RIP Eddie Arnold

May 11th, 2008

Seedub apologizes for his supposed “uncoolness,” but as far as I’m concerned, that in itself is a hell of a lot cooler than a lot of the witless, no-talent noisemaking passing for “cool” on eMpTyVee and VH1 these days. And the same goes for the late, great Eddie Arnold — in spades. If digging the music of legendary class acts like Eddie Arnold, Jim Reeves, and Ray Price is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

    My dad was a country musician and bluegrass fiddler and I used to sing with his band. We were allowed to listen to whatever kind of music we wanted in our rooms but the stereo in the livingroom played those late greats you mentioned and more. (I think he had a crush on Kitty Wells!) Both of my brothers are musicians and I've been known to play a jazz tune or two on the sax.My son skateboards on a team sponsored by a skate shop. The shop held a skate contest. A DJ played songs - there was a 1/2 hour tribute to Johnny Cash. It was cool to watch these kids skateboarding to "Ring of Fire" and other songs.Those legends are an important part of the evolution of music. Mr. Arnold will be missed.
