Opryland



So, we took Grandma to the Grand Old Opry tonight and had a good time (once we braved the traffic in). I would say the average age of the crowd was 55, but there were young folks there too. The show was a smart mix of oldies and contemporary by has-beens and wannabes. Overall, it was entertaining, and the live radio broadcast of it provided a nice atmosphere. My favorite parts were the commercials for Martha White corn meal, Tennessee Pride Sausage, Goo Goo clusters, etc. Some of the music was good too. The only really bad song was the closer by Jim Ed Brown about Bigfoot and Santa Claus. It was embarrassingly lame. I could take all of the Jesusland songs, but Bigfoot has got to go. Still, if you're in Nashville anytime ya gotta go check it out at least once.
