A preview of coming attractions

I can’t respond today to Rocket Man’s dismissal of the great Charlie Rich in his post on the Country Music Top 100 below. As Rocket Man’s post suggests, however, he is perhaps a little more familiar with the catalogue of current country stars like George Strait than with the career of a deceased giant like Rich. I will try to right the grievous wrong Rocket Man has done Rich over the weekend with an account of his career and a tribute to his music. Please check in with us over the weekend as the Power Line culture desk undertakes its solemn responsibilities to our readers.
