I just grabbed the first article.
You don't listen to him if you think him being progressive is a new stance...
Wasnt really criticizing you, just commentary on how frequent crap articles now reach us. Its USAToday and they are pulling half the article from social media comments with embedded links to leave their own site.
Sounds like you don't follow him closely and didn't listen to his Long Violent History album. He has always leaned left politically.
Almost all these "Yellowstone" guys do for the most part. Zach Bryan, Jason Isbell (Who had a great Twitter fight with Jake Owens recently), Childers, etc. etc.
Yep, Willie recorded “Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other” 18 years ago.
It’ll be heralded as “groundbreaking” and “progressive” and he’ll get sales from people who ordinarily wouldn’t buy his stuff. Then when his traditional base doesn’t get onboard because they can’t relate to the progressive subject-matter, it’ll be determined that it’s due to “homophobia”. It’s a win-win for TC!
I don't think his "traditional base" is what you think it is. Most of those type of people would say his music is "not real country music"
Yeah, I don't care. I just like good music. Maybe Bud Light sponsors these guys. Just found it interesting that one part of country music is getting smoked for the Aldean video, then there's this "taboo" country video with two dudes rolling round. Wide divide of the genre. I'm surprised those boys would try that in a small town too.
Trump Effect. Create as much controversy as possible in order to stay at the top of the news cycle.
This.^^^^ I imagine lots of folks on this board would jump on the Peck train with old Orville.
Lawrence Welk is ready when you are.
He shoves Geritol down your throat, Google it
This explains “Mommas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys”
Yeah that new country artist Woodie Guthrie (along with the aforementioned Willie, Kriss, and Johnny) really should stop getting so political.
I agree with you. It's actually been interesting to see the saturation point reached in music and other social areas. One could make the case that just as you indicated above - basically every genre started out as a 'rage against the machine' (the social anarchist theory, not the band) - eventually the genre and artists are so deeply saturated and aligned with each other and the political elites, that there has to be a rebound effect. Hip hop started as an underground street-based music for the people (talking about the plight of the neighborhood, housing, gangs, drugs, F the police, etc.) but it's grown to become the mainstream.
Do you mean the massive amount of singles purchases and the tons of fans he probably gained? He should probably thank the outrage police because he is laughing all the way to the bank.
No. That's not what I'm saying at all...
Did you miss these parts?
I didn't.
