I hate to tell you this, but before I could watch that wonderful video, I had to sit through an AARP ad, with some thug rapping. I kid you not! I couldn’t do it. Not even for the Possum.

Modern day country music, like all modern day music isn’t music at all...it’s just noise.

Country music...ain’t.

Lost its soul many years ago. Now this Sodomite-smooching country music industry is proud of that fact and shoving it in our faces, like so many other faggot-friendly businesses. F them.

Country music these days is mostly crap. Progressive country has run out of things to sing about and has no tunes to carry. I don’t enjoy a thing about it and said good bye a long time ago.

I agree with you 100%.   I enjoy various different kinds of country and popular music from many different "eras" and generations in the past, but all forms of current "music" just stink.   The latest generation seems to have lost all morality, decency, and common sense, and they also seem to be completely tone-deaf.

It looks more like grunge attire to me. I can see that any day under bridges.

Hank Williams is rolling over in his grave at 3500 rpm.

I’ve been waiting for NASCAR to announce the Stay Free Maxipad Minivan Series for some years now.

So is Hank Williams Jr, and he isn't even dead yet.

You saw this shift happening when Taylor Swift continued to be honored in country music despite not making country music anymore.

They were desperate to pull that demographic in.

Why do you think talent shows started getting guys like Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton?

They don’t care about their perspective. They care about their following and know if they can bring that audience to the mainstream, they can brainwash them.

Oddly enough, the guy who blasted Huckabee was (at least at one time) a consultant for the Hank Williams Sr. estate and Johnny Cash Trust.

Stop it! Just stop it!!! Stop saying “gay” when you really mean “homosexual.”

I much prefer the phrase sexual deviant.

Most of today’s country music is really just very bad southern rock

I thought it sounds like old 80’s pop. Especially that last Keith Urban Carrie Underwood song

Country music died sometime ago. What is being passed off as Country music today is really bad. The singers override their voices with loud, digital sound so that they don't have to be heard. They can't be understood because of the background noise.

Question: Where have all the voices gone? Like Eddie Arnold, Johnny Cash and all the others.

It started going downhill when this jerk off came on the scene.

Absolutely!

I’ll also add that they want to popularize country music with mainstream audiences so they can force them into conforming with the SJW beliefs.

How many companies, celebrities, politicians do you see having their brands killed by the SJW movement?

Comply or die, is the threat. Most of these country stars don’t believe this bullshit but they know their careers will be defunct if they don’t go along with it.

Country music isn’t country music any more. Hasn’t been for a while.

Urbanized, metrosexual cross-over crap ain’t country.

“I’ve never been a country fan, but I like some individual songs. “Country” music stars today blend nicely with the leftist sewage in other genres. They are sick degenerates who make us long for the guys in bar fights whose dogs and pick-up trucks were their only friends.”

That’s a shameful commentary! I think that most C&W performers are decent people. Most of them stay married to their original spouses and aren’t out bed hopping like most of the rest of the “entertainers” today. The problem is that those who aren’t are the noisy ones. C&W music is the only music that’s truly American.

Yep, I was in a group that produced two Country Gospel albums/cds. Ours were COUNTRY. We sold pretty good in a certain market years ago. Today no one under 60 would buy them :)

About the only thing left reminiscent of the original country sound, is bluegrass. Like Larry Sparks’ group, for instance, his songs, most of which he wrote himself, are old southern ballads, and songs reflecting his deep Christian faith.
