In response to the devastating floods that have plagued the City of Nashville and Middle Tennessee, the Country Music Association has announced that 50 percent of the net proceeds of 2010 CMA Music Festival will be donated to the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee for flood relief. This is in addition to CMA’s already established annual donation of 50 percent of the net proceeds to Metro Nashville Public Schools for music education through the Keep the Music Playing program. In total, 100 percent of the net proceeds of the event will be given to benefit Nashville’s public school students and Middle Tennessee families in need.

Looks like a lot of them are stepping up to help out. We’ve not seen any of the music stars that frequent Memphis step up yet that I know of.
Paisley may be an obama supporter (which I was not aware of), but I don’t think he loathes the USA, like the dixie chickens do.
