Aint that the Dyksie Chicks? ;)
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].
