Little does Jarod know that one accident with the owner of the place will turn his life upside and all in a good way. From the moment she bumped into Jarod she went all a fluster, but not being one to simper and act all girly like Daisy resorts to the golden rule set down by Mable, the woman who took in Daisy when she needed someone to lean on, and keeps Jarod at a save distance, but with friends, customers and underhanded people like those in her life she did not stand a chance. Jarod just want to get his job done, which is helping his uncle get his place up to date and out of the dark ages. He has no time for a woman in his life, more over he has no luck with woman - he has had three failures so far to prove it. Despite this he has not given up on finding that one person for him and he is liking the looks of one Ms Daisy alot. With Daisy not playing ball and Jarod trapped out on the farm with his uncle Emmitt a few people just have to take matters into their own hands and set the wheels of this romance in motion. With a set of triplet who seems to have no life of their own, a sneaking underhanded best friend and an old man who is more here than there Daisy and Jarod I Love This Bar not know what hit them. I would be nitpicking if I said there was anything of worth that I didn't like about this book. The characters were all over the place and they somehow worked in the Honky Tonk setting. Daisy is my kinda girl, no lily liver, simpering miss of a girl was this woman, she was something else. Confident in her abilities, assertive in her position I Love This Bar a bar owner and a vet and she only feared giving her heart to the wrong man — did I forget to mention that she knows how to use the business end of a shotgun as well. Jarod is so lucky Daisy already claimed him or there would be a fight out in the boon docks for him, he was a great character. I love that there was no drama in this book, it was just a really fun read. Brown does move the action out of the bar setting for those people who are oppose to that sort of environment and I saw both protags hard at work, hard at play and in I Love This Bar rather emotional scenes as well. I connected I Love This Bar more than one person in this book I Love This Bar one especially I Love This Bar out for me, Uncle Emmitt. I thought his character was not only fully developed I Love This Bar was integrated into the plot really well. Lastly there was an over abundance of country music artist and songs tossed in to fit I Love This Bar scenes or the mood that the characters were in. I can see this being annoying for people who are already familiar with the music type or for people who are just turned I Love This Bar by name pimping in books — for me I loved it. I have already put together a neat compilation of songs based on the flow of this book. Sexy cowboys, sassy woman and in between that mix in much fun, and a barrel full of laughter. Love it.

Her characters are spunky and jumped right off the page! As soon as I finished this one, I wanted to get right into the next book in the series. A very nice read. View 2 comments. Jun 24, Wendy Hines rated it really liked it. Daisy O'Dell is the owner and barmaid of the Honky Tonk. She loves her job, her bar, but she sure gets lonely at night. Ruby, the previous owner, always told Daisy not to take men into the back apartment, and Daisy hasn't yet. But, after slipping and falling on the sexiest cowboy she's ever seen, she might have to change her mind. Jarod McElroy can't take his eyes off the pretty barmaid, but he knows it won't go any further. She's a barmaid and he doesn't mess with barmaids. Besides, his stay is only temporary. He is helping out his Uncle Emmett, who has Alzheimer's and has no time I Love This Bar the little brunette. When Emmett takes a cotton to the idea of Jarod and Daisy being married, Daisy moves in to pretend and play house. She's always liked Emmett and wants his last days to be peaceful. But the sparks can't be denied between her and Jarod and the passion and sass sizzles. Jarod wants Daisy but he has to leave soon, go back to run his own ranch. Daisy may have to choose between her Honky Tonk and her heart. I Love This Bar is the first in Ms. Brown's new Honky Tonk series and wowee it is a winner! Hot cowboys, sassy women, country music, and good ole fashioned loving will I Love This Bar you thoroughly entertained and wanting a cowboy of your own. I'm looking forward to the next in the series, Hell, Yeah!. Brown's romances just tingle my toes and make me smile. Sep 02, Pamela AllHoney I Love This Bar it liked it Shelves: contemporary-romanceloc-usa1st-in-seriescowboys-ranchersbars-and-honkytonks. The first book in the Honky Tonk series by Carolyn Brown. I love cowboy stories and grabbed this for them. Not bad but a tad slow for me. It just didn't pull me in like I wanted it to. Jul 07, Kenzie rated I Love This Bar did not like it. This book is such a slow burn and so repetitive. May 09, Vicki rated it really liked it. A lot. Brown does a good job with the character development and the sexual tension. We are introduced to life at the Honky Tonk. Although, deny them she does, or tries to. You see, Daisy is sworn off men after the last one raised his hand to her. Jarod McElroy is the cowboy who has just fallen on top of an angel. As soon I Love This Bar old Emmett passes on Jarod will be back home to Oklahoma. Of course, we know they end up together and it is just a really nice, down-to-earth story. Actually, it could have been ugly when the pair slipped in beer someone spilled on the floor of the local watering hole Daisy owned, The Honky Tonk.

