In Nashville, veteran Grand Ole Opry members led by Charlie Louvin and Stonewall Jackson claim an unwritten pact promised them a home at the Opry as long as they could perform. Jackson, 74, has filed a $20 million age discrimination suit against Gaylord Entertainment and Opry manager Pete Fisher, while Gaylord denies obligations and notes the Opry remains evolving with both veteran and contemporary stars.
