The new ones aren’t making real country music because they have no respect for the traditions of country music and its style of creativity. I sometimes wonder if they have ever listened to real country music. The better contemporary singers and songwriters can make something new that still sounds like country music because they do respect the traditions. While on the road a few years back I picked up a great country station out of St. Louis and heard a band called Porter Union. I thought for sure they were from the past and I had somehow missed them, but it turns out they are a young married couple just starting out. They have some good stuff.
They can make it and call it country, but they can’t force me to buy it or listen to it, so if I’m a fan of country music, is this junk actually country?
George Jones asked “who’s gonna fill their shoes”. The answer seems to be, nobody.
Just like Rush.
Unfortunately, we can’t anymore.
Adapt to what?
Being ‘woke’? Making it into something that is no longer country music?
CM can take a hike....pussy boys and ballsy girls ...million dollar fake country stars......
I was telling some of my Country Music friends the other day that some artist should take a stab at an anti cancel culture song to memorialize Dr Seuss. Quite a few nods of heads. Btw, I guest sing with a country band that plays a bunch of Merle Haggard, George Jones, Waylon and Willie, Marty Robbins, and Johnny Rodriguez songs.
Get woke, go broke.

Chris Stapleton sure sounds like “old” country. Mostly acoustic.
State laws.
I’ll stick with music from the BOB WILLS AND THE TEXAS PLAYBOYS era. Country music for the last forty years has been trash.
And Trump
Never heard of this "Little Nas" artist. Sounds more like rap than country to me.
Like I said, I listen to a lot of country music so would definitely expect to have heard something from Little Nas if he was the big country star he is touted to be in this article.
And now for something completely different......
Sneedville, Hancock County Tennessee........MELLUNGEONS
When thinking of racism, it could be argued that Sneedville Tennessee and Hancock County were populated as a result of acute racism.
Hancock County is principally known for the abundance of Melungeon families there. Many believe that the ridges of the East Tennessee Counties of Hancock and Claiborne were the last redoubt of Melungeon families hounded from their lands to the east.
Wallen is not a Melungeon name and it can be gathered that a Wallen was in racial conflict with Melungeon folks their whole lives. Since as a Wallen, he was not a KnotHead, he was discriminated against
Giving a cherry two thumbs up to the state reaching into private property to regulate victimless behavior is what gave baker’s problems with certain wedding cakes. It’s come full circle.
Bad rock with a fiddle.
100%
Granted, I don't listen to much country music any more because it's mostly crap. Still, if these two guys were at the top of the genre I think I would have at least heard of them.
You are so completely wrong and I will tell you why.
Do you understand the meaning of A4:S2:C1 or the 9th Amendment as to what were those other rights retained by the people at the time either were ratified?
First off these two passages serve a similar purpose and refer to the same thing.
People have acted like A4:S2:C1 means merely that citizens in one state are treated the same in any other states but that is somewhat of a misconstruction.
What it actually says is: The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.
“Privileges and Immunities”, capitalized to indicate it refers to a specific body of such (which is in contrast to “privileges or immunities” in the 14th Amendment that referred to such as may be by specific enumeration by federal statue made up later), is a reference to the rights, the literal Privileges and Immunities that existed among all the several States that ratified the Constitution at the time they ratified it.
It is in essence a command to keep doing what you already have all been doing, don’t start disparaging THOSE rights. Here English Common Law and even — because of how our nation came to be — Natural Law also enters into it as helping determine what are those “P&I” (which again as a matter of the source for them are distinct from “poi” in the 14th) but I don’t want to bog things down too much aside from the mention.
Similarly, as the article only mentions the States, the 9th Amendment speaks of rights retained ... which logically can only be the same body of Privileges and Immunities because there was no other such body of rights retained among the several States that ratified than those same P&I.
It goes without saying that the 9th, by the very terms of the preamble of the Bill of Rights, addresses and limits the federal government.
Now, what ARE those rights is a long read ... but what are NOT those rights is easier to consider.
Simply, anything that was illegal among any or all of the several States that ratified the Constitution and the Amendment cannot be considered a “right retained” ... and that would include any claimed “right” for homosexual acts to be legal at all.
Even as the right to engage in commerce, operate a business, etc WERE and ARE among the rights retained.
So legally there is no equivalence under the Constitution between faggotry of all sorts and operating a business ... one is simply not a right while the other is.
Moreover your assertion that faggotry is victimless is also in error. All the queers running amuck that we see in the culture now were inherent outcomes of legalization of homosexuality, which is a manifest evil. Everything from perversion of the idea of marriage, to transgenderism to incidents like drag queen story time for kids is an expression of that evil. And in nor only makes victims, in advancing further corruptions it will only make more and more victims as time goes on.
Lawrence v Texas was in 2003 ... the speed with which the poofters and (more significantly) their allies have accelerated defilement of the culture is amazing ... and you say it’s victimless?
Homosexual acts should have always remained illegal. Everywhere.
Yep
