Whine Whine Twang Twang

An open letter to the CEO,COO and non-Nashvillian board members of the Nashville Predators.
First of all, let me make perfectly clear that I adore the team. In fact I would bake cookies any day for Pekka Rinne. Most everyone on the team is absolutely awesome! The coaching staff? Well? Well, the are ok, also. But-- there is something that bothers me a lot that I need to GET OFF MY CHEST. It's the constant pushing of Country Music that the organization seems to be doing. As a 71 year old native, I can assure you that not everyone enjoys listening to or watching Cotton-Eyed Joe being performed by the Deliverance Gang on the jumbotron! For years, Nashvillians of my generation pretended Country Music did not exist or just wished it would go away. Unfortunately, money was more powerful and the Hillbilly pushers won. Now Hillbilly CRAP is on every block of lower Broad. It is a shame the Predators' Organization does not realize what an embarrassment this is for many. People far and wide poke fun at us and believe the people of Nashville are all Redneck Hillbillies. When in reality most of the talent originating in Nashville goes far beyond Country Music.
Just take a look around the city at all the museums, private galleries, opera, ballet,the symphony and many many other things Nashville has to offer. Then please cut out some of the Whine Whine Twang Twang and let the rest of the Hockey World know what we are really all about.
By the way, before all of the WWTT Nashville was called the Athens of the South.
