Curtis Ray Barclift commented on Gillian Turnbull's blog post 'No Thanks, Protest Music. I'll Dance.'
I have to come back to this article of yours because it truly bothers me. It's very condescending. The way you talk about "you cool folk" and you immediately establish that you're an "ethnomusicologist",…
Curtis Ray Barclift commented on Gillian Turnbull's blog post 'No Thanks, Protest Music. I'll Dance.'
The problem I've always had with people who just want to hear dance music is just that. That's all they have an interest in. I know that as an ethnomusicologist that you must be an exception. But most of the people that…
Curtis Ray Barclift replied to Terry Roland's discussion 'Who Are The Top Five Unsung Heroes of Americana Music?'
Okay, Terry mentions Yank Rachel and Tut Taylor and I see what he's getting at. So, let's say J.B.Hutto, Tony Rice, definitely Otis Taylor, Terry Allen, Jean Shepard, Gary P. Nunn, William Clarke, Johnny Guitar Watson,…
Curtis Ray Barclift replied to David Stephens's discussion 'What cover versions of popular or hit songs do you like better than the original?'
My favorite covers of all time, both by the Beatles. When you hear "Twist and Shout" do you think Isley Brothers? How about "Money"? Does Barrett Strong immediately come to mind? John Lennon owned…
Curtis Ray Barclift replied to Hal Bogerd's discussion 'Toby Keith and Hank Williams Jr.'
Uh-oh, I goofed, badly. Apparently, Toby Keith stated that he had no problem with gay marriage, with some reservations concerning the military. I made a hugely incorrect assumption about Mr. Keith without actually reading his…
Curtis Ray Barclift commented on Easy Ed's blog post 'occupy no depression...for what it's worth'
Thanks Ed, you may have been rambling but I'll ramble with you anytime. We've been told that our country has been brought to the brink by the abuses of Big Money and our leaders seem content to change very little. At least on…

Hi Curtis- Just wanted to let you know that I always enjoy reading your comments. I appreciate you being a part of the ND community. Thanks for taking the time. Kyla
Curtis Ray Barclift replied to Hal Bogerd's discussion 'Toby Keith and Hank Williams Jr.'
People do have the right to speak their minds, I'm hearing that a lot in my conservative little town. I'm also hearing the old "liberal bias" complaint that one would expect to hear, particularly with another glorious…
Curtis Ray Barclift commented on swt's blog post 'TERRELL'S TUNE-UP: Outlawing Nashville'
The problem with these Outlaw wannabes is that the fans of mainstream country really don't care that much about music in general and they'll buy this corporate created outlaw garbage, in both meanings of the word buy. You can fool…
Curtis Ray Barclift commented on Something Else! Reviews's blog post 'Sneak peek: Nick Lowe, “Check Out Time”'
Nick does Tom T. That sounds like a perfect match to me. I hope he does "I Miss a Lot of Trains".

It's a Big Old Go0fy World - John Prine

Curtis Ray Barclift commented on Mando Lines's blog post 'Robert Earl Keen: Ready For Confetti'
When the pols and the Supreme Court say that corporations are people too, they're talking about Toby Keith. Pay some more taxes Toby, you're lucky you live in a country that allows you to get away with barely disguised theft. …
Curtis Ray Barclift commented on Mando Lines's blog post 'Southern Independent, vol. 2'
Just to clarify, Mojo Nixon plays some decent music, but Mojo is more or less a shock jock. If he would just play music and not talk so much I'd be a lot happier. For example, I could use a lot less NASCAR talk.
Curtis Ray Barclift commented on Mando Lines's blog post 'Southern Independent, vol. 2'
Overall, I have to agree with Chris Sweeney, I used to love Cross Country on XM. I still love Elizabeth Cook's Apron Strings, except that she's no longer the East's morning drive time dj and I rarely hear her now. I…
Curtis Ray Barclift commented on Mando Lines's blog post 'Elizabeth Cook on David Letterman'
I just love Elizabeth Cook, and that goes for her husband Tim Carroll too. I've seen them twice in the last year, along with Bones Hillman (ex-Midnight Oil) on bass, and they are without a doubt the real deal. If you love her discs…
Curtis Ray Barclift commented on Mando Lines's blog post 'R.I.P. Fred Imus'
I'll miss him. I'd listen to Fred and friends on Saturday morning while I drove around doing errands and it was fun to hear. Creative grouches are most entertaining and Fred fit the bill perfectly. But he was on target a good…
