    Michael Bay's "Pearl Harbor" was best summed up by Roger Ebert's review opener, "'Pearl Harbor' is a two-hour movie squeezed into three hours, about how on Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese staged a surprise attack on an American love triangle."

    I just wanna say, as a PSA: don’t touch butterfly wings. They’re covered in scales that repel water and maintain their flying efficiency. That’s the colored dusting stuff you might see on your fingers if you do touch their wings. If you’re really not careful you can tear the wings too. Butterflies can fly with scales missing but if they get caught in water they’ll get stuck, and usually can’t fly if the wings are torn.

Like, Faith was just pumping the gas a bit too hard on the heart-rending grief, if that makes sense. If she'd pulled back a bit I think the song would be better regarded.

Then claimed her son is a genius, and will soar in some expensive Christian private school. What actually happened is that my cousin did so terribly academically, he was held back a year, and expelled 2 months into his second, for a prank. A prank that if he wasn't a minor at the time, would have put him on the sex offender registry.

    It's called standing for what you believe in. Record executives in Nashville seemed ashamed of traditional country music and began producing more commercial-sounding music with "crossover appeal." Many artists who were originally a part of the neotraditional movement in the early to mid 90s were happy to sell out and go pop to advance their careers. Those that remained traditional such as George Strait and Alan Jackson didn't like that the industry had turned its back on traditional country music stalwarts such as George Jones and Merle Haggard. I believe there's a place for all types and variations of music, but it did feel like there was a concerted effort on music row to "kill" traditional country music.

    Regarding Shania disappearing after a while: it was mostly due to her contracting a strain of Lyme disease that almost caused her to completely lose her voice. She had to go to therapy for years to get it back. She’s still out there performing and releasing music (she had a Vegas residency, and I even saw her last year), but that explains why she dropped off.

    Many people don't know this, but pre-90s, Billboard would determine the best sales by calling record shops and asking what sold. In the late 80s and early 90s when country music made it big, that was the same time that Billboard used computers and actual sales numbers. Part of the out-of-nowhere explosion of country music was simply about better tracking.

    I was working as an usher in a movie theater in the summer of 2002, and the soundtrack to Lilo and Stitch was looping on the sound system a solid 50% of the time, so hearing Todd say Faith Hill had a song on it, and then playing a song I'd never heard in my life, made me wonder if I'd slipped into an alternate universe. Which would explain a thing or two...

    Lilo and Stitch is one of my favorite Disney movies ever, so when Todd said she had a song on the soundtrack, I was immediately like “Tf? How’d I miss that?” The reveal that it was Japan-only felt like a baseball bat to the head.
