    I like my Pistol Annies a lot better without Blake doing bullshit country rap.

    “If you’re wondering why it seems like people are pulling back and not giving you the full deal, there’s no Johnny Cashes, or Waylon Jennings, or Loretta Lynns, there’s a good reason for that… none of those people would have been allowed to exist today."

    I'm an uncultured metalhead but even I know aaaahahahahaha this fuckin' guy...

    Its pretty simple economics, similar to the NFL and quarterbacks, cheaper to put out new artists on "rookie deals" - after they're established, if they are REALLY worth a second record deal - you sign them - if they have middling sales and radio play - you go sign another Justin Kyle or Dylan Ray somesuch.

    PS - Johnny Cash and Loretta Lynn were both hella WOKE. Geez, how many country artists have done shows in prison since Cash did it? Loretta Lynn had a top 10 hit with Dear Uncle Sam, an anti-Vietnam war song.

    Hell, country radio wouldn't even play that today. Or maybe Rich is just ticked at Darius Rucker's success.

    It's two years old, and one particular website keeps recycling it as content.

    Also ... this fuckin' guy.

    OFFS. John Rich is such a damn tool. And Whiskey Riff sucks too.

    I'm old enough to remember when you had to pay your dues for a few years before getting on the Opry stage, not the day before your first country album is released. That said, I'll take Posty over bro-country any day.
