It’s always fun to learn a bit more about the tastes of our fellow country music fans from time to time. So, I’m asking you to enter my imaginary world for a little while.
Pretend that you’re trapped on a desert island and can have one of each item listed in the categories below. Of course, my imaginary existence somehow allows for you to, somehow, manage to have electricity, a stereo and a DVD player.

I’m also bringing my DS and my Wii.
If we could make a few swaps, I would have also chosen the Norton Anthology of Poetry over Shakespeare’s sonnets,( the sonnets would have been covered by my selection of his complete works in any case..)
And Larry McMurtry’s “Lonesome Dove” over Junger’s “Perfect Storm” for novel, although that would be a close call.
Lot of great choices everybody, I especially like the mention ot Tarantino and Scorcese for Filmaker, I almost chose “Gangs of New York” for my favorite movie,(“The Departed” crossed my mind as well). But the Coen Brothers always make me laugh, and sometimes make me think. They are brilliant and quirky.
Yep, all these great choices from everyone have me re-considering, glad we don’t have to REALLY choose!
DANG Kevin, I would have chosen South Park as well, If I had stretched the children’s category like you diid! :D
Yeah, I’m glad we don’t have to choose for real too. Some great choices here.
Blake, glad to see someone else who appreciates John Updike. He’s so messed up, but I love it anyway.
I’m also excited to see the overwhelming love for Patty’s Mountain Soul (I said it before you had to Steve:)).
CMW, I too love the Dick Van Dyke show, much to Bill’s chagrin.
Matt B., I, of course, love your first choice.
And…dang it…Johnny Cash should have made it on my list somewhere! I don’t want to be on a desert island without him.
Thanks Leeann, :) and thanks for noticing my restraint!
Leeann and I decided that if we are going to plan a trip to a desert island, that we would obviously do it together. We also noticed that it would give us three more choices to work with.
