Just wondering, since I was really amazed by seeing the Grand Ole Opryand wonder why such a weekly music star cavalcade doesn't exist for other musical genres like rock (alternative, hard rock, metal, etc.). And I mean all live music, TRL and Soultrain have more of discoteque feels.
Having said all this, why don't comparable programs exist (weekly revues featuring a few big names and some regulars broadcast locally or nationally syndicated?

Dude, I totally spaced on Austin City Limits, so you get some points for that, but it's still not as famous as the Grand Ole Opry. At least, in the circles I run with.
And country does change as I know older folks who don't like some of the young country bits and some young country boppers who can't stand the older stuff (e.g. Hank Williams Sr.).

i'm sure you have pbs, so then you have the greatest music show in history. austin city limits. it's a weekly show from austin texas at a very great small venue. it airs at different times in different pbs markets. check their website...........i think pbs.org for local showtimes. everyone has played austin city limits.
