Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
@Whiny war hero and Anglrdr: You're both too stupid to realize that she was responding to your insults. The way you both make up crap out of thin air you should be working for Obama at the White House or for Holder at Justice. Sleazy liars, both of you.
@Donna Locke: Don't listen to them sweetie, everybody likes you.
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
Face it Donna, nobody likes you. Guess we are all phonies considering we chafe at your constant biographs that boggle the realm of reality. Look, you wanna get mean, wear a cup, cause you'll get it back in spades. You wanna call someone a stalker because they reply to your insults, go ahead, have a party. A party of ONE!

>>Climate change is already ruining everything.<<
You can thank China for anything remotely close to "climate change". I guess that late snowstorm in Denver was also global warming? (huge eye roll here)
Re: “Charter School Crowd and MNPS Do Different Math on Student Attrition”
Just losing the students isn't the only issue. The fact that schools like KIPP do NOT replace the students who leave with new students could allow them to manipulate the student body in a way that district schools, with students moving in and out throughout the year, could not. The question is whether the exodus of struggling students, not replaced, is what creates a high scoring, disciplined student body, and whether that is accomplished by charter schools pushing students out, rather than by them working wonders with a random assortment of kids.
Re: “Charter School Crowd and MNPS Do Different Math on Student Attrition”
And still, the question raised in the WSMV story remains...are the students moving or being moved out of the charter schools and back into the district schools right before TCAP testing and, if so, why?

@Kosh III: Blame the Aral Sea on big government because that's who interfered and caused it to dry up. Even so, if it didn't have an outlet it would have eventually became too salty to support life. You still wear shoes and clothes made by corporations. Watch TV at all? Listen to the radio? You can't get away from supporting corporations. Wear cotton? Then you support The Old South and slavery. (satire) Didn't bother to look at the link did you? Neither did that lying ass who commented at 2:27 PM.
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
How could anyone possibly accuse donna of bigotry? She traded recipes with a hispanic woman one time. Actually had her in her house for tea. Fool proof indemnity.
Re: “My Maser Challenge to The Tennessean”
The main damage to his credibility is that the Tennessean printed it.
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
Cite. Be specific now.
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
AnglRdr is the wind beneath my wings. "...Did you ever know that you're my hero?"
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
Yes, there is, Donna, which is why your naked bigotry always comes as such a shock. Most reconstructed racists know to keep their bigotry on the downlow, but you? You're just loud and proud with it.
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
There's a record here, AnglRdr.
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
Oh Donna, forgive me! I completely forgot my place! Please pardon me as I curtsy and kiss your ring.
In your dreams. You've hate me since the first time I came here and dared challenged you on anything. You loathe being called out, and you cannot stand the thought that someone out there actually knows more about something than you do.
You don't impress me; you certainly don't intimidate me. You're nothing to me but a cranky old misanthrope who hates anybody of a darker skin tone than you, who I imagine enjoys getting a bit tipsy at the monthly Daughters of the Confederacy luncheons.
Please, don't flatter yourself that *I'm* the lucky one here.
Re: “Metro Officials on Germantown Demolition Site: Nothing to See Here”
Damn you, Hale, you violated the Garrigan Protocol!
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
You're lucky I even answered you, AnglRdr, given your constant insults. I haven't been bothering. Seems wise, though the more you phony "liberals" talk and write, the more revealing you are. Hasn't failed yet.
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
Yeah, it really sounds like you haven't, though, because your claim has no relation to the show at all. But whatevs.
And I'm sure your 60+ year old second hand experience really taught you something, huh, you old grump.
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
AnglRdr, I don't watch much TV, but I've seen the show. I'm not in the habit of commenting on things I know nothing about. That's YOUR hobby.
I listen to a country station out of Lawrenceburg (I don't live there) for brief periods just about every day, not because of the music -- though they play a lot of old stuff I like -- but because of the on-air personalities. They remind me of people I grew up with. I don't listen to much new country, just enough to know what's been thrown out. I prefer mixes of other kinds of music. I make my own mixes that I listen to while I work.
Two members of my immediate family worked in radio. My closest male friend, other than my husband, worked in the record industry for many years. My mother was a songwriter who got ripped off in Nashville in the Fifties. We know a thing or two.
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
Your complaint still has nothing to do with the show, though, Donna, for which you expressed some pretty strong animosity. The "phoniness" you're railing about doesn't actually exist on the show (I suspect you've never actually watched it).
Country music (and popular music of all genres for that matter) has always had mediocre artists rising to the top. The good thing is is that there are plenty of places other than radio to get your music fix. I recommend satellite radio and local independent record stores.
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
464: No, I wasn't thinking of them. Well, maybe Kid Rock. I love Darius Rucker's version of "Wagon Wheel," and Old Crow has performed with him on it. Darius is the real thing. My thoughts on the rock/pop hijacking of country go back a number of years. The phoniness of many of the "artists" has become so accepted that in some ways, this TV show is a perfect reflection. That isn't to say the definition of what's country can't broaden. As I said, Alan Jackson put it in song quite awhile ago.
I'd like to see singers and bands trying to make it with great songs get the same kind of shot some others are getting with mediocre material, which is happening because of the record companies' manipulations of airplay. I'm glad Tennessean music writer Peter Cooper has had the guts to call out this mediocrity and downright silliness in many of today's country songs. Peter just won an award, by the way.
For those just tuning in, I have a couple of stalkers here who follow me around on this blog and foam at the mouth because they are outraged they can't control what I do here. They are, of course, men.
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
I just want to plug checking the "subscribe to this thread" box. That is how I learned that "honestjohn" is really also xray.
Sock puppetry--it's fun!
