Is This Like Naked Nancy Sinatra?

I mean taking chances in the prime of your career. (I knew "Naked Nacy Sinatra would garner some interest) Like when a country singer (think Johnny Cash) gets old & they sign up to get Rick Rubinified (which is a schtick I believe any PCLer could do) and commences a-singin' "edgy" material fer which they woulda got thar asses kicked up one side o' Texas and down t'other when they were younger. Why the hell is country music a vegasmullet wasteland? Why does a country singer have to be looking into the face of oblivion before they will do cool music? They hold a quintessential idiom within which to work! Why? WHY?!?!?

Ha! I really don't care....just ranting for sport.....
