“most small town country people are David Allen Coe’s “poor white trash.”
Seriously, why do you think it’s come to that. I’ve decided to accept the tattoos and piercings if they are good, hard working. They might look back on those body alterations as a mistake.
Are these those on the government dole capable of having a job?

“People engaged in homosexuality as a way of life stake their entire being around their sexual practice. Everything else is secondary, and they hold a deep and bitter hatred of anyone who will not accept the practice of homosexuality.When I learn someone practices homosexuality I then understand their bitterly unbalanced aggressiveness.”
Exactly.

Glad to see he took the high road, after the musician took the low one.

yeah, I listen to country once in awhile, but most of the songs seem to be about promoting alcoholism and the consequences of wearing beer googles. LOL.
There is on offensive song whereby a country girls marries an oil man, who later beats her, who she later kills. Must be some feminist that wrote it, because I can’t help but not feel sorry for some dame that married purely for money, without considering the character of the person whom she married.

I don’t know but like me, my 12 year old girl, just loves music from the 80s. I guess it was just fun and entertaining music. These days it all is just so boring, especially the garbage they call hip hop these days.

Supply and demand of jobs? It is a depressed area.
You drive through some of the little neighborhoods with little 50 year old brick houses. Every block you see a couple of well kept nice little homes among the "poor white trash ones." I think old people generally live in those. What does that say? I don't know.
Our place is out of town... in cattle country where everyone owns a lot of land etc.

Illicit love affairs. parties and drinking have from Jimmie Rodgers always been staples of country music. It’s just that from the earliest country through the ‘50s, country had a lot more western, blues and swing tinge to it.
Even Garth Brooks in the ‘90s would do Night Rider’s Lament with a yodel.

Here’s an idea. Before anyone buys a song or tickets to a concert, write to the artist and ask them to disavow this BS for the CMA...

"'Owen also objected to the former governors involvement with the National Rifle Association calling it harmful and damaging.'"
That explains the timing.
"'If the industry doesnt want people of faith or who hold conservative and traditional political views to buy tickets and music, they should be forthcoming and say it,' Huckabee wrote."
That trend has been obvious since the '70s, but they still want you to buy tickets to support their social and political agenda. Many of the more stubborn fans are simply intentionally inattentive, or they would go back to traditional local bands with what many are now calling folk or alternative music.
A little tip: stop competing for the most extreme twang in vocals. A healthy human mind can only stand so much. Besides, western musicians in the distant past didn't try to sound like that.

Music has become Pedophile Pop. Breathless, orgasmic, little girl sounding technobeats.

However, a mob of social justice warriors, led by openly
gay homosexual country music executive Jason Owen, protested...
HOMOSEXUAL, because there's nothing GAY about it.

I dont remember the last time I listened to a complete wailing song.They were complaining about that many, many years ago...
In every other song that I've heard lately
some fella gets shot
And his baby and his best friend both die with him
as likely as not
In half of the other songs Some Cat's crying or ready to die
We're losin' most of our happy people And I'm a wonderin' why
Let's think about livin'
Let's think about lovin'
Let's think about the whoopin' and hoppin and boppin'
and the lovie, lovie dovin'
Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin'
And the shooting and the dying
And the fellow with a switchblade knife
Let's think about livin'
Let's think about life

For old time sake.Just for old time's sake

Pretend that you're still mine,
just for old times sake.

Keyboards, no piano. Playing loud all the time. No memorable lyrics. Marble mouth singers.
