Country music could go from a major industry to a minor footnote in the span of two or three years.

Country music died when its male performers started wearing earrings.

New country is the Old Pop.

Pop is usually leftist.

After New Wave and Punk killed Country Rock and Pop Rock, Country gradually filled the void: melodic, accessible, with drums.

It thus became mainstream, and leftist.

I guess so. I find myself increasingly going back to my youth and finding bands I did not listen to much. Several months ago I got on to Delaney & Bonnie, I found an album they did live back in late 1969 and early 1970 On Tour in England. The lineup was Delaney & Bonnie, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Leon Russell, Rita Coolidge, and others. That was fantastic. So I am back to looking in the past for good stuff as today’s music is terrible. I am sure there are some good bands out there but radio and such being what it is today hard to find them.

I could live this stuff if CMT never promoted Halloween or Valenswines Day (i hate those holidays). CMT doesn’t endorse population control, one-two child policies or hard drugs being legalized/decriminalized. CMT isn’t that far left. If they supported drugs and population control, CMT fans would riot and hang the CEO of CMT by his neck
