Coop..
you forgot that Kentucky was also the home of America’s only sports car – the Corvette.
I have to recommend this one coop
There is one more to add.
Big Alien Bugs:
ADVANTAGE: Definitely Kentucky
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
Not me...
One of the Washington posters said we had bugs the size of soccer balls. :-)
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
yeah... right...
you trying to tell me that’s not a blown up version of Tru’s avatar?
Yes, that is exactly what it is
It was the first bug I thought of.
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
haha
Nice scientific analysis, coop ; )

I don't know about that
push on scenery. After all, theirs is Blue and White.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
Scenery would have to be a push
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I hadn’t made the blue and white connection, but I like it. “What’s your favorite colors baby? Blue and White.”
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
Johnny Cash wasn't from Kentucky
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
is just a freight train coming your way.
Madisonville claims him
Although CMT’s biography says otherwise. Most Kentuckians would adopt him. When he married into the Carter Family, he became part of the Appalachian Family and Heritage.
"all the way"
Nice!
Does the famous person need to be born there? Ashley Judd is from cali and you forgot Jimi Hendrix
well, so has Ashley
Though she was born in California and moved around a lot as a child, she spent much of her childhood in KY—in addition to attending college at UK of course.
I realize this is a joke and I’m reading too much into it ;) but you could have also used My Morning Jacket as KY music, coop—not being much of a country music fan, I do not feel KY was represented best by Montgomery Gentry!

I'm not much of a country fan either
But I’ve never heard of My Morning Jacket…..

they're kind of Neil Young-like or Wilco-ish
I like them, you should check them out—from Louisville

They broke up after one or two albums
Tantric is consisted of 3 of the guys from DOTN

I must confess, I think you gave them music much too easy.......
just ask
JD Crowe
Ralph Stanley
Ricky Skaggs
Dwight Yoakum
The Judds
I AM THE CAT......The Cat In The Hat!!!

true
though Washington does have a fine musical history—I came of age in the 90s so have deep affection for the whole grunge thing : )

But Washington:
Alice in Chains
Pearl Jam
Nirvana
Foo Fighters
Soundgarden
They’ve got us covered….and it isn’t close….

How about Queensryche?
Weren’t they the first successful band out of Seattle? That only leaves those grundge guys about 75 years to catch up with Ralph Stanley, Tom T. Hall, et all…
"all the way"
And Queensryche is terrible...
plus lately we’ve had (although I’m not particularly a fan of any of these artists) Modest Mouse and Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service. Also, Foo Fighters aren’t from Washington…Dave Grohel was actually the only non-WA guy in Nirvana.
If you like to get specific Duff McKegan is from Seattle as well, so we can claim 1/4 of GnR. The Wilson sisters from Heart were also from Seattle. We win music, hands down.
I also have a bone to pick with the sports tradition category, but I’ll keep that to myself.
It's hard to believe
that any list would leave out “the Coal Miner’s daughter” Loretta Lynn,The Everly Brothers, Billy Ray Cyrus and his lovely daughter Miley. I could go on!
Happy Days are here again The sky is all ways BLUE again Happy days are here again !
