Janice (jamasc) | 59889 comments I'll bet the Willy Nelson book was interesting. We went to see him when we were in Vegas, and I actually quite enjoyed the show. I'm not a big country music fan. It was a compromise. I'll go to Willy, and you'll go to my choice.

Yeah, I always say that I'm not a country music fan as well, and then I find I like this one or that one! Country is no longer the music I grew up disliking in Tennessee, where I spent my youth "grooving" on rock n roll. It has become "cross-over" music.

I really enjoyed It's a Long Story: My Life. It completely changed my opinion of him as a scoundrel into a gentleman.

There are some country songs that I like, but they would be "cross-over" music. I like Keith Urban for instance. But that nose twanging stuff still bothers me.
