CMAs - Public Service Announcement

Chris Bauer · Post by **Chris Bauer** » 10 Nov 2010 3:03 pm

Since the CMAs will be starting here shortly, I thought I'd save us all a bit of time and trouble by posting the predictable complaints ahead of time.

"It just isn't country music except maybe that Miranda Lambert song."

"It isn't worth listening to because there was almost no steel guitar you could hear."

"Why doesn't everyone have the decency to dress like you're supposed to on stage like in the good old days."

"I tried to watch but it was just too (fill in the blank) so I switched it off after a couple of minutes."

My hope is that by getting these out of the way in advance, it will allow us all to just sit back and enjoy the show should we, in fact, choose to watch.

Glad to help.

Why did Elton John use Robert Randolph on the CD with Leon..?

We'll see if my twin brother Kanye shows up this time...

I hate to miss the show, but I really need to watch some paint dry. Paint is so finicky and unpredictable.

Gotta add:

"why do they always pan to the drummer/fiddle/audience when the steeler's playin'?"

Theresa, I don't think they are getting it out of their system... I think they are just practicing!

I just watched some dude using not so good language in his song. Nuff for me!

sitting here at my computer watching CMA. can't say much for the music so far but the chicks look great!

Your right, why do they have closeups of all the band members
except the steel players?

David Graves · Post by **David Graves** » 10 Nov 2010 6:21 pm

Lonnie... do you really think we watch it for the vocalist? So many of them are lost without their miracle studio engineers and pitch correction software. But yes, the ladies look great and rumor has it that Mike Johnson is gonna be on and I'm sure Randall Currie isn't to far away from Brads side... so I'll keep watching.

Lonnie Wells · Post by **Lonnie Wells** » 10 Nov 2010 6:26 pm

I hear a steel every now and then but camera seems to stay away from shot of the player. Rebas on now. she still has a great voice. looks great too!

I've seen and heard steel guitar so far. Even though, Paul didn't get musician of the year he is playing in & outs!

It doesn't even start out here for another hour and to minudtes. What am I gonna miss?

Chris Bauer · Post by **Chris Bauer** » 10 Nov 2010 8:05 pm

Just to clarify, gang, I didn't say those were my thoughts - just the ones I seem to read year after year after year from everybody else...

Wally Taylor · Post by **Wally Taylor** » 10 Nov 2010 8:12 pm

Hmmmm. Paul did not get musician of the year???
Had to be because they don't know what a steel is since they never show one!

Mac Macanally or however you spell it for guitar....really.

Interesting.

I watched some of it with my son, who is a punk rocker. He said, "Wow, my band could be on there."

I said "That's right. Doesn't matter what kind of music you play. Just put on a cowboy hat, and you're country."

I'll bet Lower Broad was honking last night..

From what I heard a lot of people were disapointed they could not get tickets..For a city and an industry that was devastated by flood waters, this was a very good night..I did not hear any HOF inductions last night or did I miss that part?.All in all one of the better shows..I was impressed with the ZAC BROWN band..I admit its the first time I ever heard them or of them..
