I think more of the current country singers are accepting of homosexuality than aren’t. Didn’t Carrie Underwood support homosexual marriage a few years back? Rather disappointing, but the pressure is great.

Country music died years ago. I wouldn’t walk across the street to see the current “country” acts today. Murder on Music Row said it all. Just put Nashville on the list of cowardly ninnies that have been taken over by “progressives”.

Owen speaks of the sort of things that would suggest my family is morally beneath his and uses language that has a profoundly negative impact upon young people all across this country,’ Huckabee wrote.

How it should be!

“...but Owen said that Huckabee has made it clear that his family is not welcome.”

I think it was made clear he doesn’t welcome Huckabee.

Huckabee is the one being un welcomed and cast out.

I’m stuck listening to the old, traditional country music from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and some 80’s. Same with pop and rock and roll. I don’t even know how to describe this stuff they play today. I just know I don’t like it and I’m not going to listen to it.

You’re right for the most part, but Country Music today ain’t the country I grew up with.

Good song by a great representative of real country music, George Jones,

The fag side of “nashville” shows its a@@. Literally. All the little fags who graduate from vanderbilt and think they can become a “country” star (whose fan base consists of gay country disco leather clubs). And let’s not forget the kerfuffle with Dolly Parton’s publicist and a “power broker” so called, who likes young potential cowboy “hat acts” and shut down his operation when outed as a near pedo. No kidding.

Nashville is a long way from music of our Country. It is a catchment for those who couldn’t “make it” in NY and LA, and that is saying something. A town that spawned Miley Cyrus (trailer white trash teen porn country “star”, even her daddy billy ray is amazingly ashamed), and Taylor Swift (boring teenybop chick music). And a place constantly looking for a real male country act. They’ve had them and rejected them in bigger venues: acts like Josh Turner. A lot has gone down hill since Johnny Cash died, and of course Chet Atkins. Been tough on the country males, the real ones.I mean really— Justin Timberlake, the lone supposed survivor “man” from the all boy band promoter to “country” star. There is a not so underground of these fakes. Hard to break them and get rid of them. CMA is a joke.

NRA hosts and has hosted major country acts, regularly- so naturally the queer lefties would not like that.

Good for Huckabee. He said thanks, but no thanks for a title, and a position that was primarily a hobby to him. Any BS that went with the title made the position less than worthwhile.

Meanwhile a homo has succeeded in reinforcing societal perceptions of homo ilk.

Country music died years ago. I have not listened to new music in thirty years. I walk into my hardware-feed store and it is playing. I said, What in the world is that noise!

Give me some BOB WILLS and SPADE COOLEY! Country music began a slow death beginning in the 1960s.
I got some great old 1950s music from the British archive of country music. Why is the best country music archived in Britain?

Well, we'll soon find out if all of Nashville has gone "Broke-back Mountain".
