Listen,there has never been an artist in Country Music that could win over the youth ..ETC was stamped on the desk at my high school.These kids who listened to rock ,pop and dance,they actually got into ETC..Maybe Hank Jr would be another CM artist who could win over the youth..ETC was cool and his music was even cooler..This guy was black balled by CM,because he was too progressive for their liking ..Wow,was ETC not ahead of the curve or what!

Happy Blue Moon Earl Thomas Conley

[@PedalTheGlobe]

The kids today will never understand or appreciate the way the world was then. People cared about their neighbors, weren't buried in their phones, were loyal, and didn't show love just for the sake of one upping someone else on social media.

[@BS-dq1kz]

I was born in 81’ and I had a dysfunctional home life but it was still a great childhood! Stayed outside from morning til night. Played “Kick the Bottle” and drank from the water hose. Laid in the grass with the dogs and made mud pies. Rode our bikes all day long. Ate good food too at grandmas! We respected our elders and loved one another. We were also much more active back then! I feel sorry for my children because the internet is their everything. It’s my own fault but I had no clue what damage it could do when I handed them PlayStations and iPhones. I was the last person in our immediate family of five to get a smart phone or Facebook. When I did, my friends said, “Welcome to the 21st Century”. I used to spend a lot more time with my husband and children before I had an iPhone. I wish I had never picked up one of these dang things and I wish just as much I could’ve seen what effect technology would have on my kids. Do you have kids? What does a parent do when they’ve allowed their kids to have phones and social media so young but 10-13-19 years later they see the negative impact? I feel like I can’t take their stuff away now but I REALLY need to! I feel like it could cause more harm than good at this point to take their electronics. My older two kids understand my concerns and my 13 yr old would respectfully accept my decision to not let her have smartphones or social media. She’s a great child. But my 10 year old would act like a lunatic I am certain! 😩🤦🏻‍♀️ I recently set time limits on the phones but I cave in on days I don’t feel well or when I’m busy, which is often. I recently watched “Social Dilemma” and it made me even more eager to make some changes. I want my kids to be outside! You’re so right. Kids will never know what life was like back then. Did you know the suicide rate for junior high kids has increased 185% since the internet? I find that heartbreaking.

[@angelabise1333]

BS17 I was born in 1980 and I know EXACTLY what you mean EVERYTHING u just sd about growing up and our kids now is how I feel EXACTLY its crazy u sd EVERYTHING that I wanted to say!😉

[@ibelieve1040]

@@angelabise1333 I was born in 1951. I had a very abusive childhood. It’s over. I try my best to get rid of my pain. I have been working on myself since I learned about psychology. I sank into it like ducks on water. It saved my life. My 2 younger sister and brother committed suicide. That is how bad it was. My sister 1 year older than me with me also think about ending our life but we don’t have the guts. We have severe pain from arthritis pain, fibromyalgia, chronic pain. Yet we talk about our childhood and find the funny stuff we did. No indoor bathroom. We see how the world has changed since we were kids. It’s mind blowing. Kids now days don’t have that good old childhood we had. I agree 100%. My granddaughter is soon to be 12 and my son and daughter in law try to get her outside on her bike, roller blades, trampoline, they have her in tennis, gymnastics, karate, she’s a fish in water even starting to mow grass with an easy push mower. They try to keep it limited with all the phones and technology. She’s an ‘A’ student. Friends galore. She has parents that care so much about her and family and friends around her. They live in a city. I grew up on the farm and so did my kids. You just never get bored. Always something to do, work or play. Climbing trees. A treehouse. It was limitless. And good home made balanced meals. Those days are gone forever. But I know I grew up in the best years of music ever! Music is my savior on my dark days. But singing with it makes me feel even better if not the best!!! Hang in there guys! Don’t lose sight of good morals and values. And good common sense. It will get you so much further in this life. Teach your children that! Thanks for sharing! And God I have to say my world of music is vast!

