He is a marginally talented white trash singer. He got drunk recently and tossed a metal chair off of the roof of his Broadway bar in Nashville. Thankfully, nobody got struck by it-or he would be facing prison time.
The best way I heard him described is that his music is “country” for meth-heads who think stealing copper is a career option.
Wardaddy ping. If anyone here knows the scoop on this, he should.
Nashville is devolving into Cali/Vegas neo pagan decadence. It has become the hedonism capital of the South. Morgan is a bit of a lowlife. However the city council set itself up for a lawsuit since by its own admission it violated the US constitution and Morgan’s civil rights citing punishment for his speech in denying the sign permit. Morgan’s lawyer should be able to get damages for him.
And the thing that jumped out at me was a 33 person council.
WTH!?
That is plainly stupid. Way too many people if you ask me.
“Such a sign requires local government approval and usually isn’t a controversial process. “
This should be an admin task. Does the requested sign meet the local rules, then OK, if not, then no sign.
Modern day version of David Allan Coe..................
One of the biggest country stars in the world right now.
They tried to cancel him after he said the same word that rappers say a hundred times in every rap song on record.
It didn't work. Last summer he played two sold out back-to-back shows at the San Diego's Padre's stadium while I was living a block away. Never saw so many hot chicks in one place in my life!
The lines to get into his bar just got a lot longer.
Very popular. Some of the hits on his first “record” sounded a lot like ‘70’s Alabama. Some incorporate a bit of country rap. Many were written by another writer/rising artist named Hardy.
He apparently likes his liquor a bit too much.
Where is AOC to defend him when she’s needed? She’s not doing her job.
Multiple second chances at free speech…hmm…
Had they confined the reason for his rejection to behavior such as throwing the chair and misdemeanor charges they might have gotten away with denying the approval. But, by citing his opinions, the City is now opened up to a lawsuit on free speech and view point discrimination grounds.
I think this is about signs in front of the bar. The exterior building has his name in lights.
This is how it works. When a council is sitting to approve an item that meets all other codes pertinent they are acting in a quasi-judicial capacity. Which pretty much means they SHALL approve the item before them because it has already been legislated into law. They can of course disagree with a board’s recommendation/approval when they can show criteria has not been met or feel the standards are ambiguous. For example they need more info on the sign’s anchoring. Unless part of the criteria for signs includes a morals clause they should start deciding how much overtime to pay the city attorney.
The man could have stood on the roof and shouted racial slurs it still would not be grounds for turning down a valid request for approval for a legally allowed item.
Freedom of speech for me but not for you! USsr coming to full effect!
Nashville’s city council is full of blacks, wiggers and liberals. The Mayor makes sweet deals to his Democrat real estate buddies and the taxes in that city have escalated precipitously. There are parts of Nashville that make the South side of Chicago blush.
