Known as the "King of Country," Austin City Limits 2021 Festival headliner George Strait is selling his enormous San Antonio castle. So if you've got $7.5 million to spare and have ever wanted to get out of Austin, now is your moment.

The Santa Fe-style compound sits on 12.2 private acres in the elite Dominion enclave and was originally listed for a steep $10 million in 2018, dropping by just over a million in 2019 and was listed again for 75% of the original price in February.

Heh, that base line is pretty wild and unexpected.

But, you do realize you just admitted to liking a country song, right?

Yeah. That falls in my conveniently carved "exception" hole. That exception also has stuff like Conway Twitty's "Tight Fittin' Jeans" (doesn't impress at karaoke like I think it should) and Shelly West's "Jose Cuervo".

"Jose Cuervo" is a classic!

I grew up on country, my dad was the GM for one of the more famous country radio stations across the USA, KOKE-FM Austin.

WT.... how could he do that and have 3-4 Q smokehouses ? Can't spin records when you're flippin' side of beef and tending embers

I believe that Michael Nesmith wrote this. I know he recorded it on one of his solo albums, but I like this earlier version--by an underrated group--better.
