I just can't wrap my head around the fact that the person I spoke with was devoid of ever hearing about her, regardless of their taste in music.
This is why -

The point is she was a great singer. The wiseguy's successful trolling venture has again shown the level of cognizance apparent among the dupes.Poking "Patsy Cline" into YouTube's search box brings up several videos with millions of views, so obviously some people still like her music somewhere.
How pray tell do you guys not yet recognize his trademark??
Because he is wise and we are not 😉The point is she was a great singer. The wiseguy's successful trolling venture has again shown the level of cognizance apparent among the dupes.

Well, the nitpicks and critics as usual have done their trademark "off topic" routine.
With that, I suggest the mods now close this thread for me.

You don´t understand that you are living in a bubble?Wrong, sorry.
I've been to a lot of different bars, clubs over the decades, and in several states.
Plus I've DJ'd at several years ago.
There always seemed to have a Patsy song or a few in their jukeboxes.
And meeting with, and speaking to Patsy's daughter Julie, and Patsy's husband Charlie, back in 2005 in Winchester Va, they confirmed that a massive ongoing fan base is still alive and well.
Now go ahead and call them liars.
This negativity about her is starting to tick me off.
You may go to a large City, say NY, where there are, say, 10000 bars, clubs, etc, and you´ll visit, say, 30 of them.
Is it "proof" that all of them play Patsy Cline?
Not at all, you simply went to those you like and which obviously match your taste, what else?
WHERE would he "be exposed" to it?Another point I'd like to make is - Cline, being so legendary, her music being in every bar-room jukebox, etc., she had to have been heard by the masses everywhere over the decades.
I just can't wrap my head around the fact that the person I spoke with was devoid of ever hearing about her, regardless of their taste in music.
You would think..... after 30+ years of breathing the air, that sometime, somewhere there was a chance to have heard her music.
FWIW my 31 y.o. Son only recognizes some Zeppelin - Purple - Yes - etc. music because he has heard it before when I played it; my 27 y.o. Daughter sadly listens to "Disney Radio music" and Reggaeton (ugh!!!) because that´s what her friends listen to and claims my Music "stinks of mothballs" ... not kidding.
Do you think anybody under 70 is influenced by what´s available in ..... jukeboxes? ........ 😱 😱 😱
I´m 69 and the very concept was OLD in my youth.
You must think of flippers as those wonder newfangled games "youths" are addicted to 😉
Or that crew cut hair, knit sweaters with University labels and flannel pants for boys, or girls with long floating skirts and ponytails are the latest fashion 😉
Let alone pimping your Corvette.
Not sure what you were expecting. If you did a poll of 30 somethings across America, I'm guessing 99 percent will have no idea who she is.Well, the nitpicks and critics as usual have done their trademark "off topic" routine.

She had the early country "Twang" to her voice.why would someone who was not seriously into music necessarily know about a singer who died 25 years before they were born. Kids are in general NOT into their parents music as it winds their parents up.
Back at the turn of the century a young Engineer in my team was amazed to learn that 'Lady Marmalade' wasn't written for the musical 'Moulin Rouge' but that would be no reason to judge her. Kids these days only pick up on some old songs if they are sampled by modern artists. I only know of Tammy Wynette from the KLF who were popular when I was at university. And I learned of 'stand by your man' from the blues brothers as a teen.
Everyone has a taste in music and a level of interest in music. you are old so like old music. He is young and likes young music. Big fat MEH.
My kids identify songs I play and know the lyrics. I knew my parents music and lyrics.
I have hundreds of hours of tapes and records dating back to the 50s and 60s that they played. I bet my kids can tell you who sang "16 Tons" by Tennessee Ernoe Ford (and know most of the lyrics). (I first heard the song when I was 3 years old standing in the front seat of a pick up truck listening to the radio and eating "Fig Newtons" while my dad and a friend (Oscamp?) loaded a tree in the bed to plant our yard in Colorado Springs Colorado.
It all depends on how important music was to your forebearers.

I still have about 5 Yes albums. Roundabout was great. Tales from Topographical Gardens was best when "enhanced".Some kids of today are even getting into the music of "Yes", probably partially because the song "Roundabout" was the one of the end credit songs for the Anime series "Jojos bizarre Adventure"
And even Jon Anderson is performing some of the Yes songs along with with the Green Rock academy band (not many musical artists would do that)
Make that 6.
I eat these. They're pretty tasty.Surely you're not suggesting "fig newtons" are a thing of the past?

Ray Bradbury was a visionary, like Aldous Huxley, both imagined the direction that humanity would take in the future.
But not in the sense of the scientific achievements that Jules Verne, Leonardo Da Vinci or Galileo Galilei imagined, who imagined scientific feats that came true, but the predictions of RB and AH today have become a sad reality, man is the wolf of man. And there we go, there is no turning back, despite the climate change deniers, straight to Dante's Hell ! 😡

Are you really surprised to find that some people think of anything associated with country music the same way you think about rap music?...
This negativity about her is starting to tick me off.
It goes beyond the "I don't like her" crap.
Some people are annoyed with country music, but country music was not intended to be annoying. Rap was designed and intended to annoy and offend. It’s the whole point, not just a side effect.
Can't say I agree with this but the broader question is how is this relevant? Do I disparage other's taste in music, no. Is it common to find people who think all country music is trash, in my experience yes. Do I agree, no. I am also a huge fan of punk, I think it's a beautiful genre. Have I had people tell me all punk is trash, yes. Has this impacted my taste in music, nope.Some people are annoyed with country music, but country music was not intended to be annoying. Rap was designed and intended to annoy and offend. It’s the whole point, not just a side effect.
No need for that bunch of accusations.You don´t understand that you are living in a bubble?

I'm certainly not in some bubble.
As for jukeboxes and their songs - an old friend of mine who used to work for a service company, told me that the company kept records of titles and popularity ratings, logged on the machines.
And yes, a fact that Patsy Cline's stuff through the decades was highly in demand across the country.
That's why I previously mentioned that indeed, her stuff, particularly the song "Crazy" was in every jukebox country-wide.
There's an online mention of that very same thing.
So it's not about what bars I've been into.
So again, this is off-topic in this thread and past tiring.
So if the mods can lock this thread, fine, nevertheless I'm done here, and "unwatching" this thread.
Bye.
