[no name]

thats just a dam shame some people just dont understand when its over!!! how sad

[Lifeisgoodtoday]

Ralph really hurt his self when he went out and betrayed the coal workers by kissing up to the unions and obama in Lebanon. He lost my ear and many others who used to go see him and had a lot of respect for him.

[josie w]

never liked him and never will nor his son which is trying to ride on his coatail. way to overrated. dont give a shit what u all think. your opinion is no better than mine his ass cant sing an music sucks.

[The Baron]

The old man needs to hang it up. And his son has NO talent. What a loser the son is.

[Galax-y-Inquire]

No, what's sad is that people are picking on an old man who can still sing and play better than most people on Topix.

his dumass dont realize that the coal and strip miners probably made him his fortune until he went worldwide and politicing with these cutthroat politicians, thats killing the coalfields. he and his son can go to hell. he tries to sing that dumass song about daddys job or bucket or whatever the dumass fake thing says on the commeercial. what a crock..

[josie w]

oh yeah the muesum out deadwood, which is a joke to trying to charge people 20 bucks to look a the shit he donate. clintwood is a joke like him with their parks and new hotel, that a real eyesore and waste of money for the taxpayers.

[The Baron]

Clintwood and Dickinson County live on government handouts. Period. And let's all thank Bud Phillips for driving the natural gas industry out of Southwest Virginia. Bud blew it big time on this issue. It blew up in his face. And you people want him as a judge?

Every time a camel f--ts in the Mid East..somebody's ready to blame Obama or Democrats!The country was in a recession when Obama was elected..may be "why" he won the election??

[Arch Stanton]

Actually it's the truth. Ralph Stanley has contributed more to American culture/music than you will ever contribute to anything.

Come out of the holler and get a job, you'll learn the truth soon enough. If not, it won't be long before they close the Coeburn Post office and we'll see how much you like that.

[Arch Stanton]

And the country was in a recession when Reagan was elected too. Your point??

I don't get a welfare check..if that's what you are implying! Every time Republicans argue with a Democrat,they bring up Welfare and abortion??? A lot of people are just rich in ignorance and all Democrats don't support abortion! I know I don't!
