How right you are. The "reverse blacklist" against conservatives and believing Christians is far stronger than the 1950s era blacklist against Communists and their sympathizers. The only media venues where conservatives and believing Christians dominate are in talk radio and country music. Leftist led boycotts invariably fail when they go against persons whose market is supported by conservatives, most notably the boycotts against Rush Limbaugh, Chick-Fil-a, and Duck Dynasty. Conversely, ask the Dixie Chicks how well their careers went after they denounced George W. Bush in England.
Indeed!
I got my first guitar for Christmas 1963 (Two months before the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show), and so, for a budding guitar player (11 years old) I naturally gravitated towards “Folk” music. I liked Dylan and learned all his early songs. The only Pete Seeger song I used to sing was “Where Have All The Flowers Gone?” and just by accident found out that Seeger had stolen the song almost verbatim from a Don Cossack Folk Song! Then, there was that time when he tried to cut off Dylan’s electricity at the Newport Folk Festival! I have had no use for Seeger for at least a HALF CENTURY!!!!
