I'm a little bit country!

When I found out today about Gene Autry and what he did following President Franklin D. Roosevelt's speech, I thought to myself " What a great individual!" The reason I say this is because when Pearl Harbor happened everyone was in shock and didn't know what to do. Gene Autry proved to Americans that there was no stopping "America's Tune." Also Gene Autry was the stepping stone for your typical "Country Man." His imaged helped drive the popularity and culture of country music. I really feel that if it weren't for Gene Autry and the Grand Ole Opry, there would be no country music.
