Well, do you know the song Generic America by the great alt. country band that never seems to get their due, Blue Mountain? Stop being lazy - it does not get you anywhere at the end of the day.

Paisley Underground I forgot to mention that one.

I wasn't allowed to see that film (Jaws) back in the day - I was 9 years old when it came out. The usual: Salem's Lot, Phantasm, Communion

Hopefully, people wake up and don't just cast their vote on the so-called family values deal, leadership in times of war, and religious beliefs of canidates this time. We'll see. I figure my state will go for McCain though - but I know I won't be voting for him.

I think there is a definition - we just like to bend it. It's not opinion - it's the work of whoever makes up this genres names and time periods. If someone can offer proof that Buck Owens music was called alt.country in 1965, for example, then I will accept it. But, to me, and I believe Jeff speaks of this in the Kot book, alt. country was a mixture of country and punk/hardcore music. I, like many others, often say "I hate labels" or whatever. But, what do you say when someone asks you what kind of music you are into? I say alt.country (no one outside of people like you find here know

I hope she listens to you - seriously. I suppose you have to know that time and place I come from, there was no talks, no sex ed, no anything. So, maybe I am a bit fouled. I also do not have any kids - that I know of anyhow. So, I suppose I am going by what I did as a teenager, what those around me did when I was a teenager, and other life experiences since that time.

He's not a pervert - he's from Pittsburgh. Anyhow - once one learns about the friction, that is friction besides the friction they can make with themselves, it is all over. I don't think JC, The PTA, Doris Day, The FBI, CIA, or Mom and Pop, can stop it. Teenagers do what they do right? I sure did.

You are jabbing at people - why? We may not like them - but we all know these labels exist - dad rock, speed metal, heavy metal, alt. country, punk rock, etc. The term alt.country was not used in the 60s (as far as I know) it was called "country rock", or as Gram Parsons called it, "cosmic American music." I don't think Townes or Stever Earle would much care to be called alt.country. To me, it is a movement that grew out of the Cowpunk and the punk/hardcore movement. Therefore, alt.country could not have existed until after bands such as The Clash and Black Flag were around and gone.

Looks like he has had a make over, yes?

Go away.

Well, as far as the label goes, I don't recall reading about people refering to the Byrds or Gram Parsons as alt.country in any of the reviews or articles I have read from the time period in which they created the music. I think he is right - we have had this sort of thread/discussion about the label alt.country many, many times here over the past 6 years.

There's an interview with his mother at this site - towards the bottom of the page. Whenever I see clips from the RNC, I can't help but think of the film Idiocracy.

Oh sure. At least they did not pull a Neil Young and go for a Republican.

I'd like to see the whole show of the clips I posted - the ones where Brian is wearing the Harley shirt. I suppose it is on one of their dvds?

It's the end of Beneath the Planet of the Apes.

Thanks. Now, are you one of the people who bought some of those cds?

That does not surprise me.

Well - we have a politics thread for this sort of thing, but at that press conference a while back, they said that he was the real deal. So I guess they look at him and see hope for the future.

You should be original though - make something new.

Wilcoworld Tour dates Page Plus - there is already a thread down below this one were you can find discussion about all of these shows.

You should put that on a T-Shirt.
