Porter!

God bless the White Stripes. First, Jack White produces that wonderful Loretta Lynn album. Now, they invite Porter Wagoner to Madison Square Garden to open for them. How awesome is that.

I've never been the biggest Porter fan per se, but it's nice to see him get some hip cred in his late career. His biggest contribution was probably discovering Dolly Parton, but he has some good songs of his own. And of course, he's been host of the Opry for about 300 years.

I have to wonder what the young hipster White Stripes fans thought of this old country singer, complete with Nudie suit and with his name on his guitar neck, playing for them. Or what Porter thought.
