Then who would be better candidates? Not necessarily endorsing George for this role, but curious to see who you think would be better. And no cop outs of "you can't name just one"!

George Strait can very definitely lay as equal a claim as any of those dudes. If anything, more so, because he's beaten Nashville at their own game, on his terms, regularly, and like a drum. In fact, I wish more Texas musicians would learn from George how to manage the Trashville machine...it might run some of that other garbage out of there.

An official dead music ambassador would be a tougher pick.

Fair point Scott...But shouldn't some of the fun of being a Texas Music Ambassador be telling Nashville where they can stick their Albert Haynesworth lovin' attitude where the sun don't shine?

That's the beauty of George to me...he does exactly that, but in such a sweet way that they keep begging for more, heh heh.
Official Dead Ambassador = SRV.
