Since there are so many Fulks fans here, thought I'd share...
The Opry's anniversary is being covered by the Today show on October 14th as well. The show will run a segment featuring footage of Robbie performing at the Opry and talking-head comments from Robbie on the venue, the occasion, and the feeling of singing on country's greatest stage. A version of the piece will also run on that evening's Nightly News on NBC, but it's unclear whether that version will include Robbie. Be sure to record Robbie schmoozing with Katie and Matt from 7-10 a.m., October 14th.

don't you automatically poke fun at any artist which appears on a morning news or chat show?
why is fulks not garning any of your usual "clever" remarks for this appearence...

An interview and clips of someone performing a separate show is a totally different thing than a performance where the record company is paying for the Today show appearance. Get the difference?

Artist A appears on a cheesy show to promote themselves/ their product.
Artist B appears on a cheesy show to talk about a topic someone deemed worthy of reporting.

Will Fulks be on before or after the segment where they show you how to make that Jell-o thing with the little marshmallows in it?

Put a track suit on anybody, and they'll look hot. Even Guiny.

So I guess the irony in all of this is that Robbie Fulks was the guy who wrote "Fuck This Town" about Nashville, and now he's on the fucking Today Show blabbing on about hte Grand Ole Opry.

Yeah, and Fulks doesn't view this as free advertising...
:roll:
Like someone said, whatever helps you sleep at night!

So, is the jury still out on Fulksie? Bands such as Bon Jovi, Clapton & Fulks can probably gain cred now by appearing with Katie & Matt.
What bands would instantly lose cred by appearing on The Today Show?

They are playing "Roots Rock Weirdos" on WOXY.
Rhett can look forward to legions of cell-phone chatting, ironic t-shirt wearers at Fulks' next local gig.

Well the lyrics are pretty ANTI-hipster, but you never know.
The town was hardly stirring, the night clubs all were closed
Only a washed-up cover band hittin' the stage at Joe's
The guitar hit the first bar of "Secret Agent Man"
A door in the back flew open, and into the room they ran!
Roots rock weirdoes, up from the underground
Starved for a Tele or a B3 -- any out-of-fashion sound
Roots rock weirdoes, out of their holes they come
Dressed up like it's 1951.
Well, they looked the band gear over and they noted with delight
The guitar amp was a Bassman, and the bass man played upright
Then they looked 'round at each other, and they cried, "We Are The Best!
For we like unpopular music, and just look at the way we're dressed!"
Roots rock weirdoes, slapping each others' backs
Using the hepcat language they thought made them sound black
Roots rock weirdoes, smoking their Camels straight
Makin' sure there was nothing up to date.
Now Joe, he was slow to anger, but that barkeep found it hard
Just to watch the air grow toxic with smoke and self-regard
So he jumped up on a barstool and he shouted out loud and clear:
"I don't know just what you weirdoes want, but I don't want you in here!"
The room grew deathly silent, then up from the stinking ranks
Rose a homely social worker in a bowling shirt marked "Hank"
And dropping the fake black diction, he said, "Since you enquired,
Let me take stock of what we roots rock -- ahem! -- 'weirdoes' desire...."
Fishnets for every woman, and lipstick as red as flame
For every man a tatoo, a Chevy, and a dumb nickname
Cigarettes in every shirtsleeve, black leather on every back,
Fanzines in every bookstore, LPs in each record rack.
Three chords in every pop song! Four white guys in each band!
A ruthless media empire to saturate this land
Then, with our alt.country comrades, and our brothers in neo-swing,
We'll reclaim music from the kids for our fat dead cracker king!"
Roots rock weirdoes, Christ! They're everywhere!
A little Doc Pomus in their hearts and dark pomade in their hair
Roots rock weirdoes, out of their holes they come
Dressed up like it's 1951.

Have you got something against bands like Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Blasters, Los Lobos and The Long Ryders???

And for a mere $12 it can be purchased on a t-shirt.

I downloaded the iTunes single yesterday. Very funny and tuneful, I think.
