Why Country Music pwns you.

Smiley:
The Dixie Chicks pissed me off to no ends with their George Bush comment. Entertainers should stay the hell out politics. Patriotism is fine and all, but I can't stand when they think their celibritism gives them the right to bash political leaders and the like.

Darryl Worley's good too, especially his song "Awful, Beautiful Life".

And Montgomery Gentry, Big and Rich are some of my favorites, although their more a rock and roll style of country.

Mnementh:
I think they can have political opinions and feel free to air them.  Hence the reason that I don't like Toby Keith and won't listen to or buy his stuff.  I hate his opinion and stances, but I'm sure as hell not going to take away his freedom tof speech.

I'm not going to support him financially though.

Smiley:
The extent of his political stance is "I support the troops" and "Mess with us, and we'll kick your ass". Which I'm both a firm supporter of ;-)

I guess what I don't like is people who presume to bash others, like bashing political leaders, when they don't have any real perception of what the guy's job is like or what he has to deal with, and when they don't know anything about it except for what they hear from the news.

Like you said, we may not agree on much, but Country brings all together ;-)

Johnny C:
I loathe Nashville and its ilk, but I do have a spot in my heart for some country folk, especially the Sadies.

EDIT: And Smiley, why on earth should entertainers stay out of commenting on politics?  Aren't they citizens as well, don't they have as much of a right to speak out as the rest of us?  You're in the armed forces, and yet it doesn't stop you commenting on country music.  Just because a person's chosen a particular profession doesn't mean that they forfeit their right to comment on anything else as they see fit.  It's got next to nothing to do with celebrity: it's about humanity.
