This is the true Moral Character of our youth, he just the night before at an awards presentation said that he owed ALL HIS FAME & FORTUNE to his Lovely wife and two wonderful Daughters and don't know what he would do without them in his life.


Next evening before a concert he was caught red-handed with this ? and then she's stupid enough to marry such a guy, knowing full well that he cant be trusted because She was the one he was fooling around with while he was MARRIED!!! :-laf

Tell me the Finger shouldn't be pointed at this group of peoples direction :-laf

Apparently, Ga Ga can even stir up the old farts

Come on BIG, you act like "our generation" is the first to do such a thing Cheating has been rampant since celebrity was a word. A little Johnny Cash anybody? Or Hank Williams? Maybe some Randy Travis or Garth Brooks?

Its unfortunate that it happens but hardly something you can throw at "my generation" and expect to make it stick. I thought you of all people would know better.

 

[mwilson]

I have Rodney Carrington in my shuffle as well, have to careful to turn it down when one of his little diddys comes on. He can really sing, was very surprised the first time that I heard him do that.

Its not what he did with his JIMMY its that he so OUT RIGHT FULL OF xxxx if you follow music as much as I do (and I really don't you do) you would see how BS is as much a part of " HIS LIFE " as it is. Johnny, Waylon, and the boys never denied it, BUT THEY NEVER WORE IT AS A BADGE OF HONOR EITHER!! and I don't remember any songs that glorified the fact that most of THAT GENERATION was hooked on some kind of drug.

One of the reasons that Jason A is on my "S" list is that one time traveling around the Nashville area not long ago I ran into him and his group. He acted like he was owed something for who he thinks he is. One of the Drivers was wanting to fuel a bus (don't know if it was his or some of the crew's) I could have been a PXXXK and not moved to a pump easy for me hard for the driver to get into, But I did. When I fueled I went inside the Truck Stop to get some munchies and a drink. The Driver of the Bus seen me and said Thanks for moving so I could get in to fuel, I didn't really think about what or who he was until he pointed to the bus.

I said Hey no problem I know how it is with one of those things at times. Jason A came and asked if there was a problem with his chest and turkey neck all bowed up like he was something to be in AWE of, His driver said no just talking to a fan is all. I giggled and said I'm no fan of the SXXX he puts out, ( it wasn't the best of reasons I went to Nashville in the first place I was more than a little angry) where he has no lyrics and says "Burn it Down" something like 15 times in a row to fill up bar space and time on the CD.

He acted like he was going to get up in my face about my opinion of the XXXX he sings (and for the most part others of HIS GENERATION) He made a comment about how tuff he was, by then there is ALWAYS!!! 50 truck drivers around looking to see a good Rambo Going Down. I laughed and told him I will try to remain terrified until YOU!! try it and not 2 or 3 of your bodyguards AH

I went to the can and headed out to my Dodge to leave when I got to my truck there was a Ball Cap & CD on under the windshield wiper (it was his) I took it and as I put both of them in the trash, as not to LITTER!! the truck stop, he seen what I was doing and got ****** enough to yell something out the window. Got on the road and later passed the bus and his crew when myself and other drivers were talking on the CB. I don't know if he had one or if he even really cares but its just not me that thinks his Music Sucks and HIM AS A PERSON!!

At least the driver of the bus was cool he gave me the OK lights when I passed him & I returned with the flash of the tail-lights when I made the lane change.


Cheating is not good and either is BS about the serious parts of life JR. Young people for whatever reason look up to these people and that's not showing them a very good way to live. I don't know for a fact because I've never had fame, but I believe along with fame comes a responsibility that YOUR GENERATION haven't found yet, at least not many. TO LIVE A CLEAN LIFE AS A EXAMPLE

This may be hard to believe coming from an EX addict & one of, if not the BIGGEST A holes in the world, but not a day goes by that I don't try to do something nice for the Family that I love & do something for someone else that MIGHT make them think that the World isn't all bad after all.

Its really sad that when I do something as simple as open the door for someone that they have a look of " I wonder why he did that" on their face.

A couple of beers and a shot or two of JD and Rodney's songs come flowing out of my lungs!! I almost cried when his TV show was canceled.

The difference between MY generation and YOUR generation is the depth of social media. Previous generations partied and did whatever the hell they wanted without the eye of the world wide web shoved up their azz every time they farted or sneezed. I'm not sticking up for Aldean or anybody else, but dont act like previous generations are any less guilty. I dont recall anybody from MY generation getting busted at the border with a trunk full of speed, given parole, and then allowed to play at prisons and schools where he was idolized with his girlfriend at his side while his wife and children were waiting for him to come home. And yes, he did make a song or two about it. For the record, I am very much a fan of Johnny Cash's music, not his choices or lifestyle. That is the way it should be.

Nothing different than what's been going on for decades whether you admit it or not.

