Goodbye, Cisco Calendar.

[wist43]

Not much left of country music anymore... the pop-crap they play today is unlistenable.

The end will surely come when Willie dies - then we can expect to hear endless editorials on the hazards of smoking marijuana. Yes, Willie lived to be 114 years old, but if hadn't smoked pot, he could have lived to 130!!!

I see you as a glass half-empty kinda guy, am I right? :)

Yes the Legends of Country Music are about gone yet we still have some noted good one's:

As you noted wist43 we still have Willie Nelson...and one of the Outlaws Kris Kristofferson...and unless I missed a death we have 'just off the top of my head':

George Strait....Don Williams...Clint Black...Randy Travis...Charlie Daniels...John Conlee...Barbara Mandrell... Reba McEntire...Rosanne Cash ...John Anderson ...Kathy Mattea...Barbara Mandrell...Ronnie Milsap...Dolly Parton...Eddie Rabbitt...Johnny Lee and more..........

Yes it is. It's the main reason I have Sirius XM in my truck. Willie's Roadhouse and Outlaw Country stations are the only place you can find country music. At least in Wisconsin.

I was going to see him this summer

Virgin Islands; beautiful girl, made love for hours on the beach like sea otters... that was a pretty good day, why couldn't I get that day over and over??

I'll settle for some flap jacks I guess - yes, the glass is half-empty ;)

Comment woodbuck27

I was studying a wee bit of the online stuff on Texas Holdem strategy when I came across what follows and decided I'd add it to this thread:

Merle Haggard: You Can't Bluff Willie Nelson

PokerListings Editor-in-Chief.... Matt Showell..... has a standing life dream to play in Willie Nelson's infamous Hawaii home game and now, thanks to Merle Haggard, he knows exactly how to play him if he ever does.

willie nelson ... He'll call you down.

The Country Music legend, who died yesterday on his 79th birthday, met Nelson playing poker in the early 60s. Since, their shared passion for the game never faded and the two met regularly to get some hands in.

Last year Haggard and Nelson put out their third and final record together - " Django and Jimmie " - and Haggard sat down with GQ Magazine after a show to talk about it.

They couldn't help but talk about poker, too. Here's the poker excerpt **:

RIP Merle.

The memory of the Virgin Islands; beautiful girl, making love for hours Vs settling now for flap-jacks....Ohh no....what aging does to the mind.

:-) ..... I'd re-evaluate wist43.... Isn't your glass almost ?:

Life just doesn't seem worth living anymore. Just this past spring him and Willie did a couple of songs together. One of them was about Johnny Cash

How the fuck do you post a piece of shit Jake Owens video in a Merle Haggard thread? You are a total jackass and my god have mercy on your soul!

Jackass !?? Uhh !? .........

Deputy Nutz:

Take a look a yourself in a mirror ....right now. You'll see the reflection of a REAL JACKASS.

I feel sad for you. :cry:

Hey. Should I be more patient?

Your missing the point as you often do because of your hatred...or certainly because you don't read and follow the flow of the thread. Clean up Deputy...... Come onnnn... Don't you deserve to reflect better intelligence?

OK because I care I'll try to help you by being specific and the flow of the thread and specific to whats left in C and W music?

Look at wist43's post NO. 3 (this thread).....and my subsequent responses.

PLEASE.....Look at my posts NO. 4 and 5 and 11 and 15. Getting it yet !? :???:

I'll add we still have fine C and W artists such as Lorrie Morgan, Tanya Tucker, Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, Toby Keith, Vince Gill, Blake Sheldon, Dirks Bentley, Kenny Chesney and Canada's own ( Ohh Canada ) Terri Clark, George Canyon and Jason McCoy (check them out !)...and many many more.

Deputy:

Are you listenng to any C and W music or simply sitting back in your lumpy 'Red Neck' chair pumping back Bud and farting and mentally whining a lot. WAKE UP for God's sake....and smell the rioses...or tumble weeds.... whatever blows up your kllt.

Damn! I mean Holy mackerel ! What a challenge you serve on a fella when you haters are in such need to be educated. Ignorance isn't....bliss. :!:

How about Montgomery Gentry, Brad Paisley, Trace Everett, Trace Adkins, Lee Ann Rimes, Le Ann Womack.

Deputy Nutz....come onnn.....Do you have a radio? Their cheap at WALMART.

Nobody ruins a thread quite like Woodbuck. And I should know: I have extensive, thread-ruining experience.

Woody doesn't make a distinction between guys like Haggard and pop country. He needs to listen to some Hank III.

Hank Williams III is going to be singing the opening anthem for Monday Night Foosball

No shit...talk about the height of disrespect.

No shit...talk about the nadirof disrespect.

FTFY

I didn't even know who Jake Owens was. I wish I still didn't.

I really liked the Hag.

He was the real deal, there were dozens of "outlaw" country guys, but Merle had done a stretch in San Quentin.

In his latter years, he was such a crabby old fuck.

Once I saw this slick MC type guy interview Merle.

He asked the Hag, "Merle, I bet you love being an 'International County Star".

The Hag looked at him and said, "No, I don't. Strangers just come up to you and ask you questions, bothering you. Trying to give you things, you don't even want". Merle made it clear the questioner was part of "the problem".

I loved it.

[woodbuck27]

Sometimes I really wonder about the hatred in this place. It would make Nuns swear.

It blinds some of you. Look at my posts NO. 5 and 6. Have you honestly taken real time to listen to Haggard since he died?

Mae and I entertained for dinner here last week on the day we learned of his passing and over the course of preparing and serving the meal and into that evening......I played the Meryl Haggard play list post ...see NO. 6.

What's worse...... pride or prejudice?

Do you really need to address the topic of manners and respect?

This is a simple thread damn it....RELAX.

[KYPack]

EZ there Moose Man.

Hank Williams Sr
Hank Jr
Hank III.

None of 'em are named Hank. They are actually Hiram, Randall, & Shelton.

Here's a young country guy I dig. Jamey Johnson. He's a little too mournful, but man he's got them country pipes. Jamey and Hank III are about the last boys doing real county. Shit, it's almost underground music, now.

Here's Jamey at Farm Aid (at Miller Park no less)

An eternal question, Woodcock. Probably both. Suggested reading: http://www.publicbookshelf.com/romance/pride-prejudice/

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."

Woody, for this I will kick you square in the nuts if I ever meet you, the Earth as my witness I will punt your balls so far up into your intestines you will be able cross your legs like the bitch that you are.

Deputy Nutz...Please get the blinders off ! Find 'your chill' man. It's the only way to float.

Again...I've shown absolute respect for the body of work and the departure of Meryl Haggard from this life in this thread. If my efforts to do so somehow disagrees with your attitude... that's on you mister. Why? Because your hatred has taken center stage.

You've lost it Depuity.Your a teacher ! It appears that your also a lesser man with some very real Anger Management Issues.

You must choose the man in you. Who are you Deputy?

Are you ''the Gonzoo Redneck Hater on full tilt ! I sure hope not.

The Loser ! In any contest between men...is easily determined before a final outcome.

A part of Martial Arts is a basis of determination. It's vital to be accurate in how you measure the other man. It's never the size of a man...always the MAN in the man. :idea:


Is this you? Are you this guy Deputy Nutz?