  • America's Changing Mirror: How Popular Music Reflects Public
    AMERICA’S CHANGING MIRROR: HOW POPULAR MUSIC REFLECTS PUBLIC OPINION DURING WARTIME by Christina Tomlinson Campbell University Faculty Mentor Jaclyn Stanke Campbell University Entertainment is always a national asset. Invaluable in times of peace, it is indispensable in wartime. All those who are working in the entertainment industry are building and maintaining national morale both on the battlefront and on the home front. 1 Franklin D. Roosevelt, June 12, 1943 Whether or not we admit it, societies change in wartime. It is safe to say that after every war in America’s history, society undergoes large changes or embraces new mores, depending on the extent to which war has affected the nation. Some of the “smaller wars” in our history, like the Mexican-American War or the Spanish-American War, have left little traces of change that scarcely venture beyond some territorial adjustments and honorable mentions in our textbooks. Other wars have had profound effects in their aftermath or began as a result of a 1 Telegram to the National Conference of the Entertainment Industry for War Activities, quoted in John Bush Jones, The Songs that Fought the War: Popular Music and the Home Front, 1939-1945 (Lebanon, NH: University Press of New England, 2006), 31. catastrophic event: World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and the current wars in the Middle East. These major conflicts create changes in society that are experienced in the long term, whether expressed in new legislation, changed social customs, or new ways of thinking about government. While some of these large social shifts may be easy to spot, such as the GI Bill or the baby boom phenomenon in the 1940s and 1950s, it is also interesting to consider the changed ways of thinking in modern societies as a result of war and the degree to which information is filtered.

  • Patriotism, Courtesy of Toby Keith: the Voice of Country Music After September 11
    Patriotism, Courtesy of Toby Keith: The Voice of Country Music After September 11 Arin Rose Dickerson Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication Dr. Rachel L. Holloway, Chair Dr. Beth M. Waggenspack Dr. Robert E. Denton, Jr. 25 April 2006 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: epideictic, symbolic convergence, dramatism, Toby Keith, September 11, country music Copyright 2006, Arin Rose Dickerson Patriotism, Courtesy of Toby Keith: The Voice of Country Music After September 11. Arin Rose Dickerson ABSTRACT In releasing the songs Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American) and American Soldier in the aftermath of September 11, country artist Toby Keith enacts a tradition that has been established in the world of country music since the Civil War, that of producing wartime songs of patriotism. I conducted an organic analysis of both songs as rhetorical acts produced and consumed within a particular rhetorical context. Because country music is fundamentally a discourse that celebrates the attitudes, values and experiences of its audience, I first analyzed these two songs as instances of epideictic rhetoric. As an epideictic rhetor, Keith reinforces the traditional values of the country music audience, uniting them in celebration of the communal identity that renders them a rhetorical community. That shared identity enables Keith to advance a rhetorical vision of a post-September 11 reality, attributing meaning to the events of September 11 and the ensuing conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. I use pentadic analysis to illuminate the vision presented in each song, and I utilize both media coverage and the Billboard charts to determine how well this vision “chained out” amongst the country music audience.
