00:01:19 - Two easy blocks away from Broadway.
00:01:28 And I'll point you,
00:01:30 when we get more events around there,
00:01:33 but mostly for big conventions
00:01:34 that would bring people from all around America to town.
00:01:37 Again, one of the big selling points of Nashville
00:01:40 is it's very centrally located
00:01:44 to a major population center.
00:01:47 So if you're all the way down in Miami
00:01:49 or all the way up in Boston,
00:01:51 you can be in Nashville in a flight
00:01:53 in about two to two and a half hours.
00:01:55 And that's where the majority
00:01:57 of the American population lives.
00:01:59 325 million people in the United States
00:02:03 and two thirds of those live probably
00:02:06 within a two hour flight,
00:02:08 three hour flight in Nashville.
00:02:11 In Nashville, Beale Street in Memphis
00:02:15 and Bourbon Street in New Orleans,
00:02:17 all three party streets.
00:02:19 And in terms of safety,
00:02:23 listen, don't carry your wallet in your back pocket.

00:19:35 - Los Angeles has long been a country music town.
00:19:48 From its history of the silver screen
00:19:50 with singing cowboys and cowgirls
00:19:52 to the days of the television show town hall party.
00:19:55 The way country music has informed all corners
00:19:57 of popular music and culture,
00:19:59 including rock and roll,
00:20:01 speaks to its unadorned heart.
00:20:03 I've lived it, all the way expressing my own voice
00:20:06 at the civil crossroads of where country music
00:20:09 and rock and roll reclaimed one another.
00:20:11 ♪ You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles ♪
00:20:19 A call came from the West.
00:20:21 I followed it as countless millions of others have.
00:20:25 Always full of promise,
00:20:27 we as Americans seem to continuously carry our dreams
00:20:30 to the edge of the continent.
00:20:32 A place where we believe all our best can be found.
00:20:35 For the past two centuries, Los Angeles
00:20:37 and the sounding heart of New California
00:20:39 has beckoned to the migrant as well as the risk taker.
00:20:43 There was gold there, land, money, and sun.
00:20:48 Then there was Hollywood.
00:20:51 Swimming pools, movie stars.
00:20:54 Music moves with people. It migrates.
00:20:57 And California has always been a hot crucible
00:20:59 for those bold enough to follow their desires and emotions.
00:21:03 Their music came with them.
00:21:05 It came first with Pioneers.
00:21:07 It came again with the Gold Rush.
00:21:09 The Dust Bowl carried that music
00:21:11 along the Tom Jode Road to California.
00:21:14 The Great Migration brought even more of it.
00:21:17 Folk, country, blues, bluegrass, gospel, jazz.
00:21:22 All of it seemed to travel toward the western sun.
00:21:25 As that music arrived, it also met Mexican music,
00:21:29 which had flourished here since the state was a Spanish colony.
00:21:32 It's in the American DNA.
00:21:34 Seeped from afar and melded into the experiment that is this nation.
00:21:39 Over time, it's borne witness to the pain of expansion
00:21:42 and its casualty, as well as exultation.
00:21:46 Carrying with it all the way, America's soul.
00:21:50 So when you think about this music,
00:21:52 try to consider its importance to America as a whole,
00:21:55 not just some strange moment of a cultural divide.
00:21:58 [music]
00:22:03 Country music is one of the Central American expressions
00:22:06 that holds our collective magic.
00:22:08 The mystical city of Los Angeles
00:22:10 was literally built on change and moving ground.
00:22:13 So it should be no surprise to anyone
00:22:15 that young musicians flocked here from everywhere in the 1960s.
00:22:19 They were drawn to it in the 1960s.
00:22:22 They were drawn by the call of the counterculture,
00:22:25 as well as the city's rise as a recording center.
00:22:28 And at that moment, the entire country seemed torn,
00:22:31 divided politically and culturally.
00:22:34 Violence sadly exploded in our streets.
00:22:37 Ironically, the young rock and rollers turned inward,
00:22:41 examining the nation and themselves through a rediscovery of folk music
00:22:45 with its songs full of tangible melody.
00:22:48 And be assured, that same reflection was felt nationwide.
00:22:53 A core group of district musicians
00:22:55 gravitated to Los Angeles and converged here in local clubs.
00:22:59 Places like the Ash Grove, the Troubadour, and the World Family.
00:23:04 Giving rise to bands like The Byrds,
00:23:07 with Chris Hillman, Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, and Gene Clark.
00:23:11 The cosmic cowboys of Buffalo Springfield,
00:23:14 with Neil Young, Stephen Stills, and Richie Fure.
00:23:18 There were also singers like Leather Ron Stout, with the Stone Ponies.
00:23:22 Those burgeoning country rockers,
00:23:24 leaned into the fiddle, mandolin, banjo, and pedal steel
00:23:28 with the passion and willfulness of a birch fern.
00:23:32 The table was certainly set for Graham Parsons and Emmylou Harris.
00:23:36 The polka arrived, and then the Eagles were born.
00:23:40 That sound would guide American popular music and culture
00:23:44 throughout the 70s and beyond.
00:23:46 Rooted in country instrumentation,
00:23:48 it reverberated through our radios in a way that no one could forget.
00:23:52 And you hear these influences everywhere in country music now.
00:23:55 In fact, if that music were being made today,
00:23:58 we'd simply call it country.
00:24:01 [music]
00:24:17 And then, there were those in the late 70s and the early 80s
00:24:22 who would find their specific path to continue to thrive.
00:24:25 That new category would take the music somewhere else.
00:24:28 The punk movement set the city aflame.
00:24:31 And in LA, it spawned an unlikely alliance among musicians
00:24:35 determined to once again explore country,
00:24:37 and unafraid to push the boundaries of it.
00:24:40 They delivered it with a brand new sense of urgency.
00:24:44 Witnessed acts as they became the news.
00:24:47 Witnessed the dills as they shaped fiction.

00:25:41 [music]
00:25:49 The music business and record business was constantly evolving.
00:25:52 So having somebody like Bliss on the screen.
