The rule in entertainment is the less the person talks about politics the more likely they're actually Republicans and just know to keep their heads down around the commie fucks who run the industry.
It also irks the shit out of me that the Left has somehow claimed bluegrass and Americana as their own, when in reality the pioneers of this music would have either laughed in their faces or taken them out behind the woodshed.
No shit. Bluegrass and Americana are not the purview of some soy eating, pegged pants wearing fruit living in Philadelphia, FFS but now it’s the “in thing to listen to.” Give me a break.
While we’re ranting, another thing I can’t listen to is some ridiculously smooth voiced, middle aged whitebread guy with a 401k playing the blues and signing about “riding the rails” and other shit he’s never done. Cracka, please.
Or even better the "gutter punk" upper middle class white kids who actually go riding the rails and panhandle in a desperate attempt to elicit the feeling of desperation and anguish that they think they crave for their "art".
They were writing folk songs in the 60s and 70s and patriots werent. So now they can point at progressivism in Americana as "part of our roots" n sheeit. Historical record or whatever.
back then patriots were TEARIN IT UP on the country scene instead!!! Folk music be damned, we got CASH.
Their tiny desk concerts are dope though.
Until the artists start talking between songs.
There's so many artists out there that ruin everything by opening their mouths and spouting retarded commie dogma.
I can't stand her music but respect to Dolly Parton for how she's managed her career for 60(?) years; Taylor Swift couldn't even pull it off for 5.

You got me there. The Chris Stapleton one is amazing.

Sorry about that. You just need to listen to my lyrics closer. For instance in my song "Living with Deferred Compensation" I sing:
Ain't no home like Amtrak's vista dome
In the Rockies with your best girl.

This is where the right constantly fails. All our shit is devoted to politics, we need to start making just regular programming too.
