I know I’m going to catch hell for this one but it must be said.
There are way too many old farts on TV that should retire.
Example: This week in Agribusiness on RFDTV , with Orion Samuelsson and Max Armstrong, should have hung it up years ago, guess the pension plan at WGN/Chicago Trib wasn’t enough. But their age is showing. I say boys go back to tricking out tractors, sit on your porch and allow new blood to flow in.
Larry Black’s Country Diner is another. Larry Black the official Ambassador to Tennessee, is a good as a celeb, but his show has aged. No new blood on either of the shows on that network. Imagine if Larry brought Emma on , the entire bunch would look pale in comparison. Thing is Larry wants to prolong careers that have seen better years.
Then there are those celebrities that are timeless that do not get air play or honor.
Like Larry’s other show, on RFDTV, not once do you see or have you heard any music from Waylon on there. In fact as I get it, Larry never invited Waylon on the show. Nor has Larry invited Waylon’s son Shooter. Granted Waylon is part of the OutLaw Country Music wave that the Nashville elite was for, but hey , Willie Nelson, Bobby Bare, Kris and heck even Johnny Cash was part of that OutLaw movement, and yet guaranteed if all were living today, Larry still wouldn’t invite them on or play their music.
There’s many current country stars today that owe zillions to Waylon for the doors he opened.
And oh yes, Waylon not only played in Idaho and Utah , he lived here as well in his early career days. Waylon lived in both Twin Falls and Blackfoot, Idaho, as well as Tooele and Salt Lake City Utah. Historical facts that you might not know.
And yet , you’ll be hard pressed to find a local radio station other than HazzardAyre/KDXB playing his or his son Shooter’s music. Question becomes , Why? Has anyone else here heard of Ralph Emery? A legend both in country music, and radio. Yet outside of a limited show you see only one, of Ralph’s programs on RFDTV. I have an idea for them at RFDTV, can some of the old fart music shows like that polka crap, and run the series of Ralphs that ran on TNN?CMT the Nashville Now. You might gain more listeners and viewers. Oh yes more advertisers.
Maybe its time to get networks to retire, and be replaced with those with the resources to be modern and current, like oh I say, Confederate Steele TV?
Stay Tuned,
