I am sorry for using Palin’s name in my comment-she was the first thing to come to mind- I will leave politics out of all of my future comments. Once again I am sorry.

Blake,

I live in West Nashville and while it’s pretty conservative, there’s a fair-share of left people in my area. I’ll also be reviewing Toby’s CD @ roughstock (though, thankfully, I’m finally getting some other writers on board!)

Eleven, you must live in the East. Have I seen you yet?

I’m reviewing the new Toby Keith album next week, so the issue of politics is bound to rear its ugly head again. Hopefully we all remain civil internet creatures.

It’s nearly impossible to escape the political stuff, and believe me, I’ve tried. I deleted all my political links a good two months ago. I’d like to keep the politics out of here as well, but sometimes it spills over.

My advice is to ignore it, and not escalate it with another cheap shot. The Sarah Palin comment was gratuitous, but so was your reference to liberals as Socialists. As Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

Craig R…. With all due respect, WHY the Sarah Palin reference?
Some of us come here for a nice escape from the 24/7 politics and please keep in mind that not everyone who likes music/art is Liberal.

I just find such references incredibly unnecessary. I live in a Uber-Liberal neighborhood in Nashville and am up to my ears in the Socialists’ nonsense.
Just give us all a frickin’ break and leave the political remarks for the other kajillion blogs and boards out there.

Sorry Kevin and others for getting off topic like that. Enough is enough.

Dan: I was thinking the same thing as you, some of the recent album titles are really sucky. Even LAW’s new one “Call Me Crazy” isn’t all that great and I don’t find it fits the mood of the album.

Who the sheck is coming up with all of these sucky album titles, anyway? Why Wait, Learn to Live, Do You Know, Little Bit of Everything, now That's Why? Really?

Craig Morgan panders to his fans. He sings about ordinary things and tries to make them seem better, more real, and, to some degree, more American. But like Sarah Palin he falls flat time and again because his voice is as ordinary as his songs. Whenever he sings I think he is like the guy at Dollywood who sings in some attraction. He sings ok but I am not stopped in my tracks by his voice. Craig Morgan’s fans- who are probably the people I see in the Opry audience every Saturday night- want to think-need to think- that their feelings and actions, although average, are normal and important. In many ways they are right. But they deserve a better singer and better songs than a Craig Morgan can produce. He is trying to sell their lives back to them on the cheap. His audience is smarter than that I hope.

Craig Morgan is just kinda too vanilla, IMO.

I bought it, it’s like his other albums good enough to get by but nothing special.
