This is going on in a part of the world you probably didn't even know existed before reading this article, and would probably will never visit anyway, out of fear that your boat might take a wrong turn and fall
off the edge of the «flat» earth on the way over (I'm assuming that if you intend to fly over, you'll just end up spending the entire the entire time
at your
local airport staring in amazement
at the moving sidewalk).
The most prominent characters include Haven Hamilton (Henry Gibson), a socially conservative, arrogant country music star; Linnea Reese (Lily Tomlin), a gospel singer and mother of two deaf children; Del Reese (Ned Beatty), her lawyer husband and Hamilton's legal representative, who works as the
local political organizer for the Tea Party - like Hal Philip Walker Presidential campaign; Opal (Geraldine Chaplin), an insufferably garrulous and pretentious BBC Radio reporter on assignment in Nashville, or so she claims; talented but self - involved sex - addict Tom Frank (Keith Carradine), one - third of a moderately successful folk trio who's anxious to launch a solo career; John Triplette (Michael Murphy), the duplicitous campaign consultant who condescendingly tries to secure top Nashville stars to perform
at a nationally - syndicated campaign rally; Barbara Jean (Ronee Blakley), the emotionally - fragile, beloved Loretta Lynn - like country star recovering from a burn accident; Barnett (Allen Garfield), Barbara Jean's overwhelmed manager - husband; Mr. Green (Keenan Wynn), whose never - seen ailing wife is on the same hospital ward as Barbara Jean; groupie Martha (Shelley Duvall), Green's niece, ostensibly there to visit her ailing aunt but so personally irresponsible that she instead spends all her time picking up men; Pfc. Glenn Kelly (Scott Glenn), who claims his mother saved Barbara Jean's life but who mostly seems obsessed with the country music star; Sueleen Gay (Gwen Welles), a waitress longing for country music fame, despite her vacuous talent; Bill and Mary (Allan F. Nicholls and Cristina Raines), the other two - thirds of Tom's folk act, whose ambition overrides constant personal rancor; Winifred (Barbara Harris), another would - be singer - songwriter, fleeing to Nashville from her working - class husband, Star (Bert Remsen); Kenny Frasier (David Hayward), a loner who rents a room from Mr. Green and carries around a violin case; Bud Hamilton (Dave Peel), the gentle, loyal son of the abrasive Hamilton; Connie White (Karen Black), a glamorous country star who is a last - minute substitute for Barbara Jean
at the Grand Old Opry; Wade Cooley (Robert DoQui), a cook
at the
airport restaurant where Sueleen works as a waitress and who tries unsuccessfully to convince her that she has no talent; and the eccentric Tricycle Man (Jeff Goldblum), who rides around in a three - wheel motorcycle, occasionally interacting with the other characters, showing
off his amateur magic tricks, but who has no dialogue.
