The Ring of Fire Times Two

Political correctness is going to kill us all! With that said, where do you start this week with all the emotions?

I stood outside Johnny Cash's old house in Hendersonville and watched it burn to the ground. The smell, watching people cry, it was so sad.

Chet Flippo with CMT put forth an idea that Nashville should rename its airport The Johnny Cash-Nashville International Airport. I'm all for it. I doubt it would happen but how nice would that be? Johnny was a rebel and the biggest start in Nashville in the last 50 years.

Barry Gibb at this point is not saying what his plans are for the charred house. I vote if you can afford it and I'm sure you can, Build it back just like it was!

From Johnny to Don Imus' execution... The old geezer was a mean old man and I can still remember copying his bits as a young DJ in the early 1970's. I still have the RCA albums 1200 Hamburgers To Go and that second one about Holyland and the Reverend Dr. Bill Sol Hargis. I can still recite a few of those bits... Saw him do stand up one night in NYC. I was a fan. One of his engineers at WNBC, Bobby Massell let me do an aircheck one late Sunday night at WNBC in a production room. Wow -- I still have it -- sooooooooo cool. 66 W-----------NNNNNNNNNNNN BC.

Imus was executed by a mob. Lenny Bruce is turning over in his grave.

I must have missed the memo that came out that elected Al Sharpton the moral leader of our country. I hope this will, in the long run, begin a debate to get rid of the kind of language Imus and the rappers use. Maybe it was like an NBA player running up in the stands and beating the crap out of a fan. They would can the guy no matter how good he was and if he was kin to Mother Teresa. Thus was the case here. Perry Mason would have problems defending Imus with his veryyyyyy long track record for improper speech. STILL.....he was too hot for weak sister NBC and CBS.

XM and Sirius won't touch him since they are trying to merge and they don't need that kind of heat right now at the FCC.

Imus... Do an INTERNET only, pay to listen. You might just be surprised who might and how many might listen. You have the cash to do it yourself. That would be interesting wouldn't it?

Sara Evan's crazy divorce is getting loud again, with the hubby and nanny filing lawsuits. What is the truth? Same with the Wynonna husband story. What happened with that?

Kenny Chesney called delicious by the reviewer from the Omaha newspaper. Kenny bringing Joe Walsh along this year. It will be another smash.

Tim sold 177,000 CDs this past week... Good week... and the tour will heat the CD stores up once that gets going.

The CMT awards are this week, and we will see if the folks have award showosis. I sort of do. Will fans watch Dancing with the Stars or first run of CMT's. Idol is a Tuesday-Wednesday show so whewwwwwww... Billy Ray on Dancing has been interesting.

To err is human to forgive is divine. What ever happened to that? Political correctness is going to kill us all... Don't react to that... THINK. This is not about the I-Man. This in a broader sense is about screening at the airport, police stops, border checks, free speech, immigration, and a lot more. The world according to Oprah.

Opie and Anthony, Ludacris, Snoop, Eminem, Jerry Falwell, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity. Can this get anymore complicated?

Like in the days of the Romans and the gladiators. Thumbs down feed him to the lions.
