Flopcast episode 757! While poking around a comic book shop a few months ago, we found an odd 1986 schoolbook called Superstars of Country. The idea was to teach reading skills to the children using profiles of country music artists. Did it work? Probably not, but in ’86 we were all too busy with Hands Across America to notice. Anyway, despite our total lack of interest in country, today we’re flipping through this weird little workbook, and our conversation includes: Willie, Kenny, and Dolly! Barbara Mandrell’s adventures with the Krofft puppets! The amazing hair of Crystal Gayle! The even more amazing hair of Ricky Skaggs! Karaoke direct from Woonsocket, Rhode Island! Several country music “superstars” we’d never heard of! And even more mid-80s country music silliness! Is this just a desperate attempt to get the Flopcast picked up by the Nashville Network? Perhaps. #countrymusic #willienelson #dollyparton #kennyrogers #crystalgayle #barbaramandrell #esonetwork #eso #geektalk #geekpodcast #geek #nerdtalk #nerd #nerdpodcast #podcast #flopcast
