To claim you're a Texan and not be a fan of George Strait is an impossible combination. By virtue of being born in this State, one is inhered with a natural affinity for and devotion to the man (or rather, The Man). By no means would I describe myself as a fan of country music, but I would stop traffic to cross the street, shake George Strait's hand, and thank him for his immense contributions to music and to the State of Texas. All of the above being said, it should come as little surprise that I drove around for an extra thirty minutes on my way home from campus in order to catch KVET's Strait Shot: two George Strait songs in a row beginning at 6 p.m. You're correct, I do have almost almost all of his songs on my iPhone; hearing them on the radio, however, just makes the experience much sweeter as I listen to each song with thousands throughout central Texas. Today's Strait Shot included two classics: "Check Yes or No" and "Oceanfront Property." With my windows rolled down and the volume cranked up, I meandered through my neighborhood, contentedly singing along to both.
