from Jim Reeves of the Star-Telegram, Does the NHL have a mercy rule? Can we apply it now, please? Show a little compassion, guys. Let our gritty little Dallas Stars limp off to the golf course right now, before somebody really gets hurt. If you listened closely enough at the AAC last night, you could practically hear the ice beginning to melt. continued

Before the deluge of country music "hat acts" came on the scene, there was a brand of country crooner who brought a touch of class and sophistication to the genre. They sang what was called "countrypolitan" music — a blend of downhome caterwauling and uptown crooning.

He was managed by Col Tom Parker before Elvis. His typified the kind of country music I enjoyed. Great singers of his style, such as Ricky Van Shelton are no longer promoted in Nashville in lieu of a more HICK, nasal, sound. It's a shame.
