I've been to 2 shows at the Grand Ole Opry off Briley Parkway, including one with an appearance by the Charlie Daniels Band.  Also saw one show at the Ryman Auditorium in Downtown Nashville in December where Kelsea Ballerini performed.

I once saw Cocaine Bear: The Opera. Does that count?

I accept and respect your identity as long as it's not dumb shit like "identifying as a vaccinated attack helicopter".

I was born and mostly raised in Nashville but my family mostly didn't listen to country music and I have never been to a performance of the Opry.  However, my high school graduation ceremony back in the 90's was at the Grand Ole Opry House.  This was when Opryland was still a thing.

I have a photo with the REAL Cocaine Bear taxidermy in Lexington, KY!
