What happens when a concert culture journalist gets backstage at one of the most legendary venues in America and starts wondering if she’s seeing too much?
On a backstage tour of the Grand Ole Opry, I found myself caught between wanting to see everything and wondering whether pulling back the curtain takes away some of the mystery that makes live music so powerful. Then I stepped onto that famous wooden circle and the story became unexpectedly personal.
My parents had been in this same room decades before me, young and dating, long before I existed. Suddenly, I wasn’t only standing inside country music history. I was standing inside a piece of my own.
An audio field note about the Grand Ole Opry, the strange privilege of going backstage, and how one venue can collapse time across artists, fans and generations.
