Maybe they think we should be more like Mexico, which does such a great job of protecting their citizens.
No wait, 17,000 murders in Mexico this year already. Maybe not.
Never heard of them
Harpies in hysterics
Ok...tell them they cannot have armed security at their concerts.
Some of the “Red Dirt” “Outlaw” country music is pretty good, though most of it is closer to old school Southern Rock.
Bands like Whiskey Meyers, Reckless Kelly, Ryan Bingham, Cody Jinks, The Steeldrivers etc. are pretty good to listen to.
But they definitely are not Johnny Cash or Merle Haggard.
I don’t get it... /S
Who?
All the arts have been. At this point, I consider all that is good in films, music, etc has already happened.
What does David Allan Coe have to say about this?
Where are you getting those stats? The road deaths one in particular is kind of tough to believe.
Looking at it now yeah. Literally just typed US traffic deaths in google and just copy pasted the first thing that popped up without thinking about it. As far as I can tell the number is closer to 100 per day

Morbidly interesting statistic
Deaths in Vietnam War 58,000
We were losing almost 80%-90% of that amount in highway fatalities every year of the years we were in Vietnam.
No not really, Brad Paisley, Taylor Swift and others like them are not welcome any more. They are totaly Lefties. Who crave attention as their careers are falling off and being replaced by the next generation.
The older artist are smart and keep out of politics. Gatlins totally support the 2nd Amendment. An American with a Remmington https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWtRpJucx3U
TANK THEM Kacey Musgraves and Maren Morris
Grammy Award-winning artists Kacey Musgraves and Maren Morris
There’s yur problem. Someone thinks Kacey & Maren are country singers. They perform pop songs. Female country singers are Dolly, Loretta, Crystal, and the like.
Who, What? more lib rats regurgitating the narrative.
What an incel-lent band
Also to say Artists in the title implying some huge cohort
when its 2 bints
Those who can look into proverbial mirrors (when forced to) and forget the sort of men that they are are also rife on the Left.
There’s a line in this one Freedom Toons where a trio of Leftists brings back some US Soldiers from WW2, from Normandy itself, where one of the radicals says that they need the soldiers who fought real Nazis to convince people that they should condone violence against those that stand in the way of the social order the radicals seek to impose.
One soldier says: “Ah, and how exactly are they the Nazis?”
“Because I call them Nazis.” one clueless Lefty says.
Whereupon a soldier reminds him that they also say a man can be a woman.
Now, in the cartoon, as it fades out, the Leftists are slack jawed in realization but in the real world they should be far more immune to seeing themselves.
As I’ve written elsewhere in a bit of comedy I posted: “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Hate Crime has no known side effects that you cannot blame on the bad people.”
Being made uncomfortable by being shown the truth about yourself is simply one more thing to blame on the bad people.