He bought me lilac bushes for my yard! That's enough for me! Instead he buys me cherries when they're in season, clothes that I want, he cooks for me because I can't anymore. There's all the little things that he does or says that mean so much to me. He knows never to hit me(again) because of repercussions! We've learned respect for each other! I hope you get this from your spouse! Much luck to you & prayers! ❤

She would agree to stay if he got sober. He would for a few days maybe a week or two and start taking care of his family, only to fall back into the drink and start the process over. It's a shame how many families are torn apart by alcoholism. Luckily we were saved from him amd left and found a better life. So many never make it out.

one of the best videos of all time. I knew ETC and he was as genuine as its gets

[@RidinBallard]

Damn I love it when I come across these great timeless tunes.

[@geneaustin5151]

It's so sad to hear ETC passed away today. Such an amazing ballad singer. Thanks for the great music. This was the pinnacle era of country music.

[@nguyensolomon2762]

Hi gene, how are you doing

[@terrydouglas2777]

Great song, i remember when this song was first released on CMT, country music television many many years ago. We alled that tv channel because we had videos that we was able to watch our favorite songs being played. Thank you all of CMT who worked to put the music on tv for all the fans of country music. And VH1 for our rock music videos also.

[@markricketts6626]

[@Country_boy-sz3bn]

You are absolutely correct.

[@williammccloud5579]

Agreed

[@jodibarkley4759]

Had one of your songs in my mind all day and then heard you passed. Your music was truly a gift to the world. Rest peacefully.

[@nguyensolomon2762]

Hi Jodi, how are you doing today

[@creek955]

why can't the country artist of today, find inspiration from artist like this.

[@johnpastirchak1053]

In today's heavy handed recording industry, "inspiration" isn't the option it once was. Unlike the "outlaw" days when rebels like Roger Miller, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Tompall Glaser and David Allen Coe would stand up to the "suits of Nashville," today's performers no longer enjoy such leverage. They play what they're told to play, in some cases even at live concerts. One explanation for such artistic servitude-- their own talent agents have a nasty habit of climbing in the sack with the industry's corporate executives, engaging in quid-pro-quo arrangements of benefit to everyone except the baby-faced singer. Artists like Charlie and Bruce Robison Brothers, Nancy Griffith and other great South Texas talents all seem to flourish independently, but "independence" comes at a price. Not that it matters to me; I could listen to them all day on KZbin. But none of them ever seem to ascend to the status of household names as "performers." An exception would be Ms. Griffith, but only as a composer. Her collaborations on "From A Distance" and "Love At The Five & Dime" helped to put her on the map as a song writer. Otherwise their notoriety is pretty much limited to a regional market, a not so appetizing prospect for today's starry eyed up and comers who would rather sell their souls for super-stardom.

Yes ronnie, georgejones and straight, the good old legends

[@mikecubes1642]

they are told to make hick hop country to help brainwash the masses for the media

[@tomsizemore5162]

These artist were honest storytellers..

[@joshuamoore5966]

If you pay attention to today's lyrics, they are very much the same...only thing is, recording labels want to reach the younger generation. Which we all know that they are NOT into old songs...therefore they add background "junk" and hip hop beats

[@kimwallace7599]

I remember when I was living in Alabama me and my Aunt Mot would go to lady's night and they would play this she has passed away now but Earl keeps her close to my heart 💜❤️💜❤️

[@cyberguitargeek]

[@kathymoore9449]

Always has been one of my favorites, - I love all of his songs.

[@laynedowns5615]

This country music star is the real deal in every way. Loved him Love him.❤❤

[@wjrwolf2012]

R.I.P. ETC..... a true country singer always be remembered in our hearts

[@raven-bd5np]

I’m 35 I was bless to be raised with this kind of music

[@shirleyrobbins229]

There's more then that even the ones think they have authority over someone only God has that power and he will prevail

[@1976HHHS]

RIP to one of the greatest music artists! Thank you for your music!💔🙏❤

[@alexpierrot1748]

Well, we use to listen to a local radio station full of static, bad reception. Today if I know the songs and artists, I go find it on KZbin just perfect, loud and clear. Thank You!

[@thetexican9004]

I really appreciate ppl who make statements like this is real country. It really lets me know who u are deep down inside. ! Don’t get me wrong I love this song!! But I like lots of songs. By a variety of artists. And a variety of genres. I like a lot of songs that u wouldn’t consider country. Glad to know how u feel b4 I wasted my time getting to know u!
