It ain't been worth going to, since Roy Acuff and Little Jimmy Dickens were spit roasting Minnie Pearl backstage
STFU.....Terrible mental picture there................now I'm going to have bad dreams.
I've got no knowledge about Minnie's proclivities, but the Grand Ol' Opry folks, in general, were wild types. My Dad was hanging with the Midwestern Hayride (WLW in Cincinnati) crowd back in the day. Folks came up from Nashville all the time for guest appearances. Dad said there were wild times.
I had the inspiration several years ago to resurrect the idea of Midwestern Hayride idea when I had an association with a fellow that owned a hillbilly bar and was drawing crowds from 3 states. He had some really good acts coming in, and it wouldn't have been all that hard to record the shows. Crickets. Nobody wanted it. That hillbilly bar is now a garage.
From what I understand, the Hee Haw reboot got shelved for lack of interest as well. Anyone hear anything about that?
