My Theory on Kid Rock in Country Music

Thursday, January 23rd, 2003 by Fuzz

For years now, country stars have been switching their music slowly but surely to pop. If you need examples, please pick up any copy of any Shania, Faith Hill, Diamond Rio, Lonestar, or Garth Brooks CD. Remember the Chris Barnes thing?

Well now some pop/rock/rap stars are getting smart. Namely Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow. With the advent of “Picture,” Kid Rock comes on to the country music scene with a hit right out of the good-ole-days of country. The song is complete with a cheating husband, “fillin’ up on cocaine and whiskey,” and a spouse who’s had enough, and decides to cheat herself. The song really reminds me of Waylon and Jessie’s “Honky Tonk Angels.”

As for Sheryl Crow, not only is she found on Kid Rock’s new hit, but she also sings backup for the Dixie Chicks “Landslide.”

I don’t mind the onslaught of pop stars into country music, just as long as the country theme remains the same… but that’s just My Theory.

My theory on The Raiders versus the Buccaneers in Superbowl XXXVII

Monday, January 20th, 2003 by Fuzz

My Theory on The Raiders versus the Buccaneers in Superbowl XXXVII Look, it’s like this. You know how you had that one girlfriend in high school that you really liked, and then she broke up with you. Well this is pretty much the story of Jon Gruden going up against his old team January 29th in the Superbowl. Except in Jon’s case, he finds a younger, prettier girlfriend (Warren Sapp?) and takes his new girlfriend to the movies. While at the movies he runs into his old girlfriend, the one who dumped him, and rubs the new catch in her face. I know, Jon and the Bucs haven’t won yet, and it will be a pretty close game, but that’s just My Theory.
