It's the Oak Ridge Boys! I've got plenty of fond family Christmas memories involving Oak Ridge Boys tunes, but, — it's the Oak Ridge Boys, playing SXSW. Get a picture of it on your head.

I have spent my share of time inthe studio. I have found talent in all kinds of music and never understood why people can't get past "cool" to see talent. I don't own their records (prefer the Statlers in that genre) or listen to them with any frequency, but the longevity and quality of their career speaks for itself.

More proof that talent and longevity are less meaningful than ever in music. Eric – who cares about substance, the ORB’s just aren’t cool enough for SXSW.

I'm positive they're going to have MUCH to offer at the conference! Rock on Boys! The Oak Ridge Boys are one of the longest running, and most awarded vocal groups in history.

It's amazing what a makeover can accomplish these days. Look at a bigger picture, they are all still really ugly. But the questions remain, who cares about these guys anymore, and what are the clowns at SXSW smoking? It's got to be a postmodern ironic joke. That isn't funny.
