Remember When: A Depressing Parody Lyric

 

 "Remember When"
(A depressing parody of Alan Jackson's "Remember When")

Remember when songs were sung with words so true
and steel guitars and fiddles were still cool
You could hurt with Patsy Cline
Thumb a ride with Charley Pride
Remember when

Remember when they called the cows
or honky tonked
Broke our hearts, closed the bars, living hard
Waylon and Merle, trains and spurs
Texas boys, Kentucky girls
Remember when

Remember when old ones died and new came on
The sound was changed, modernized, rearranged
But even though some shined like stars
They still had country heart
Remember when

Remember when the lure of fame and greed
made the music
Chase the trend of the week
Big pickup trucks, bass and lust
Stole the soul and broke our trust
Remember when

Remember when George Strait was always on
And there was still twang in country songs
But where we are,
From where we've been
Too far to go back again
Remember when

Remember when we knew it'd be okay
And the cycle would turn back someday
But that's all past, pour a glass
Put on some Johnny Cash
And just remember when

Mississippi Flag Ideas: Country Music Edition

There's been a lot of talk in the news recently about getting rid of all forms and fashions of the Confederate flag on the government property and regalia of several southern states. In fact, FTM's home state of Mississippi still has that flag as a portion of its very state flag. On Twitter, many have been presenting serious and humorous options for changing MS's flag. Here are a few (non-serious) alternative designs for Mississippi's state flag, based on the country music stars from the state. Randy Houser doesn't get one.
