On Youtube, one of the suggestions on the side, for some reason, was a Dwight Yoakam video. I can't think of anyone who changes from a mealy mouthed bald guy into a (country) cool guy with just a hat and an attitude.

Pretty common in country music for some reason. Find a pic of Kenny chesney or jimmy buffet without a hat on, similar efffect

Zac Brown turns from a chunky dude with a beard and a knit cap into a chunky dude with a knit cap that kicks ass when he gets on stage with Nirvana's former drummer at yet another country music awards circle jerk:

yeah, i know, it's not totally relevant to the thread, but this video contains the only good "country" band out there today and the most talented musician in rock right now..

the best part, tho, is the crowd reaction shots at the end, where the country stars realize that they need to step up their game if they don't want their fans to realize they are a bunch of phonies.

In reply to novaderrik:

I disagree. It is completely relative. I think that some people actually carry some weight on physical items to transform them. They may have two personalities. One, a quiet and normal self, and the other, a star.

Its a put on your hat and go to work, kind of thing.

So, if I understood the situation correctly, that was a song played at the Country Music Awards? Hairy RedSox looking guy may be a talented musician and ex-Nirvana guy may very well be a great drummer, but that was no country song. Not even close. At least most of those pop-country guys have the decency to wear large cowboy hats and sometimes even dinner plate sized belt buckles so we can get a visual clue that the pop-rock song they are playing is supposed to be country.

it aint "country" in the way Taylor Swift or any of the interchangeable "semi hot chick and 2 douchebag dudes" groups or the "metrosexual guy that sings with a twang" superstars that clutter the country scene these days.. but it does have some elements of old school country in it, mixed with some rock, some metal, and a little bit of everything else.. it's just good music played by a bunch of dudes that just love to jam and know they are lucky to be able to make a good living doing it, and really that's all that matters.

Kenny Rogers is on record saying he regrets his plastic surgery and doesn't recognize himself in the mirror. He made a bad decision due to vanity and has to live with it. Maybe Dolly put him up to it.