Johnny Cash was only doing research for his songs

Although it did occur in the 50s and 60s, it is a lot more pervasive now than it was then. In fact, it is celebrated. For example. I only know taylor swift because of news stories about her latest boy friends. But that is what she sings about. Even Michael J Fox told her to stay away from her son. The celebrities who "roamed" in the 50s and 60s were mostly known by the public as "roamers", and they were mostly looked down upon for that part of their lives. But today it is so pervasive it is almost expected and, in some cases, admired. I think a lot of it is just hype though. The papperatzi takes a picture of something that is probably innocent, and make it into something that isnt.

Exactly today its like they have to prove they are a BAD BOY!! a Justin Bieber syndrome if you will, I'm tuff look at my tats that will prove it to you. Same with some of the singers in TODAYS world, I have to wonder how much the precisely placed dirt and sweat band on their cowboy hats cost them. I don't think that they are there from some hard earned work that they did? They are about as much a country person as I am a Business exec when I dress up in a suit and tie

I think that Johnny started to talk and sing about his drug problem after he went into prison (not sure of the time line) sort of an early public service announcement if you will, and ya I think that when he sang about his wrong doings that got him tossed in jail that the captive audience that were there for the same reason were pretty happy about his songs.

I think that I have turned in to my Father, who use to say looking at some of the younger generation and said. " That's what is going to be running the country when I get old " I look at the young people of today and think about My long hair when I went to school (braided to the waist) I was a real Bad XXX wearing jeans and a white T-shirt. I look at TODAYS young folks and think that at least I was Clean!! my long hair was the same color, I didn't have enough iron pins and earrings to start a junk yard for scrap metal.

Ya want to start another rant? Eric Church Lots of things about this WANT-TO-BE to let out of the bag, besides his inability to SING. He can talk a song to death but to put words in a melodic verse, HE CANT DO IT, cowboy rap!! its NOT SINGING

Did a little research on the SO CALLED smuggling of Speed at the border, He was given parole because he wasn't trafficking speed it was prescription meds, which is a Misdemeanor NOT a felony so there was no time in Prison. But guess that part was missed?

Not trying to change ANYONES mind because I really don't care to do that. Just going back to the jest of this post is that Most of the Country singers today AREN'T

 

[JR]

He got busted smuggling over 1000 capsules across the border...that goes a little beyond prescription meds. I never claimed he was in trafficking it, it was all for him because he was addicted to speed.

I dont really have leg to stand on because that time frame was well before my time, but again I feel that social media ignorantly portrays most of what we see today that wasn't seen 50 years ago. My dad was the youngest of 6 brothers and while he was too young to go to Vietnam, I had 2 uncles that did. Coincidentally, they were also the 2 of the 6 that had alcohol and drug problems for many years after. One of them ended up disabled after a multi day stint on cocaine and liquor that ended in a violent car wreck. He still deals with addiction to this day. They have both talked to me about addiction over the years (as if seeing them in their state wasn't enough to deter me) and none of them have ever blamed being tramautized as their source of addiction. Interestingly enough, it was being in the military where they all formed their habits. It was their decision and to their credit they have taken responsibility rather than point the finger at the government or going to war but the point is this. This kind of behavior was not permitted but not necessarily frowned on either. No way would it be tolerated in today's military. What does that say about the previous generation? Anything? How bout the hippie movement? Sex drugs and rock and roll was OK then, but because social media puts the same stuff on blast for the world to see its not OK now and reflects on the generation at hand? Does it really make what they do worse just because you can see it now? Are the disfunctions of todays society the fault of the newest generation or is it the fault of the generation in office passing the laws we have to abide by and raising their families to such "low standards"?

I know my opinion isn't of much value so I won't give it, not to mention I'm not one to generally argue about such things and probably would have never even commented if not for the whole " my generation" generalization. Just some ramblings from some dumb kid on the apparently "wrong" side of the generational canyon

That's not exactly the way I absorbed it, but if that's truly your intentions, then I agree. (With a few individual exceptions )

Youve seen too many movies. The actual drug usage in vietnam was not any more than that back here in the world. And, btw, not everyone did drugs. Most did not.

I landed in vietnam in jan of 1968. I was in heavy combat for 13 months. I never did drugs. They were not pervasive at least in my unit. It was frowned upon. Everyone wanted to survive, and doing drugs was not a way to do that. (and your buddy wanted you straight also so that he would survive. Where you would mostly see drugs was with non combat folks who were bored to tears and had nothing else to do.

The term drugs sex and rock and roll was invented. Most people in the US were not hippies, and most did not do drugs. That is a myth.

But I agree with you comment about social media.

 

[JR]

LOL, I dont even have TV most of the year, although we do keep the internet on

I mean no disrespect to you in saying this but Ive got two examples in my family that contradict your statement

 

[Tractorat]

More than likely they would have done the same thing if they had stayed home in college. I didnt say nobody did drugs in vietnam, I said it wasnt as pervasive as you think. Now, after most of the fighting was over (probably late 1970) things changed somewhat.
