To me it's all roots music, and there ain't nothin' wrong in my book with mixing the roots around - in fact, I think it's about as exciting as it gets for my tastes. But then, I'm the guy who claims that punk (the real stuff - not the MTV stuff) is the new folk.

So long as nobody's telling anyone that they can't play old-fashioned country music anymore, I don't see a problem.

Besides, if people are tuning into the Country Music Awards to see traditional music, they're looking in the wrong place.
