Country music fans do live in real America, the other pop music is pretty much for perverts. Classical is of course in its own category.

"Seems like being divisive while the industry around you crumbles is a poor decision."

Interesting concept. Did anyone think to mention this to Hollywood when they were making all those "We're the Bad Guys in Iraq" movies that lost so much money?

What other genre of music celebrates traditional American activities and the men and women of the Armed Forces that help protect that way of life? What other genre of music celebrates and mourns those who die in that cause?

If one’s music casts hate and disparages the USA then the one can go to hell.

IMO of course.

Hey Josh!

Take a look at the last national county by county presidential election map.

City people aren't patriotic.

No. Contemporary country music is syrupy sweet and soulless pap to make Wal Mart checkout clerks feel good about themselves.

Give me classic country (Marty Robbins, George Jones, even Jim Reeves) over the crap that comes out of Nashville today. And I wish ALL musicians would STFU about their politics. They all need to listen to Johnny Cash's "One on the Right is On the Left."

Those who refuse to support and defend a state have no
claim to protection by that state.
Killing an anarchist or a pacifist should not be defined
as “murder” in a legalistic sense.
The offense against the state, if any, should be “Using
deadly weapons inside city limits,” or “Creating a
traffic hazard,” or “Endangering bystanders,” or other
misdemeanor.

That is a deeper truth than most Liberals are capable of fathoming.

But it makes perfect sense....how can one rail against the country on one hand then expect to enjoy its freedoms and expect its protection on the other hand?

Oh, yeah, I forgot, Liberal = Hypocrite.

Give you a hint sweetheart. This country is built on the backs of proud rednecks who live where there isn’t even a Wal-Mart.

Perhaps, but the freedom to inbreed is perhaps best suppressed.

They can take the boy out of the country but not the country out of the boy.

Am I wrong or isn’t it correct that the number one radio format in America is Country Music? If that’s the case, that means that people who could get all choices for free and choose what they want most behind the locked doors and privacy of an automobile choose country music.

If America is about democracy, the right liberty to make self determining choices and the true pursuit of happiness then I’d say that the people have spoken and country music is not only American, it is obviously quintessentially American. What the critic doesn’t like is that the freedom and popularity of country music doesn’t fit tidely with his own world view. I suppose Kanye West would be his choice instead.

Folks in the beer joints like new singalong song which is called “Find A Place To Hide and F##k Yourself”, but I think the title’s too long for radio.

I love Classical music! Mozart! Hayden! Verdi! Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys!

Nothing comes up on Google, which is probably as it should be.
