PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS:
COUNTRY MUSIC
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1991
9:45 PM
[Introductory acknowledgments]
After a long day, it's just great to be here -- with
friends, and personal heroes. I don't just come here as
President. I come as a fan.
You know, country music is my window on "the real world."
In Washington, I have to sit hours on end without hearing a
breath of down-home American English. So when I want to hear
plain language, I turn to country music. Country songs never
lecture about "infrastructure;" they sing about trucks and trains
and lonesome highways.
Country entertainers are as real as your millions of fans.
You treat each other as family. [Let me say how much Barbara and
I sympathize with the country music family on the loss of that
great lady, Dottie West. And we miss the presence of our friend,
Minnie Pearl, who is feeling ill. Minnie, you have America's
prayers and best wishes.]
America is your neighborhood, and country music people are
great neighbors. You listen. You sympathize. You aren't afraid
to be sad or mad or happy. You don't put on airs. Somehow, you
capture emotions.
2
But you also serve. Country performers and hometown radio
stations create public service programs that make a difference.
Thanks to you, we'll reach the day sooner when every adult in
this country knows how to read.
Barbara and I will always be grateful for what you did for
our troops in the Gulf and for their families -- for the blood
drives and the letter writing campaigns and the USO shows.
It's a real joy to be with you for this celebration. It's
easy to see why America loves country music: Country music loves
America.
Thank you, and God bless each and every one of you.
