According to Sirius: Where it all started. Nothing but classics from Merle Haggard, Dolly Parton, Waylon Jennings, Tammy Wynette, Conway Twitty, Patsy Cline and more. Legendary music from the Hall of Fame to the Grand Ole Opry...it's what real country music is made of.My Experience: The further up the dial we go in the country genre, the further back in time we go...and the more I like the music. If we started at "current" country, and proceeded through "retro" country, this can only be described as "classic" country. It reminds me of the stuff my dad used to listen to on the radio before I was even a teenager...so it kind of takes me back. And when you get back that far, you can really start to hear the origins of the music, and the influence of the times. Then you start to see how some of Elvis's tunes weren't that far off from country...
Sample Playlist:
- T.G. Sheppard, I Loved 'Em Every One (1981)
- Conway Twitty, I Can't Stop Loving You (1972)
- John Conlee, Miss Emily's Picture (1987)
- Dave & Sugar, The Door is Always Open (1976)
- Jim Reeves, Four Walls (1957)
- Jerry Lee Lewis, What's Made Milwaukee Famous (1968)
High Point: Getting to hear a song other than Great Balls O' Fire by Jerry Lee Lewis...and finding out that he wrote lyrics like "What's made Milwaukee famous / has made a fool out of me." Nice to see that even back in the '60s they were singing about the unfortunate effects beer can have.Verdict: Came damn near bookmarking this one, for nostalgia's sake, but honestly can't see me tuning in with any degree of regularity.

I like the part in Roadhouse where he tells the girl that he's going to make her his regular saturday night thing and patrick swayze catches him. apparently its against house rules to be banging cowgirls backwards on the boss' dime.
is it a bad sign that i need your help remembering the last movie?
