One could say that it was male egos getting the best of them, and some might agree, but woman are also getting involved in disagreements over the change in country music over the years. Woman in the music industry have not always been able to express their opinions freely, not matter what genre was in question. Naomi Judd who was popular back in the eighties, nighty’s, and really early two-thousands, had some things to say.

    I have always been a K9 lover. It never fails to amaze me how ordinary people trade in dogs for these hissing, stubborn, self-centered felines we call cats. Dogs embody characteristics that we wish all humans could possess: unconditional love, joy, unabashed love of life, and never being one to rush to judgment.
