    I most definitely disagree with you about George Strait. I think he is underrated. They don't make music like his anymore.

    Now..., if you would've said U2 I would've agreed wholeheartedly.

    I can agree with your U2 take.

    George is good. I listen to him all the time. I just hate when people act like he is the only country artist ever to make a good song.

    You can add Sam's Restaurant in Fairfield to that list.

    Was very unhappy when I finally ate at Sam's a few years ago...the place is falling apart and it was on par with Lubys at best.

    Mary's..I think consistency is the issue...I have had it and it was one of the best..and then had it when it was very very meh.

    I have a buddy of mine who is from Ohio and is a fan of the only two sets of Buckeyes in the country. I don't pay Ohio State U much mind.

    The Pac-10 in general is entirely overrated.

    Haven't eaten at Mary's yet, so I have no opinion. It's on my bucket list if I'm ever that way. I can fix a mean CFS with gravy myself, so the bar is set.

    I've never heard of people saying George Strait is overrated unless they just don't like country music. I guess some people get carried away. (Why is "I Get Carried Away" playing in my head now?) George is certainly one of the best country artists ever, though. There's several very good artists out there nowadays. They are not really what I would call classic country, but good nonetheless.

    I love country music and have for 70 years but I agree that Strait though not grossly,is somewhat overrated. He does a good job with Texas Swing but not versatile enough for much else. One of the best ever? Probably not.

    Over 68 MILLION records (in the US alone), CDs, etc., tells otherwise, in my opinion. But..., being one of the best ever in his genre is a no brainer. His music is not all that for everyone. That's where opinions differ. If he wanted to "change" his signature style of music I'm pretty sure he could do it. I just don't think he ever really wanted to because of the success he has had, causing no need to.

    I like George's music, but I don't look at him any different than I would any other person. I don't idolize anybody, and honestly don't get how anybody does that.

    I agree U2 is way overrated! Can't comment on King George, don't listen to country music.
