I love Michelle Shocked, too, but she doesn't seem to have any videos on youtube anymore 
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Re: Country music
We should plan a Ratz meet around a Lucinda concert!
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Re: Country music
I love country music. But this is more like it....
I saw this young chick last summer, she is fabulous live!

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb_X8rcf0aU&ob=av2e[/youtube]
I'm going to see this group August 19th as a birthday present from my favorite sis! Can't wait!!
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eM213aMKTHg&ob=av2n[/youtube]
Saw this guy live also, totally awesome!
Country can even be comedic! He's actually got quite a few funny songs. And a bit of useless info: the chick in the vid is his wife.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwRrKaq0 ... re=related[/youtube]
Last but not least, the song hubby and I danced to at our wedding. She's one hell of a bluegrass singer too!

Re: Country music
I wish there were a better Youtube version of Emmylou singing this with Mark Knopfler-- the audio sort of sucks on the ones I found. I love them individually, but they're great together.
Anyway, here's one of my faves:

And another great tune from the same album:

Re: Country music
I can't find a good Youtube of this, but I just love this:
James McMurtry wrote: Childish Things
Aunt Clara kept her Bible Right next to the phone in case she needed a quote
While she talked to someone
In my memory she smiles While the blessing is said
And visions of freeze tag dance in my head
She says I’ll grow up bigIf I eat all my roast
I’ll still believe in heaven
But I won’t believe in ghosts anymore
I’ll put away childish things
Every other weekend at the age of thirteen
With my fishing pole and my Field and Stream
Ridin’ back home on the Trailways bus
I looked out the window
‘Til I saw too much
And I called my parents by their own first names
I played in the alley
But I didn’t play the game anymore
I put away childish things
The wolves howl all night long
They won’t stop and they won’t go home
Beneath my window they run
Probably it’ll be alright
If I keep it all locked up tight And wait ‘til daylight comes
Now my boy goes like a house on fire
He’ll never burn out and he’ll never retire
And I remember when I used to think like that
When I was young and the world was flat
But I’m forty some years old now and man I don’t care
All I want now is just a comfortable chair
And to sell all my stock
And live on the coast
I don’t believe in heaven but I still believe in ghosts.
I put away childish things

Re: Country music
And another one by McMurtry. I think it captures something of the urban-rural divide in American culture.
[quote=James McMurtry]They broke into your car last night,
took the stereo
Now you say you don't know why
you even live there anymore
The garage man didn't see a thing,
so you guess it was an inside job
You made a reservation, a table for three
They said you'd have to wait,
somebody must have bribed the maitre'd
Boss got mad and he blamed it all on you
Food was bad and the deal fell through
(chorus)
Well out here in the middle
you can park it on the street
Step up to the counter;
you nearly always get a seat
Nobody steals. Nobody cheats
Wish you were here my love
Wish you here my love
We got tractor pulls and Red Man chew Corporate relo refugees that need love too
we ain't seen Elvis in a year or two
we got justification for wealth and greed~
Amber waves of grain and bathtub speed
We even got Starbucks
what else you need?
(chorus)
Out here in the middle
Where the center's on the right
And the ghost of William Jennings Bryan preaches every night
To save the lonely souls
in the dashboard lights
Wish you were here my love
Wish you were here my love
(chorus)
Out here in the middle
Where the buffalo roam
We're putting up towers for your cell phones
And we screen all applicants
With a fine tooth comb
Wish you were here my love
Wish you were here my love[/quote]

That right there's why I fall on the urban side of the divide.
I like the first set of lyrics there. Wouldn't mind giving it a listen, someday.
