This was a tailor-made TiVo event. There were some hits and misses throughout the evening, but overall it was a nice representation of the country music format. I would have enjoyed it a little more if CBS would pop for decent sound equipment. The stripped down performance sounded passable, but the rest of the mini-concerts sounded hollow and made me question why I spent so much money on a HDTV. The CMA’s ALWAYS sound better and are a much smoother presentation.
Highlights:
1) The Trace Adkins song “Til the Last Shots Fired” was one of those classic tv moments that sent chills up and down my spine. It was a very classy performance from one of the classiest guys in music. The intro by the young man in the wheelchair was a tender genuine moment. “It’s not about the war, it’s about the warrior”. Wow, that line resonates. The backing military choir made the song unforgettable.
2) John Rich sang his heart out. Country music does a great job of allowing a platform for musicians to tell real stories about real people. The live version of “Shuttin’ Detroit Down” had an edge to it, the studio version does not have.
3) Who was Kenny Chesney’s date. HOLY TACOS! The internet machine said she was a realtor from Boca Raton, FL. Maybe, Kenny is buying some more houses / islands / countries…
4) Nice to see long time Nashville writer Jamey Johnson get some love.
5) Matthew McConaughey was hilarious. Great story about the boots.
6) Carrie Underwood’s “I’d like to see those boots Matt” line. Funny stuff.
7) Keith Urban can really play that ax. AI reference.
Lowlights:
1) Carrie’s HUGE prom dress. It reminded me of that one 90210 episode where Donna wears that dress that she couldn’t move around in at the prom. I was waiting for duet partner Randy Travis to pop out during the performance.
2) HDTV in black and white? Bummer.
3) Sugarland is NOT a duo. A duo requires the use of 2 microphones. It’s just Jennifer Nettles and a musician. Leave it at that.
4) Billy Ray Cyrus and his endless plugs for his music, his daughter’s movies, tv shows etc. Just put your personal needs aside and introduce your daughter with class.
5) Montgomery Gentry have been spending a lot of time at the buffet lines.
6) Where was Tim McGraw?? Rumors point to a disagreement with ACM production staffers. He probably complained about the hollow sound of the telecast!
Ronnie Lee Weekdays 2-7pm on KSUX 105.7!
I showed just how country I am Wednesday while chatting with Tony Michaels. I said in high school my friends and I would cruise the loop and he looked at me with more confusion than he normally does. Tony, being from Omaha, had no idea what a loop was. Me, being the caring soul I am, shared my wisdom with this city boy. A loop is basically a stretch of pavement where you and your friends drive round and round for hours to waste gas for no good reason. This may seem like a silly passtime, but some of my best and most embarassing moments occured on or near the loop. Did you have a loop in your hometown? Any stories come to mind?

I got this in an email this week and wanted to share it. Some funny things and some true rules of Iowa!
1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.
2. Let's get this straight; it's called a 'gravel road.' I drive a
pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're
going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.
3. They are cattle. That's what they smell like to you. They smell
like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-80 goes east and west,
I-29 & I-35 go north and south. Pick one.
4. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000
combines that are driven only 3 weeks a year.
5. So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly.
Try to understand the concept.
6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of ducks are coming in, we
WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up
to your ear at the time.
7. Yeah, we eat Iowa pork chops & corn on the cob. You really want
sushi & caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.
8. The 'Opener' refers to the first day of deer season. It's a
religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of December.
9. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age.
10. No, there's no 'vegetarian special' on the menu Order steak. Or
you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham &
turkey.
11. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats,
vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and
ketchup!!
12. You bring 'coke' into my house, it better be brown, wet, and
served over ice. You bring 'Mary Jane' into my house, she better be
cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.
13. College and high school basketball is as important here as the
Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.
14. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards -- it
spooks the fish.
15. Colleges? Try Iowa State University , University of Iowa, or
University of Northern Iowa . They come outta there with an education
plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at passing
pickups when they come for the holidays.
16. We have lots of folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines,
so 'Don't Mess with Iowa'. If you do, you will get whipped by the
best.
As a country music fan, I find it distressing that there isn't a place in Sioux City where people can go to enjoy country music, dancing, and an all-around good time. At least, I'm not aware of any place.
I have had several discussions with various friends about this very subject - and that I would like to open and/or operate a country bar - and I always get the same answer.... "It would not work!" Why not?!
It seems to me that a city the size of Sioux City should be able to support a country bar. Why is it that Sioux City cannot, or will not, support a country venue?
I remember going to the Stage Coach and having a great time. Granted, there were fights and disturbances just as there are in any other bar/club setting. However, the atmosphere seemed to offer enough of a variety that even those occassional disturbances didn't matter much.
What do you think? Do you think that Sioux City could support a country bar again? If not, why? Or, are we stuck to the local bar scene and just have to see who gets to the juke box first to play music?
