What Decade Had the Best Music? [POLL]

Kaleb — Wed, 22 May 2013 00:45:01 +0000

On Sunday night, I had a moment where I actually thought I was an old man. As I sat watching the Billboard Music Awards, I remember mumbling multiple old man phrases to myself. Things like, "This music is garbage," "Does anyone really like this?" and "They're clearly lip syncing their performance."

Quickly after the Billboard Music Awards ended, I came to the conclusion that I'm not an old man, new music just really is that bad. I ended up having a heated argument with a few people about what generation had the best music. I made a case for the '60s, but I want you to tell me which decade had the best music.

It was the wildest show behind bars, and George Strait was in the thick of it for one year in the early '80s. He wasn't the only one. Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Tom T. Hall … they all did time behind the walls of the Huntsville Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Remember When Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert Fell in Love Onstage?

Billy Dukes — Tue, 14 May 2013 20:30:33 +0000

Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert's anniversary is May 14, but knowing what we know now, another date is just as important. In 2005 fans saw a dopey grin on Shelton's face that was much more than one singer admiring another in song. As Lambert sang her portion of 'You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma' during the CMT '100 Greatest Duets' concert, the 'Honey Bee' star fell hard.

It's National Teacher's Day: Who Was Your Favorite Teacher? [SURVEY]

Behka — Tue, 07 May 2013 19:50:02 +0000

Kids, today is National Teacher's Day. I think that we all appreciate teachers in general, but I thought we might get a little more specific here.

I thought I'd share some memories of teachers I've had and worked with, and you could tell me a little about yours. I think everyone had one of those teachers when they were a kid, that one that was your favorite. Maybe they were funny, maybe they were kind, maybe they were just whatever you needed at the time.
