I don’t doubt it.
But mark my words, the time is coming when a hippie looking pair or group of girls are going to come out of Nashville, out and proud of their lesbianism and daring anyone in country music to call them out. Their music will probably be mediocre but they’re be huge stars. Gare-on-tee.

Good point. They proved that Nashville wasn’t ready for it. But the day’s still coming.. I’d bet $ on it.
As for socially & fiscally conservative rockers making it big? I think cheaps is right. Even if they were boosted by Sean Vanity or Limbaugh, it would be a constant uphill battle in a sea of haters. Self-described “tolerant” haters. :) There already is a Christian rock genre, so [shrug].

Yer prolly right.
Lots of conservative views get out in rock but it rarely hits main stream.
Punk was full of them. Sex Pistols is an example.
Though they were more anarchist than conservative

yah I agree. Whoever is ‘in charge’ — they’re against that. Allegiances switch when the power structure shifts.
kinda sad, huh

I’m willing to bet any conservative rock band would be a special kind of awful. On the other hand liberal country works better. Hell Steve Earle has been doing it for a while and give me him over pretty much any other country artist any day of the week.

Isn’t U.S. Blues kinda just lefty rockers singing lefty stuff?

You’re probably right. Hate the man/power-to-the-people protest stuff just doesn’t go with conservatism very well, and rock has that chaotic vibe whether the song’s about politics or not.
