And we ain't comin' back again. It's been (mostly) fun on here, y'all, but we're done. youtube.com/watch?v=2c5b8Z…
Will be closing this out for good in a couple of weeks. If any of y'all need an exit strategy-- and we're still hoping to build out the country community over yonder-- shoot us a DM.
"We also knew a lot of people would be seeing themselves for the first time in a country music video and it has been deeply moving to hear from many of them," House told @USATODAY. "All of their love for the video and the song far outweigh the hatred.” usatoday.com/story/entertai…
Done did it. Hat tip to friends here who sent invites. Will gradually be exiting from 'round here.
American country music stars used to be outlaws and rebels instead of quislings and fascists. Willie and Kristofferson, man. Salute.

#BibleBeltBaby has been the No. 1 album on iTunes christian charts for three consecutive days (and got as high as No. 48 in ALL genres). Y’all are making such a massive impact for hurting, closeted kids in churches. I know because I was one. I *loved* Christian music growing up.
On her birthday, here's Martina McBride, taking one of her very best songs and just nailing it to the wall: youtube.com/watch?v=ZRM9Vm…
Back in 1996, Michael Stipe did a beautiful cover of Sinead O'Connor's "Last Day of Our Acquaintance" on Vh1. I taped this performance and watched it over and over again; it's simply stunning. youtube.com/watch?v=w_3WED…
I feel like they were trying to play in my face with this ad so i had to fix it 😂
I am so proud to have been the writer and creative director of the new video by @TTChilders, with the story idea by @JasonKyleHoward. I am so thankful to Tyler for his artistic vision and to the phenomenal cast and crew, who gave it their all. youtube.com/watch?v=II-L8H…
Tyler Childers and Silas House, talking progressive politics and allyship and citing @trishayearwood and @thechicks is basically the entire thesis statement of this blog for the last 18 years. What a great moment for country music this is.

.@taylorswift13’s “Cruel Summer” is now #1 on US Pop Radio (Mediabase).
Had a long talk with @TTChilders and @silasdhouse about allyship, rural life, art as politics, Tyler’s new album and their spectacular new music video for “In Your Love” npr.org/2023/07/27/119…

Greetings, Elon, from the Express Men outlet store.
Stellar set by @thechicks last night in Louisville. Natalie sang through a headcold like the boss she always has been, and the Gaslighter material was built for an arena show. Love that "Don't Let Me Die in Florida" and "Daddy Lessons" remain in the setlist, too.
On behalf of my group Public Enemy and myself Flavor Flav,,, The passing of Sinead O’Conner breaks my heart. She was very supportive of Public Enemy,,, and she was a legend that’s gone too soon. My condolences to her son and family. - Flavor Flav

I just watched a video from a country YouTuber about "country's cool moment" or whatever that fails to mention the role of Kacey Musgraves in all this (who won LP of the year, covered Rolling Stone), doesn't mention Brandi Carlile or the Highwomen (# trending topic post Newport)

Missy Elliott - 'She's A Bitch' (60fps) [1999] (prod. Timbaland) (dir. Hype Williams). Per special request from @MissyElliott #hiphop
The saddest part of this whole thread is when the author finally considers who on the conservative side is as great as all the leftist artists he admires but feels politically betrayed by, and he finally lands on... Granger Smith.
On the "hick-libs." 🧵 Several years ago I was shocked when I heard that a Texas country singer whose music I really enjoyed was a Beto O'Rourke-supporter (Ryan Bingham). For the life of me, I couldn't understand how someone associated with rural West Texas could be on the left.
Did you know allowing gay people to kiss makes you a leftist? In today's conservatism, it does. Also, "Follow Your Arrow" isn't the last song on the album. I guess anyone outraged by the "leftism" had to quit there, but "It Is What It Is" is one of the great modern album-closers.
Around the same time, I heard Kacey Musgrave's breakout album. I loved (and still do) her western sound and style, as well as her songwriting ability, but the final track on the album ("Follow Your Arrow") made her leftist persuasions plain.
Goodness. First Tyler Childers sang “The Bird Hunters” and John Prine’s “Paradise” with Turnpike Troubadours and then Evan Felker sang “King of Oklahoma” with Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit. I have never felt FOMO like this in my life.

Ok, that’s enough. I’m calling it. We have already hit the 2023 quota for people saying dumb shit about country music. Gonna need everyone who didn’t get one in to just sit on the fucking thing until January 1, 2024.
