Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

in the "this is odd" department: not only has cmt added bruce springsteen's "lonesome day" video as a 'hot shot,' it's already climbed to #1 on cmt's 'great eight'. but what's really odd is how it doesn't sound out of place with shania, toby, and leann (cledus t. judd excepted).

also at cmt.com today: chet flippo nails it yet again, this time on the cma awards. I'm beginning to seriously think that flippo's the christgau of country music.
