Message:Happy ninety sixth birthday Melvin Kaminsky, better known as Mel Brooks! By far my favorite film maker so no one would be surprised that Blazing Saddles is my favorite movie. Here's hoping he breaks all records for longevity and actually becomes one of his skit characters.

Message:Ok, this is NOT good music I'm a-fixin' to link. It's trite, and ALL that. But to it's good........it's only two minutes. It's more funny (in this day and time) than anything - even to the point of being amazed such a record got put out there. I suspect most here aren't even aware of this - and that's probably a *good* thing. It's just an iconic representation of the kind of stuff that (rightly) gave a big chunk of country music a bad name. But there's also some kind of "earnestness" which shines through the triteness, as befits Loretta.
Link: Yes, there was/is a song of hers called "Fist City"

Message:Right! It *is* amazing, isn't it? That, and some other songs, were why she got kicked off (most) radio there for a while. In fact, I'm pretty sure I didn't hear that song at all until a few years ago, on a public radio sort of retrospective thing. (Not that I used to listen to "that kind" of country music anyway; on purpose, at least.)

Loretta Lynn was an honest woman who didn't know how to lie. I can recognize that.

Message:Hmmmm. Well, I was directly quoting a story, but can't recall the source. So I hope and assume you're not implying i was "lying" about it. Can't explain how that would have happened, other than a simple mistake by whoever. And how weird that that obscure song is one they'd feature.
