Old School Friday: Outside My Box

Written By MrsGrapevine at 09:25 in Old School Friday

The only thing I can think of is country. Although, I like a few of the pop hits that come through, and even though I live in Texas, I must admit, I am not a big country fan. Well, today I get to do something that’s so not like me, and I have chosen to showcase country music. Now I did not go all the way outside the box, I stayed closed to the edge to show a different side of me.

This first song is by the Dixie Chicks, and I chose them because they stood up for what the believed despite the cost. I would have just apologized instead of losing all my paper, but I guess dignity is a virtue. When they came back to the scene after the “Bush Gate” they wrote this song, which earned them several awards…The words are so powerful…

Since we are doing country music, we may as well throw in some Kenny Rogers in the mix. My mama loved her some Kenny, and I never understood until I heard this collaboration with Kenny Rogers & Lionel Richie. Boy that man can sing. When I was young I use to get him and Michael McDonald mixed up…
