‘Country Music Is Dead’ Trends After Kelsea Ballerini’s CMT Awards Performance Goes Terribly Wrong

Despite the immoral rot that has set into our society, there was one area of popular culture that was long considered a relative haven for conservatives. Country music, with much of its emphasis on God, family and hard work, has been seen as a safe harbor amid the explicit wickedness that now dominates most of American entertainment.
Unfortunately, the CMT Music Awards on Sunday night suggest those days might be over.
Singer Kelsea Ballerini’s performance of “If You Go Down (I’m Goin’ Down Too)” featured drag queens as backup dancers amid LGBT “pride” rainbow lights.
This was apparently a protest against a new Tennessee law that bans transgender surgeries for minors and puts restrictions on adult-oriented drag shows to prevent children from being exposed to them.

And you can add in Billy Ray to that as well. I found the mania over Achy Breaky repulsive.

It’s been dead awhile. I remember none of these “God and Country” frauds were willing to perform at Trump’s inauguration. The worst was wife cheater Garth Brooks who committed to it and pulled out at the last minute leaving Trump’s to scramble. Yet these people try to pass themselves off as the music makers for patriotic Americans. A bunch of woke frauds is what they are.

Who is Natalie Maines? Oh, BTW, I just realized there are no transgender singers. Interesting.

“Give me Hank,Johnny, Waylon, Willie and the boys.”
I like mine even more Honky Tonk than that. George Jones and his early days, Buck Owens and his buckaroos back in the day, Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton, Marty Stuart.
It seems all the good country pianists have done gone on.
I listen to Bluegrass, prefer New Grass and Mountain.
I really don’t like banjo players who sacrifice texture over speed. There are some pretty fast banjo players, but they’re not clean. There are a few fast banjoists who are surgically clean.
A savvy fiddler and fine mountain style banjo can’t be beat.
Talented Zydeco is a lotta fun too.

+1. Well worth the listen. And he has an advanced design Chevy truck! Can’t get any more real than that.

Country died with the passing of Tom T hall, Billy Joe Shaver, Guy Clark and John Prine.

"IMHO, country music ended in the 1980s...
Age or death caught up with the real country singers..." Yep. That sums it up. Real country music is dead.

Country music died in the mid 70s. Fortunately, there was enough real country music recorded in the 25 years prior to satisfy me.

***featured drag queens as backup dancers***
I remember seeing an old 1880s illustration from the Police Gazette of the Birdcage Theater in Tombstone AZ.
It seems the owner said he was having a bevy of beautiful new dancers, and the house was packed. Then the dancers came out, men dressed as women.
There was almost a lynching of both the owner and the dancers that night as they did not care for men in drag either.

I also think “Urban Cowboy” was another thing that started to kill country music.

I quit listening to radio music and especially country(so-called) music over 30 years ago.
Yet I still like the old music, Bob Wills and the early bands.

I was raised on old country from the 40’s and 50’s.
My dad listened to a station out of Pasadena Texas AM 650. He grew up in deep east Texas in the 30’s and 40’s.
Only broadcasted from sunrise to sunset.
Old hard core twangy country.
Today’s country is nowhere near what it was back then.
