What: “A rare glimpse behind the genre’s rhinestoned Nudie suit façade, these black and white photos put real, raw faces to the men and women at its outlaw roots” – that’s what I wrote way back when for the Independent Weekly’s 2007 Fall Guide regarding Nashville Portraits: Legends of Country Music. It was cool to stumble upon the book three years later.

Does it get more country than George Jones singing the lyrics “I put a golden band/On the right left hand this time/And the right left hand/Put a golden band on mine”?

I’ll answer that one: No. No, it does not.

Awesome song discovered courtesy of the new 570AM classic country station on this morning’s commute.

NBC Cancels Law & Order, via The New York Times. Detective Briscoe (also RIP) would not approve.

I feel like there’s a “Nobody puts Lenny in the corner” joke here somewhere, but it’s Friday.
