*Place in the Sun* was one of the best albums (in any genre) in whatever year it came out, by the way.

I'd totally pay to hear that, but only if Faith Hill released a box set in which she responded to every song.

Me I ain't heard shit aside from "Let's Make Love" and that alone won't make me investigate further.

It's always a good year for country hokum.

well, remeber, he's talking about people who OWN the village voice, who, um, bob and i have also disagreements with over the past couple years. anyway, yeah, place in the sun made my top ten which ran in the voice (as did short lists i wrote praising him) before he did who are they. bob liked lou reed before take no prisoners, though, i think. (though he did love the early '80s stuff, i guess. hmm.) he thought tim's pro-choice song was okay, too, i think. and i think he made a funny chief nokahoma joke once in re: indian outlaw and tug.

"i like it i love it" is one of tim's WORST hits ever, by the way. and i forget what "don't take the girl" sounds like!

"To me, there's a lot of politics being played and a lot of people trying to put people in bad positions in order to further their agendas," McGraw, a 38-year-old native of Delhi, La., said after ABC News Radio's Dan Gordon asked about Katrina.

"When you have people dying because they're poor and black or poor and white, or because of whatever they are — if that's a number on a political scale — then that is the most wrong thing. That erases everything that's great about our country."

McGraw specifically criticized President Bush. "There's no reason why someone can't go down there who's supposed to be the leader of the free world … and say, 'I'm giving you a job to do and I'm not leaving here until it's done. And you're held accountable, and you're held accountable, and you're held accountable.

"'This is what I've given you to do, and if it's not done by the time I get back on my plane, then you're fired and someone else will be in your place. '"

* Does not include "Indian Outlaw," "Don't Take the Girl."

so I guess that means Faith >>>>>>>>> Benny ??

FUCK YEAH

heard "Don't Tell The Girl" today & I think I'm with this thread: pretty clunky song. With the first chorus you get what the trick's gonna be, & it rolls out predictably after that. But it moves too quickly & though I could feel that I coulda shed a tear---McGraw's voice sells the weep---the song pulls its punch & you don't learn what happens to the girl. I felt kinda used afterwards.

ah shit "Don't Take The Girl" I meant

I was playing "Suspicions" on continuous loop last Sunday.

That's a sexy song.

I like the album, even the Faith Hill duet.

I only know the big hits but I oughta dig deeper ("Don't Take The Girl" aside).

what the fuck

Oh. Wow. Scandinavian, didn't know the term. He or someone around him has got to be aware of the connotations, right? I can't imagine otherwise. And if so, man, that's blatant.

On the other hand: known Democrat, plans on running for office in Tennessee. He'd need AfAm votes. But hhow do you not vet your titles. Thisbis confusing.

(Fucking phone...)

kind of a minor and understated mcgraw hit but i think some things never change is one of his best

I once won a baseball autographed by his dad at a local McDonald's. I immediately dropped it in a puddle in the parking lot, smearing the ink.

haha RIP
