[Roy] Orbinson was deadly serious--no pollywog and no fledgling juvenile. There wasn't anything else on the radio like him. I'd listen and wait for another song, but next to Roy the playlist was strictly dullsville...gutless and flabby. It all came at you like you didn't have a brain. Outside of maybe George Jones, I didn't like country music either. Jim Reeves and Eddy Arnold, it was hard to know what was country about this stuff. All the wildness and weirdness had gone out of country music. Elvis Presley. Nobobdy listend to him either. -- from Chronicles, Volume One

Was this comment about a certain period of time? I'm surprised that he doesn't mention Johnny Cash, who he seemed to idolize.
He wouldn't say anything bad about Johnny, even when he was riding in a limo drunk with John Lennon, about to puke.
