Demolitions experts have already begun preparations to bring down the 130 year old structure, with dozers, excavators, and haulers to follow, leaving not a single brick in place. “It will be an entirely new edifice,” said Cransford. “The age and, let’s face it, ‘general air of twang and sawdust’ are not conducive to our contemporary and fashionable project. We’re starting over from the ground up, to reference a Dan + Shay masterpiece.”
The Ryman, which was the home of the Grand Ole Opry from 1943-1974, has continued to host concerts and gatherings through the years, holding on to its honored place in country music fans’ hearts. “Dan + Shay’s Tequila Ballroom will certainly give a nod to the past; we plan to have a plaque dedicated to the history of the Ryman in the 2nd floor hallway to the restroom.” said Cransford. “We feel it very important to acknowledge our roots, yet reach for the sky at the same time.”
Another nearby country music mecca, Ernest Tubb Record Shop, was also sold recently, with plans to turn the spot into a selfie mural and kombucha bar or some shit.

If this is true, it’s a disgrace. It’s sad to see how modern so-called country music is destroying the foundation that built it. This a historic place and should be treated as such. Make it a National landmark.
ReplyDeleteUhhh, the page is called "Farce the Music." They literally are using the hashtag Fakenews and Satire.
DeleteThe start of the death of downtown Nashville.....
ReplyDeleteGlad to see Nashville moving forward! Country music has always embraced the "now and the new". What's to gain by looking 5 years in the past, let alone 130. Not sure what took Nashville so long, but happy to see Nashville to catch up with the rest of the country music world.
ReplyDeleteIt says fake news twice. It says satire twice. I don't know what else to do for y'all.
ReplyDeleteThese people are evil pricks if this is true.
