IMO country died long before George Jones did. Today's country is more like "rural pop.":)
Agreed cheesy there is left of country would be Garth brooks and George straight ave they aren't even true country not like Johnny cash or hank Williams our Kenny Rogers

Good Country ended when talentless pop wannabes cut C&W records after being unable to get a record deal anywhere else.
Shania Twain bought herself a career with Mutt Lang's rock money.

How can I change my user name? When I signed up it asked for name, so I put my full name, and if I change it will it interfere with my contest entry?

Although, I don't think it will, it would be better to contact someone in ECF Administration/Moderator like @Robino1 or @classwife to get a more direct answer . . .

AND - As for changing "Your" ECF User Name/"Handle" Ya' might want to check this thread:

No emails of shipping notice for me either.
I do not remember when you, Bella and the others won but I think/recall it was later than mine so this may have some role. I am sure they are doing this in the order in which they were "received".:D

But everyone can assume that yours is soon to come!:thumb:

Some of the Texas/Red Dirt stuff is pretty good. It's more Outlaw country than traditional, but good none the less. Way better than Nashville stuff.

The internet killed The music industry.
It brought us free access to a lot of really crappy music, that we have to wade through to find the good stuff.

Back in the day we had systems and checks in place that filtered out alot of the pure crap.
Musicians had to be good enough to fill venues, which brought record company reps who signed them and gave them cash to focus on making music.
That's all gone now. They can't recoup the cash on "record" sales.

The multi million dollar record deals that made artists mega rich are long gone.

I tend to dissagree with that. Back then, you only got to hear what the record labels thought you should listen to. Old Ferlin Huskey was a good example of that. His biggest hit ever, he was told he would never be allowed to record. He snuck it in on the B side and "on the wings of a dove" put him on the map. Now, you search for what you like. Screw what The labels tell you to listen to. Also, the Labels are so greedy now that they keep artists from seeing a 1/10th of the money they make. Screw the talent, keep the investors happy.

I find music I like online, then buy it. And I know I'm not the only one. Without the internet, they wouldn't make near the money they do now. Labels only release the worst stuff an artist has most of the time so I would write them off. YouTube lets me see that they do have decent stuff, so I buy. The Internet is saving the music industry, not killing it. Well, maybe they are killing the big labels that only put trash on the radio, but who cares about them? Not me. Support artists, not labels and investors.

Old Ferlin husky had a record deal.

After the 60's there was an era when musicians who dealt with record companies got paid. Very very very well.

Thank Led Zepplin for the private jets and lavish rockstar lifestyles.
They were the first of many.
Their manager was an ex gangster who cut the deals that laid the groundwork for all the major acts getting mega rich.
Take a look at acts like Van Halen, jayZ, Madonna, snoop dog, pink Floyd.
Those acts made hundreds of millions of dollars.
You will not see any of these new acts ever reach that level of financial success. The money isnt there anymore.

Hey im dong pretty good i think. I make it a few days in a row or longer then a day like yesterday i bring my juice home and its just pure menthol and unvapable. I took it back today and they couldnt even vape it..they also couldnt get the recipe right for a 50ml bottle. Five tries and its still has too much menthol in it. Im trying to weather it out..but not having the right adv all day isnt kewl. IVe gotten four other bottles from them that were awesome. They make it to order. I have definitely saved money i would have gone thru two cartons instead of 4 packs this month.

It definately changes, your tastes for juices, in the first couple months of vaping! I begin with a menthol tobacco juice and down the road added something sweet to it, then the tob became less and less but the menthol still hung in there (as my taste buds changed!) - so, be aware that you're changing too - when finding things unpleasant. Keep on the good side, tho, don't look back (grin).

And he was a small time nobody until he risked his job to put out a song he believed in. After that, he was popular enough to have his own say.

Well connected gangsters as managers tend to make sure you get paid. If the executives at your label fear death and dismemberment, they won't screw you. Now, 95% of the money they make goes to the label and their manager, not the artist. When artists pack a venue with 100,000 people, at $100 a pop, they don't make squat. The label makes bank, not the performer. It has nothing to do with the Internet, but everything to do with greedy people running the show. Shut down big labels and start over with the talent making the money and you would see them swimming in cash again. Simple as that. Labels used to not make 95% of the money and artist get scraps. They were pretty even. Now all that matters is keeping the investors happy and bending the artists over.
