Re: CMA Awards
I think they are very talented. However, they opened their mouths in the political arena, in a way I find to be repulsive.
This new album, especially the hit song, is an in your face, I am a victim song. If I don't agree with the politics, along with much of the country music fanbase, why would I want to listen to it, buy it, or support awards. The grammy awards were more of an expression of their left leaning than it is about the music. This album did not earn the normal praise (artistic, financial, airplay, etc) that would be worthy of a grammy winner.
Frankly, I like the music of the song if I don't listen to the lyrics. However, the lyrics are self righteous and arrogant. This pissed off their consumers and dang it we should just fall in line and buy their stuff regardless - yea right.
I am happy their tour sucked.
