congratulations little rascal

      Music is weird. It can portray a mood, set a scene, psych you up, calm you down, and comfort you. It is weird the connections that can be made to life through music and lyrics. Some may even say music is a way of life. I'm not an extremist but I am a big fan. Tonight I'm going to tell you all about one of my favorites. Rascal Flatts, who just found out tonight that they are being inducted into the grand ole opry. Which is the greatest honor in country music. I can't say I was suprised because they are truly a great group and they relate to all ages and people. it was indeed a surprise to them, they wee in shock and of course honored at the recognition. Some people have questioned it asking why it took so long,obviously a simple answer would be good things take time, or things get better with age. Rascal Flatts have someone the vest songs in country music history. Including: bless the broken road, these days, fast cars and freedom, and my wish. Not only limited to those few, there are so many more very notable songs written by the band. A wick history lesson on them, they met at church when they were young and started a band, they have been doing it ever since.
      I love the way they relate to you when they are singing. Not only that the love there fans, not just the fake way most celebrities do. They wrote a song ("heres to you") about how they would be nothing without their fans. They stay late for autographs. The concert that I saw them at they let a little girl dance on stage because it was her birthday, and pulled a guy up on stage to propose to his wife. They have real feelings. I respect that they carry themselves as real people. Which is why I couldn't be more happy or in agreement with the Opry's decision to induct this generations greatest country artists.
