http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/blognroll/22742 BAKERSFIELD SOUNDoff! Today is the big mural event in which artists honor the great legends of the Bakersfield Sound.&nbsp; What I'm about to say may sound like sour grapes.&nbsp; And don't get me wrong.&nbsp; I love raisins.&nbsp; They are sweet and full of important nutrients.&nbsp; But as it concerns the country music scene in Kern County, where are all the new grapes, that grow from the vine that is our treasured heritage? It's great to treasure our country legends of yore, like Buck, Merle, Red, Ferlin, or Roy Nicols and Gene Moles pictured here?&nbsp; But are we content to live in the past, or are we prepared to make new history as it pertains to the Bakersfield Sound. In addition to the rather impolitically-phrased question already posed, today's other two BAKERSFIELD SOUNDoff questions are as follows: &nbsp; 1. Has the old Bakersfield Sound &quot;family&quot; failed in passing their skills on to a new generation of would-be stars, and have they failed in reaching out to youth to carry on their country music traditions?&nbsp; &nbsp; 2.&nbsp; Have Kern County kids abandoned the rich heritage of the Bakersfield Sound, and, in the process, has each would-be Kern County country star forfeited his/her opportunity and birth right in order to pursue music like that of Korn, that is completely bereft of any hint of influence that could possibly be linked to the Bakersfield Sound?&nbsp; It's blog n roll.&nbsp; I provide the (mostly original) Dr BLTunes, and the topic, and you provide the conversation.&nbsp; Ready?&nbsp; Set?&nbsp; Blog n roll! &nbsp; PS: Be sure to stay &quot;tuned&quot; at: http://www.drblt.net BAKERSFIELD SOUNDoff!

Of course none of us can live through the exact experience lived through by those who went before us.&nbsp; But what shaped the great artists of the Bakersfield Sound was not the details of their experience, per se (though it did play a role in terms of the lyrical content of the songs), but, more important, was the feelings, or underlying emotions&nbsp;that went with those experiences.&nbsp;</p> <p>So the songs of our generation will be different, in that we all come from different places, have had a different set of experiences, and have suffered in different ways, and to different degrees.&nbsp; But musicians can still retain the attitude of non-conformity that was central to the Bakersfield Sound.&nbsp; And we can retain the spirit of vulnerability and spilling your guts out on the stage.&nbsp;</p> <p>The most common experience shared in these songs we treasure from the past is not financial stress or physical hunger, it was the experience of getting your heart broken, of loving someone so much that it hurts, and of that person cheating on you just when you needed that person most.&nbsp;</p> <p>These experiences don't change with the times.&nbsp; And neither does the rebellious, devil-may-care non-conformity---the core attitude&nbsp;that was the signature of the Bakersfield Sound.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;You actually validated my point.&nbsp;&nbsp; That sound was born of a time and place.&nbsp; The defied the Nashville sound and created their own.&nbsp; It's not likely to come around again.&nbsp; Everything in it's turn.</p> <p>Speaking of Bakersfield boys (you weren&quot;t?..hehe)&nbsp;
