Chet Flippo at CMT’s Nashville Skyline takes to task “magazine writers, bloggers and professors” who dare to broadly or narrowly define what “Real Country Music” is. Since I am one of these offenders that have tilted at the country music bona fides windmills on many occasions, hell it’s threason this blog exists at all, I have come to define real country music in the way that Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart was asked to define porn – “I know it when I see it.”

Man, Chet Flippo used to be a hero of mine. But then again so was Hank Jr.
I agreed with just about everything in that Newsweek article, and very little of what Chet had to say.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that felt the laser pointer tickling my forehead when he started attacking people who try to define “real country music.”
