Country Music Trio Lady Antebellum Gets a Brutal Lesson When You Kowtow to the Left-Wing Mob

I was just busting their chops. I worked in a pet store for a couple of years that had its radio tuned to a country station. I listened to the same damn 20 songs over and over and over and over and over and over again day after day after day after day including Lady Antebellum.

That cured of me of listening to country music.

When you kneel to progressives, you put your head in easy kick range.

> Garth Brooks killed country music. <

You betcha. Brooks sings pop songs. But since he wears a cowboy hat, he must be country, right?. Thank goodness my streaming music service (AccuRadio) has quite a few classic country channels.

SiriusXM counts listeners in real time

Huh? Maybe on their computer interface, but I thought their satellite receivers were receive only thus could not provide rating information.

What a bunch of dummies. All they had to do is try to lay low, wait for this latest round of race hysteria to level off. But no, they had to march right on out and do an "us too!". Painted themselves into a corner on this.

And who now dares to say the left is losing? Other than the diamond in the rough, PDJT, they have this victory locked up.

"I propose they re-name to 'The White Slaves'."

The name "White Lightning" certainly wouldn't fit this group of progressive powderpuff panderers, but that name has already been taken anyway, by at least a couple of groups.

      "White Lightning" - 1

      "White Lightning" - 2

“No they won’t.”

I give you NASCAR.

[Bell Bouy II]

Not me, like their songs and style.
Never bought any of their stuff never will.

Wont deprive myself of what I enjoy cause someone else is an asshole

[A_Former_Democrat]

I do the same.

And not just for country stations.

Most people now stream Sirius/XM over Internet or mobile data networks. I've been a Sirius subscriber since the beginning (and years before it merged with XM). I still remember those early years with that ridiculous antenna setup, trying to find the right angle and losing the signal whenever the earth wasn't tilted (towarads the satellites) just right. Even with a home receiver, you had to hang a contraption out the window and get it in just the right spot.

But now getting the satellite signal only matters when I'm in the car and even in the car, I can stream through my mobile device and send it to my car radio. It's more reliable to stream in the car over 4G because you aren't losing the signal everytime you go under an overpass or under a canopy of trees.

At home, I stream Sirius/XM fulltime over my home wi-fi and hardly bother listening live anymore as I can get all my favorite shows on demand. So Sirius/XM must be getting some really good user data now.

When 5G goes mainstream, I doubt that anybody will bother trying to receive Sirius/XM with the satellites.

Note to Virtue Signalers everywhere......if you bow down to Political Correctness, you are NOT Country. Take your schtick to one of those crappy Rap stations and what your career circle the bowl.

[Howie66]

But it’s NOT Country.

[A_Former_Democrat]

But hey, that’s never “offensive”

Nor is calling someone a “redneck

Or “white trash”

Or ridiculing farmers, small town folks

Or disguising bigotry as “Affirmative Action” Or “Diversity”

[A_Former_Democrat]

Yeah. And of course she had to bring her own race-centric BS into it Instead of just talking about the intellectual property infringement

Did she even have her name trademarked or music copyrighted? If not then she’s a fool also

Just not as big of one

[dfwgator]

You betcha. Brooks sings pop songs. But since he wears a cowboy hat,

I remember when Howard Stern would call Brooks' hat a "N---er Hatin' Hat"

[the OlLine Rebel]

And I wouldn’t know this black Lady A at all. Funny her actual name is “White”.

Sounds like she doesn’t have any deadly serious career. So maybe she’s known in black circles in Seattle. Why should Lady Antebellum know about her? Frankly at least I know of the latter country act.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Shania was hot late ‘90s/2000.

Country was good largely up until 2010. Now it is mostly rock/rap variant.

[dfwgator]

They’re both idiots, who deserve each other.
