Mike Dunbar, I understand the sarcasm, but in each case you beg the question. Williams, Rodgers, Nelson, Jennings and the Carter Family all played a style of music generally recognized as country music. In fact, Nelson and Jennings bucked the commercial Nashville sound of the '60s, a sound which eventually evolved into today's corporate country music.

Nobody is saying that the mass marketers of popular music can't put out anything they want or call it anything they want. But the rest of us don't have to buy their music or the marketing hokum they use to maximize their profits.

I'll still take that Willie Nelson song, thank you.
