A Country kerfuffle and the aftermath + some singers

[TheNeedleDrops]

Gretchen Wilson :biggrin: Much better than Cash. I never will get the popularity for Cash. I saw him in person with June who could not sing either.

I will never get the popularity of some of today's artists either. There is so much great music out there that will never get any recognition or playtime, meanwhile well known artists (*cough* Britney Spears *cough*) can put out shallow, ridiculous "music" at times and it goes straight to the top. Now, don't get me wrong, I like Britney Spears, but not at the expense of great artists that will never get a shot. Imagine what radio would sound like if there were no politics involved and they played good music?! Would you rather listen to Britney Spears "Pretty Girls" or Elle King's "America's Sweetheart"...WHAT?!?!?! You've never heard that song?!?!?! *SIGH* Not surprising.

However, if someone told me I could sell 1,000,000 records singing about flipflops (for the millionth time) and beer or 1,000 records singing about what I really want to sing about...I'd pry go with flipflops and beer too. It's easy, it's doesn't make enemies, and gets you a nice paycheck.
