Link: Everyone says they hate country music, but when “Devil Went Down to Georgia”, “The Gambler”, and “Country Roads” come on the radio, suddenly everyone’s a fucking liar.

this christmas I learned I'm apparently the only person who's aware of the muppet version of Kenny Rogers' The Gambler and general ignorance of this cultural artifact was so unimaginable to me that I genuinely had to stop and question whether it was real or whether I'd been walking around remembering a fever dream

Misha could get anything he wants from me just by making that sad puppy Cas face. I’d fold instantly. I’d fold so fucking hard that Kenny Rogers would be proud of me.

He already played a Cowboy, the quintessential western character; now let's have him play a singer of the quintessential western music genre: Country Music.
I swear the 'Roger' name is just a coincidence. The idea came to mind because in some of Kenny's photos there is a slight resemblance to Roger, or maybe I'm just dreaming.

This year marks the debut of something that will come to define this decade as we know it: MTV. The channel launched on August 1st with The Buggles' Video Killed the Radio Star as its first video. However, the videos haven't successfully killed the radio yet, so we won't see the channel's effect on the charts right away.
This was a good year for soft rock, as well as country crossovers with Kenny Rogers, Eddie Rabbitt, and Dolly Parton. Rogers and Parton were already well-established superstars in Nashville, but the early eighties marks the point when their presence reached mainstream audiences as well. I was going to use Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 as a springboard to talk about Reaganomics, but I scrapped that because it bummed me out.
