      <![CDATA[JJS, I think you have a bright future on Music Ros.<br><br>Grant, I am expecting Alan to discuss outlet malls and lite beers as they fit within the purview of contemporary country music, which, obviously, is a likely scenario. Just know that Mr. Scherstuhl genuinely loves and is intrigued by this music.

      <![CDATA[I've never heard "She's Country", but I'm guessing from your sample lyric that Aldean actually tries to pass off "all-nighter" and "South Carolina" as a rhyme.<br><br>For crissakes, you had time to think about it and that's the best you could come up with? Instead of "all-nighter", how's about:<br><br>"she was Bizarre like Jon Byn-uh"<br><br>"she was an Engvall here's-yer-sign-uh"<br><br>"a home run like Ralph Kine-uh"<br><br>"she was a Yankee malign-uh"<br><br>"I'm her trailer loan cosign-uh"<br><br>and of course,<br><br>"she had a moist, vice-like 'gina"
