Very easy reason, Blair. If my experiences in DC are any indication, most northern cities will have only one major country station, so the market doesn't fragment among several stations. What would be interesting to see is the total share of all country stations in DFW versus one of the northern markets you cite.

On Dallas has 2 of the top 20 country radio stations in the U.S.

Yes Chad, they're (we're) all rednecks.

Regardless of whether the Stars are supporting Glitter financially by playing the song (fortunately it appears the answer is no),he song is so cliche by now. I'd much rather have a song that was more uniquely ours rather than just play the same song that every other professional and college team in the country plays. Well, except the NFL anymore, thankfully.

Hey, that's me in the background! My first video!

I hadn't really been exposed to The Killdares before they visited our offices, but I have to agree that they are incredible. I've already given "Any Given Element" several plays and it keeps getting better each time.

As the Beatles>Stones guy in the office, I have to agree with you on the assessment . . . and obviously I like the CD as well. This CD, the new one from Jayson Bales -- it's been a good week for new releases by local artists.

I agree wholeheartedly with Blair. I've given the CD a couple of listen-tos myself and it is easily one of the best CDs I've heard all year.

As I said above, it is a general impression I have of West as well as of a great number of members, R and D, of the Texas Legislature that I have formed from watching the Legislature from afar over the years.

Grampa, I just want to make clear that you're not claiming that Wynne is looking for Kinky to throw in the towel because he's buying into the claims being made that he is a racist.

Juliro, I would be careful about overstating the effect such ads, if they do run, would have on black-on-white relations in Dallas, as their resulting in violence seems an impossibility to me even in a worst-case scenario, but obviously I'll remain very interested to see if they do run in Dallas, and how Bell reacts as a result. If we're lucky, there will be no money to run the ads, or better yet, these ads may never even be recorded.

And Alan: Hey what can I say? You got me. If the establishment media believes that an insider like West wouldn't be a hack, then whom am I as a mere citizen to have an honest difference of opinion?

Personal opinion based on observing him over a number of years. Don't worry, Alan, this isn't any particular picking on West, as I'm pretty liberal when it comes to members of the Texas Legislature whom I'll call that name. :)
