That was a very interesting read. I don't know if this Hill guy meant anything offensive to the female country singer/listener or not, but the guy is a consultant. People pay him to tell them what he thinks. So he told them what he thought. As far as country music generally, if I remember correctly, I did not hear a single female on the radio this morning (about 1/2 hour worth of listening, but I never really thought about it before.) Hard rock stations are the same way, you could pry listen for hours to some stations and not hear a female. But, when it all comes down to it, everyone is trying to make money. Hill says what he thinks because it makes him money, country stations play male music because the "experts" say that's what people want, and they want to make money. Male country singers sing about what they sing about because people wanna hear it. A station could be "gender neutral" and go 50/50 with male/female music but would pry go out of business pretty quick (apparently). Sad = YES. True = Apparently.
