13. sigh
Country "Music" is another story. Most Country "artists" are openly
REICH WINGERS who love BUSHLER and hate anyone who critisizes him.
As we saw by the Dixie Chicks assault, the base of the Country Community is HIGHLY intolerant of dissent. Not all Country "artists"
are this way. There was Johnny Cash, there is Willy Nelson,
and now Merle Haggard, and I am sure that a few others exist.


C'mon, this isn't true EITHER.

I think if people could get over their snobbery, we could welcome a lot of these people back.

As it is, the Democratic Party has the whiff of Northeast liberal upper middle-class snobbery. This isn't helpful. It's your job as a 'liberal' to try to understand other cultures.

I think the -business- side of country is more 'intolerant' than the artist & fan side of it. Business and marketing as institutions are conservative.
