CMA Awards
Tonight is the Country Music Association award ceremony. Even though I don't listen to country and wouldn't pay for a ticket, I saw some very interesting people on their way down to the Gaylord Entertainment Center. I drive right Broadway (the main tourist street in Nashville) to get from campus to my apartment, and I enjoyed watching all the people head that way while I was sitting at the stoplight. Almost everyone had cameras, but it was the wardrobes that were interesting. I don't know if they have the "red carpet" for the CMA awards like they do with other music awards, and I know the spectators don't get to walk the carpet. But they should.
I saw two women decked out in evening formal wear. I would've suspected they were singers, except they were parked in one of the public $5 lots. Many people were wearing jeans, cowboy boots, and cowboy hats...one guy was wearing all three plus what looked like an American flag poncho.
I also saw quite a few limosines. I couldn't see in and probably wouldn't be able to identify the singer anyway, but there was definitely an atmosphere of excitement downtown.
What I can't figure out, though, is why the CMA awards aren't on the main TV networks. I wouldn't watch them any other time, but I might like to watch them for the one year I live in the city where they are given and where all the people live...
Yeehaw.

I was under the impression that I have seen the Country Music Awards on TV before. Maybe that was cable.

P.S. It took me fifteen years to leave that last comment because it kept telling me I was leaving questionable content in my message. A shame really, I liked my questionable content.

Yes, Pressed, I can understand your frustration, especially since I had the same problem on your blog.
