Ray Price's panties are in a bunch over recent comments from Blake Shelton regarding "older" Country music. While these two fight it out on their own, KEKB is going to you, the listener, to settle this dispute the cowboy way..... with a vote.

Let's backtrack. Here's what CMA Entertainer of the Year Blake Shelton said:

Nobody wants to listen to their grandpa’s music,” the singer stated, adding, “And I don’t care how many of these old farts around Nashville going, ‘My God, that ain’t country!’ Well that’s because you don’t buy records anymore, jacka–. The kids do, and they don’t want to buy the music you were buying."

In response, here's what Ray Price said:

Eat my shorts."

No, really, what Ray Price said was:

It’s a shame that I have spend 63 years in this business trying to introduce music to a larger audience and to make it easier for the younger artists who are coming behind me. Every now and then some young artist will record a rock and roll type song , have a hit first time out with kids only. This is why you see stars come with a few hits only and then just fade away believing they are God’s answer to the world. This guy sounds like in his own mind that his head is so large no hat ever made will fit him. Stupidity Reigns Supreme!!!!!!! Ray Price (CHIEF “OLD FART” & JACKA–”) ” P.S. YOU SHOULD BE SO LUCKY AS US OLD-TIMERS. CHECK BACK IN 63 YEARS (THE YEAR 2075) AND LET US KNOW HOW YOUR NAME AND YOUR MUSIC WILL BE REMEMBERED."

Since these two can't seem to get along, and since KEKB listeners know more about Country music than any other radio listeners in the world, it is up to you to decide. Cast your vote in our online poll.
