- For Mindy McCready: a get-out-of-jail-free card. You think maybe she’s suffered enough? And would perhaps be better off in serious rehab than behind bars? She has made stupid mistakes aplenty, but she deserves a chance at genuine treatment.
- Now that Porter Wagoner has died, we need to find someone else who knows the location of Nashville’s Lost Rhinestone Mines. And someone who remembers how to find the old Sequin Quarry, reputed to be somewhere west outside town. I fondly remember back to when Dolly Parton attributed her professional break-up with Porter to “creative differences,” she said. “I was creative, and he was different.”

[...] Check out Chet Flippo’s Christmas list. He wants someone to get Kellie Pickler a world map and some geography lessons and someone else to find “Nashville’s Lost Rhinestone Mines.” [...]

lol!
Let’s face it.. country music today is a parody. At least Buck Owens and Roy Clark were funny and everyone back then knew they were REAL musicians and just acting on Hee Haw.
Let Doug Dillard do some of that banjo judging too.

I’m not sure Mindy has repaid her karmic debt just yet.

Don’t you want the latestest techno Mac attack and some free downloads , an SUV, and a stinking blue tooth phone jammed in your ear with all that? I actually like Kellie and whatever she doesn’t know. Oh, to sometimez be thatta ways!
bryson jones says:
Thank you for saying that about Mindy. 6 months in treatment would likely keep her out of the court system (and off of our taxes) forever.
Treat drug addiction as the disease it is.

Chet, let’s let Rodney and Kenny dress like real men… Something you don’t see much anymore in country music. I tend to “believe” someone alot more when they’re wearing a ball cap vs. something Manuel picked out.

I thought all Kenny wanted for the holidays was a “Real Good Tan”! LOL :D
We used that song as part of collection in 2 parades for a business promotion this holiday season. Had a theme of “Tropical Christmas”. Used a boat on the back of a truck and turned it into a beach-trip, complete with palm trees and sand and water! Would KC be proud? I would hope so!
