You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

For the sake of continuity, I hope the fellas from the NE biopic can be retained for Bobby's series. Like him or not, his story is a very compelling one to dive into. His extremely successful solo stint, though tragically clipped short after a very strong follow-up ("Bobby") to the monster album everybody knows, is more than worthy of the movie treatment. A lot of people still aren't familiar with much of his backstory, even after the book.

The NE biopic was done well; it should be used as a template for other such shows in the future.
