My short attention span is legendary, so last night I was doing the channel flipping channel thing on the tube, and stumbled upon the CMT Music Awards (that’d be country music, pardner!) - which I would normally blow past like a turbo-charged ‘71 Road Runner at a yellow light. But I had to be sure that I REALLY saw what I thought I saw. Rapper Snoop Dogg, in a cowboy hat, on the friggin’ COUNTRY music awards show! WTF? Better yet, WT-effin’-F?
This is a scene that - to me, anyway - is more unlikely than the 1st Mrs. Mitch being able to sucessfully boil water! And what makes it more scary is that Snoop was talking backstage about his new COUNTRY song! Eddie Money I can understand, but SNOOP DOGG? What next? Deep Purple does a gansta rap album?
This has me a little freaked out. I think I need a or twelve…

Hey Mitch…I saw that too. I’m not much into country music, but what passes for country these days is a far cry from even 20 years ago. If you listen close, you can hear Johnny Cash spinning in his grave over this crap.I almost think of the “country” singers of today as ones who could not quite find success in pop music, so they threw a little country flavor into it and presto….they made it on the country charts.
