Happy 80th birthday to the Grand Ole Opry, an American institution with a bigger Indiana connection than you might realize. Still a lot of good country music out there, even if it has drifted too far from its hillbilly roots and become another part of the corporate music culture. The good news -- a lot of country stars are starting their own labels; maybe that will re-energize the music.
