Garrett Duke

LOL Lori...I was wondering myself how I got to green as well. One day it was black and then the next it was green. LOL...oh well. I love black...I am not gothic at all, just one of my favorite colors -black and red - but like to have the box green though. Adds color.

I don't really mean against his other songs, just what he is saying in the song. He states stuff I would think of as being a bad thing and yet he loves the American Ride? That is what I had a hard time understanding. I agree with what you are saying Redneck Girl...that is the only thing I can think of is that he is being sarcastic when he says it. Sometimes with Toby I find it hard to figure whether he is being serious or just sarcastic about stuff.

Welcome to hnet! Glad to see that you are finally able to post. Am also glad to meet another Dukes fan. Sounds like you have a variety in taste when it comes to music...lol. Which is good, that way you'll never get tired of anything. Being a big country music fan, have you tried or listened to Kenny Chesney or Keith Urban or Alan Jackson? Those are a few of my favorite artists. As I said earlier, welcome to hnet - I am sure you will enjoy your stay. I like your picture you have of Tom Wopat, that is a good picture of him.

You can't go wrong with Alan Jackson no matter what song it is if you ask me. If you want country music, go to AJ's music. He is a hundred percent country if you ask me. Really like Toby's music as well...him and AJ are amongst my favorites. I like his new song, but I have a little hard time understanding it. . .not all of it. What I don't understand is that he seems to be listing off the negativity that America is going through and yet he says he loves it? I don't know, that's the part I don't understand, but that is probably just me.

LOL MaryAnne - I guess I wasn't thinking of Hazzardnet when I had said that in my last post. Very true, you can trust Hazzardnet.

Wow NASCAR Illistrated...I thought I was up to date on everything by making NASCAR.com one of my first stops I take when I get online. Never even heard of the magazine, but it sounds interesting and something I would like. I like everything NASCAR. Which is ironic...over twelve years ago if you were to say I would even remotely like NASCAR, I would have thought you crazy. I got into liking the Dukes in '97...or again, I should say (I was five when they stopped making the show, but remember watching / liking the show back then), a year after the show got onto TNN. Before getting back into the Dukes big time, I didn't understand how anyone could like racing and thought of the sport as very meaningless - after all, all it is is a bunch of men chasing each other around in circles. They don't get no where and so forth - might as well as watch your dog chase it's tail. Well now thanks to the Dukes, General Lee and their racing, I am a HUGE racing fan. Truth be told though, it took me forever to really fully understand it and to become addicted to it. I didn't have anyone to tell me the whys and all that goes on except for a Jr fan I knew online and it always took her awhile to get back to my questions. I just collected Gordon stuff and watched parts and pieces of races here and there. I don't think I fully understood the whole thing until '04 with the points change and then things began to fall into place for me. (Ironically though, I am not a big fan of how they have the whole points thing either. LOL) OK there is my long and boring fandom story. LOL. Now everyone I know, knows I like racing and Gordon. Gordon and the Chicago Cubs. I understand what you said about liking to go fast and to be in control. I doubt the classes or what not they teach would be very hard or boring, just a precaustionary type thing I would imagine though don't know since I didn't go through it. I think it may cost more to drive it as well...I know one is more expensive than the other, but I could be wrong. I'd perfer to ride if I ever get to go again just because I enjoyed it so much and I would be too nervous to drive the car myself and that I would wreck it or wreck someone else or whatever I could do wrong. LOL. LOL...I find that funny. Somehow I can't imagine Stewart singing at all not alone during the race. I assume he was in a good position when he was singing during the caution and obviously in a good mood. I think that would be interesting to listen into what the drivers are saying...I know I do when they do it on the TV, but a lot of times on the TV I have a hard time understanding what they are saying. That is good that they have a screen for everyone to see, though I would also worry that I'd find myself watching that more than the actual track and to do that, you might as well as be home watching it on TV. The souvenier stands and tents sound interesting and a place I'd be stuck at forever! LOL...there'd go my checking account and all my money I brought with me. LOL. Digger has his own stand? LOL. . .that's funny. I like him and find his commercials cute. I personally wish that NASCAR would stay on Fox, I like Darrell Waltrip and Jeff Hammond. I have nothing against the other commentators and they are all good, but I like those two the best. I hope you have a good, fun, and relaxing weekend. I hope your Edwards will have a great race tomorrow night...by what it says on nascar.com they are having practicing or they were an hour ago or so and it was clouding up. Hopefully they won't have any more rain issues tomorrow night.
