Dress Code Needed For Opry Performers?

My favorite dressed band of all time!

I just saw Rascal Flats on the Morning news program at a CMA thang. Now I don't like dress codes, but the mandoline player had on a pair of wasted looking jeans with some dumb looking patches here and there, I would not have even worn those jeans to high school? Dressing casual is one thing but why someone would dress like that on national T.V. is beyound me. If that is the look that is causing all the trouble, well I can see why now. He did look like a bum with no class, weird! No blue collar redneck that I know would look like that if they could help it, I mean, I just can't see George Strait in those kind of jeans even at his ranch.

I'm not much on glitz - don't like the open shirts with gold medallions that so many entertainers wear. I know it's just a matter of personal preference, but I really like the conservative, classy "cowboy" look. George Strait's look. Junior Knight always has that look, too. Almost looks like they get totally dressed, then Mamma has them lay down flat for the final starch and iron touch-up from head to toe. Love it!!
