Country stars distance themselves from the National Rifle Association
BBC News ^ | October 7, 2017 | bbc

It's after Stephen Paddock killed 58 and injured hundreds of country music fans when he opened fire at the Route 91 Harvest festival in Las Vegas.

Traditionally country music and gun culture have had a strong friendship.

With the genre even having its own division of the rifle association called NRA Country which sponsors tours and artists.

But now platinum-selling duo Florida Georgia Line and chart topper Thomas Rhett both have disappeared from the NRA Country website this week.

Say what you may, but when the smear merchants went after him the day after BOR was fired, Hannity took them on and they backed down. When so many shyed away with the establishment against Trump, Hannity did not waver. He actually turned it up and went straight at the establishment.

I hadn’t heard that but I’ve got to say that the late Mr. Petty had a point.

I can’t stand their songs. I hope Hannity cans them.

Please link abortion .. the killing of millions of innocent babies ... to the left’s gun confiscation. They kill babies and then feign concern over 59 deaths at the hand of a madman.

Call them on the willful murder of babies... they have no qualms over killing who they deem unimportant ... make them defend killing the innocent before they can say they care what a madman does.

It does not add up.

My playlist is Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Waylon Jennings, George Jones, Tompall Glaser, with s sprinkling of Tammy, Loretta, Marty Robbins, Lefty Frizzell, Hank Jr., Alan Jackson and Travis Tritt. George Strait has a great voice and presence but he sings mostly for the ladies. Except for Amarillo by Morning. One of my all time favourites.

Who’s going to fill their shoes.

Florida Georgia Line had a song called this is how we roll (Hannity used it in his intro), complete with autotune and some rapped vocals.When Boston country station 101.7 the Bull debuted, the song got overplayed

Yikes-—I am very familiar with all of them but Tompall Glaser doesn’t ring a bell at all.

A buddy of Willie and Waylon and a partner in the famous “Wanted: The Outlaws” album. Maybe not with the name, but he has two classic tunes that are both despised by humourless feminists. I play the second one when I feel in the mood to torment my wife :)

“T for Texas”

“Put another log on the fire”

Well, George Jones asked the question, “Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes?”

Well, here’s the answer.

Obviously with Rap, AutoTune and HipHop references to how “we roll” this group has to cuck out...

I don’t know Country at all I didn’t even know the guy with Peyton Manning in the Nationwide commercial until I noticed they put his name in.

However God, Guns, etc, why on earth in the Age of Trump would anyone feel the need to Virtue Signal? On my GoyBook, I say inappropriate stuff all the time now. If Country Singers feel the need to go full fag, that’s just sad.

” I play the second one when I feel in the mood to torment my wife :)”

I’m a “she” so,naturally,that’s the one that I’m going to check out first.

(Not a feminist either——I was a fifties type “housewife” and loved it.)
