One of their first songs was played on the movie "Urban Cowboy"

I've never even seen them in concert! :( I sure hope I can see them on their last tour! :)

I was sad to hear they're retiring, but I guess they can't sing forever! :sad: They make such beautiful music together. :sad:

I don't know many bands that have managed to stay together as long as they have. . . . . and still get along! :p

I love Alabama and like many millions of fans I was so very shocked to hear that. I hope I get to see them on last time before they are done. :)

Besides, it's much more humane than poison.
