It Must Be Admitted That Nashville Knows how to Be Attractive

When I stumbled across this blog entry entitled "Nashville knows how to be attractive," I was immediately intrigued. But when I read the opening paragraph, I thought, eureka!

If Los Angeles is the city of Chicago that rock and blues, when you think about Nashville is the country music to come immediately to mind. And why not? Self 'World Capital of Country Music', Nashville is the crucible in its charm a little 'home.

I can't count how many times I've said that. Or moreover, just how many times I've tried to convince people that Nashville is the crucible in its charm a little 'home. But that's not all. Read on:

Banners and posters announcing the new star and its disc as some of the honors college yearbooks, and streets bear the names of country legends like Roy Acuff and Chet Atkins. The City of Music (as fans like to call it) has caught the attention of even some non-country singers - from Joan Baez to Jello Biafra - even if their comments were not always favorable. And yet, despite being a city that has based its reputation on a sound that is a trademark, it must be admitted that Nashville knows how to be attractive.

Yeah! Face!

This writing style is the perfect way to review local bands:
"Music City Star for expensive haircuts, with the bulbous family sex-watchers." (Kings of Leon)
"The old punk rock for new is Springwater and the "Fuck You" behind cheap cocaine high school." (Be Your Own Pet)

I usually only call them "Lampchop" when I'm making fun of them, but I guess it has bled over.

If you click on the link that says "Nashville Life" on that blog, you can find an even more confusing article(more like an essay) about Robert Altman containing such words as 'diaskedastikoteron' and 'kalpazei'. Anybody know what language this is supposed to be?
