It's like the Hall of Fame -- you need more than just one good year to be selected.<br /><br />It was right after 1991 that I turned to jazz. The day Cobain died was symbolically more or less the day the (rock) music died, at least in terms of being a vital or innovative form. There have no doubt been good things since them, but nothing really new. As far as I know.

They are probably more properly categorized as a crossover band but their last album is more overtly Christian themed. Very good musicians with the lead singer who has a raw quality that I like. Their studio recordings are very good but their live performances are better as the soul of their music is better when unleashed than buttoned up.<br /><br />They're country boys from Possum Kingdom South Carolina - ya gotta love that.EbonyRaptorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02483546359869912858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-21675000868086957652014-08-04T07:32:49.859-07:002014-08-04T07:32:49.859-07:00Listening to all this country music reminds me of ...Listening to all this country music reminds me of sitting in hot cars with no AC, cracked vinyl seats, rolled-down windows, someplace very dusty, with a lot of brown and orange decor.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-65529596691074156442014-08-04T07:28:43.649-07:002014-08-04T07:28:43.649-07:00It's kind of astounding that he's still al...It's kind of astounding that he's still alive.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-19353846137596316812014-08-04T07:27:06.265-07:002014-08-04T07:27:06.265-07:00Maybe if Parsons had stayed within country instead...Maybe if Parsons had stayed within country instead of trying to embrace the rock world, he'd still be alive today.

So ma...O.k. no messing I think I've twigged it. So man has two natures. His animal nature as described by Charles Darwin and when it's transcended his Divine nature as described by Jesus Christ. Your Divine nature will be in invert proportion to your animal nature. The bible refers to the animal nature in man as 'the beast'. Your personal beast can be a lion or a pussycat depending on how well it's been domesticated. TRUE religion will help in the training process, but you must be ever watchful or it can go feral again. Sexual instincts reside in the animal nature, hence celibacy for religious orders. But isn't God taking a chance with man, who has free will and may not continue to procreate and in a few short epochs the dolphins could be scratching their heads when they unearthed the fossils of the dinosaur who found God. If you didn't know any better you'd say that God was playing dice, and loaded dice at that. An atheist might say loaded with libido, but the rest of us would say loaded with Love. Which all reminds me of the catchy little hit of the sixties by the aptly named band 'Amen Corner' called 'If paradise was half as nice'. A lyric of it goes - if paradise was half as nice as heaven that you take me to, who needs paradise I'd rather have you-. I think I'll put my whip and chair away for now and put down a saucer of milk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-83753225151229044142014-08-03T13:58:53.741-07:002014-08-03T13:58:53.741-07:00Hi Bob,
