very good read and he hits it on the head. A middle-ground would be good but there is absolutely no way to please both groups fully
Now I'm wondering what people in '50s thought about Hank Sr.; I've read few blog posts, some people said that Hank Sr. is the man who 'invented' Pop-Country too.
By the way, don't you think it's funny that Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts, and Carrie Underwood are members of Opry, while Hank Sr. is not?

Country music and radio has always had pop influences, even in the 50′s, and it must continue to.
There may have had pop influences way back then but probably not as distinct as it is now.
