Before The Tailgates And Cutoffs There Was Honky Tonks And Jukeboxes

So much commotion has been made about the state of country music, and the cliches that seem to be used over and over to sell country music.  It seems many traditionalists are claiming that Nashville has become lazy in its writing and producing, relying on too many of the same topics.  That may be true, but I remember a time when a different theme dominated the radio.  That's right, before there was 'Tailgates and Cutoffs' there was 'Honky Tonks and Jukeboxes.'
