    Why would musicians who can do this:

    Giant Steps ~~ John Coltrane



    debase themselves by playing country?

    they do not appear to have affirmative action, like nascar

    not sure if this is country music, or pop rock

    Darius Rucker of Hootie and the Blowfish fame has quite a following.

    I would say that Darius Rucker is considered to be a country artist.

    Yes, die-hard Harley fans tend to support trump. But then trump turned on Harley. The next thing you know, life-long Harley fans were dissing Harley. As I said, do anything against trump or tick him off, and trumpers will turn on you like rabid dogs.

    That is certainly political.

    Seems there is also some dispute about what is 'real' country. So I thought I would remind everyone of what is undoubtedly the most "country" song ever written, by far



    Ken Burns, eat your heart out.

    Country music people don't like them black folks and prefer they stay to themselves.

    My point is that I agree that country and rap artists have been collaborating. It's a great idea and they have produced hits like Old Town Road.
