Country music legend, Loretta Lynn suffered a stroke and was admitted to a Nashville hospital this week.

I envy People Magazine. They're in a position to SPEND time with Loretta Lynn and let her bend their ears with all kinds of great stories about her life and legendary career.

Who doesn't love Loretta Lynn? She's from Kentucky, she's the first lady of country, she's an icon, etc. etc. Do you remember when she popped up on prime time TV in the early 80's? Let's take a look back.

Our blue Kentucky girl, Loretta Lynn, celebrates her 82nd big day. In the 1960's she was the #1 female country artist and songwriter. This year's been big for Loretta. In November, she was presented the Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama...

She was born a coal miner's daughter. She threatened a trip to "Fist City" for any woman who'd mess with her man. And she created a firestorm of controversy and got banned from country radio because of "The Pill."

Country legend Loretta Lynn's oldest daughter has died.

This is very cool: fans can listen to a press conference of Loretta's golden achievement leading up to tomorrow nights show online at opry.com   at 6:30pm Central. It's going to be a great celebration tomorrow night on the Grand Ole Opry with Miranda Lambert, Pistol Annies, Crystal Gayle, Lee Ann Womack and more...

I'm shocked, I tell you! Shocked! Eh...I'll get over it. See, I'm already over it. But, honestly, Loretta Lynn fibbing about her age does change a big piece of country music folklore.

All things Martina McBride here with the Moonster. It was 1995 when the short-haired coiffed Martina McBride was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry.

Yesterday I posted about country music stars either making a cameo or as the lead actor in a movie, today what movie stars portrayed country stars in movies? Sissy Spacek as Loretta Lynn in "Coal Miners Daughter", Jessica Lange as Patsy Cline in "Sweet Dreams", Richard Thomas as Hank Williams Jr. in "Living Proof - The Hank Williams Jr. Story" please sure to check out

Listening to WBKR as I always do, this morning I heard the new duet from Brad Paisley & Carrie Underwood "Remind Me" it got me to thinking about all the great duet partners over the years like Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn,  Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton,  George Jones & Tammy Wynette, Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson,  Alan Jackson & Jimmy Buffet and so many more!
