My antennae first went up with the "Earl" song and video...straight out of "women's studies" and only slighty funny...

Then there was all the crossover talk and more BS from Natalie's gator about "changing the face" of country music ..with CMT's help.....didn't much care for that either.

Then last fall, once again Nat's gator flops open to disparage Toby Keith's wonderful patriotic song as "rednecky" etc..that Bruce Springsteen's smarmy number was better for post 9-11..that steamed me but she actually got thru that unscathed.

The the big shoe dropped in London...nuff said on that already.

Excellent point. This was just the proverbial "last straw." Every time she spoke out and got away with it, she got bolder.

These "chicks" aren't interested in country music. They want to change it to be something else altogether. It's an internal attack on the values of the "rednecks" and "conservatives."

Yep...anyone following them could tell they were out of touch with their audience.

Truth is....a number of CMT videos and CMT's (Viacom) programming is way PC for their audience today. Some braniac from MTV or VH-1 is working overtime to ruin CMT as well.

This is not to say that most Music Row execs here who are predominately career women (except for the topseats) are not Dems as well...they are...I live here...I know a number of them.
