Country Commonplaces,
This review is from: Book of Country Music Wisdom, The: Common Sense and Uncommon Genius from 101 Country Music Greats (Paperback)
Once again I was fooled by the title of a book in this series (see "The Wisdom of Old-Time Television"). I was anticipating a compilation of great lines from country music such as "I'm So Miserable Without You, It's Almost Like Having You Here" (song title by Stephen Bishop). But not in this little book. Turn to p. 23 and you get "Country music springs from the heart of America" (Tex Ritter), "Country music belongs to America" (Bill Monroe) and "There's more than one kind of country music" (Pam Tillis). Is this wisdom? Is this entertaining? Is this worth $6.95 plus a $1.85 special surcharge? Well, I'm being a little unfair. There are a few good quotations in this collection, but let me close with the words of Tennessee Ernie Ford on p. 114: "You can't cheat the public for long."
