Also those sexy young ladies performing in cages suspended from the ceiling. Most never looked happy. Probably due to a fear of the cage falling.
My current neighbor once performed on poles some forty years ago. Today when I see her hobbling down the street as she walks her German Sheperd, I try to imagine what she might have looked like back in the day.
befriend her...she might be willing to show you her picture album.

I don’t think so, especially square dancing. Think in certain parts of the country, Texas etc, line dancing is still popular. We had a story about living in the country out west in one of our readers and I taught the kids the Virginia Reel and one other dance. They loved it, even they they made faces in third grade when they had to dance with the boys!
I generally agree with this. Especially because the only country / Americana music I like is center-left or moderate.
It’s mostly chemistry and physiology with room for environmental and learned effects.

I like a lot of the stuff that comes out of Austin. A majority of country I listen too comes from that scene.. or is old time stuff from the 20s 30s ..
Ever listen to John Moreland? Exceptional songwriter out of Oklahoma.

A book on this is "Determined", it really gets into how many decisions we think we make but brain chemicals from our genes and our youthful nurture really make.
😄
Yeah...nah.
Chicks line dance for the couple hip hop songs they play, while dudes get beer, before the slow dances.
Two step and jitterbugging at the Texas dance halls.

Brad S and I would spin some girls to this tune and be at her place before midnight.

Of course not, but not to the cartoonish extent you do. I get that it makes you feel good, but no need to wildly exaggerate this.
Sorry, just not a fan. I grew up not far from Seymour and knew him when he was in a garage band playing "teen dances" in church basements. We used to go heckle him. In the Little Pink Houses video there's a brief clip of what looks like an 8mm home movie of kids going down some steps outside. That's heading into the basement of the Presbyterian (?) church in Seymour.
He was a punk then too. Thought he was hot shit. Never grew out of it.

My first remark I said was hyperbole, my second was merely stating that movies, books, and music are generally liberal.

Pretty solid. I like Texas/Oklahoma country but right now the Mecca is Eastern Kentucky country.Bookmark.

Oh everyone I know who knows him agrees. Know Dane Clark a little and he has not much good to say about him. And sounds like his sons got his same traits.
In music? In my experience it's a notable rarity. I was just riffing ... it's not something I really concern myself with.. like you I couldn't give less of shit what they think other than the ideas they present musically ..
I barely go to concerts anyway so a boycott by me means little but I wouldn't boycott/cancel based just on political views.
Boycotting Trump supporters is another thing though. It is one thing to just have disagreements in political opinion...quite another to support what Trump has done and continues to do.

LOL Happened in my old stomping grounds about a mile from where I grew up. They even mention a club I played in (Ottawa Tavern).He was telling a story about his grandmother.

John Mellencamp Performed, Managed Hecklers, at the Stranahan - Toledo City Paper
First of all, let’s get the elephant in the room out of the way. Did John Mellencamp walk off-stage for a brief time after being heckled by a handful of unruly concert-goers? Yes, he did. What the blurbs in online publications fail to mark is the context in which this build-up occurred. From...toledocitypaper.com
And the OP was obviously a flat out fabrication. WTF?
Totally agree.
That was kinda an unknown genre down in Texas, but kinda stumbled upon it once I moved up here. We had seen Stapleton and Sturgill, but once we moved up here went to Holler on the Hill at Garfield Park, and the John Hartford Festival in Bean Blossom.
The Kentuckiana blue country scene is just as cool as red dirt, IMO...maybe even better. Saw Billy Strings at Holler in 2018, then at the Bird. Same with Tyler and others....just a cool sound.
Tyler hooking up for Robert Earl Keen a couple years ago where Tyler would open in Texas, and REK would open in Appalachia was so cool.
Check out Chicago Farmer if you get a chance...Midwest country that sounds like a mixture of old-school Gary Stewart, with a bit of countrified Ben Kweller mixed in.
I know Chicago Farmer very well. We can be music buds.
If I go to a restaurant and don't like what they cook, I don't insist that they change what they do to make it the way I prefer it. I just don't go back.
Different folks and different strokes and all that.
Last time i saw him was like 15 years ago and he was not very good honestly. I dont remember any rants it was just not a very exciting concert honestly.
I only noticed he looked like he wanted to put gas in my tank at a service station. What a weird outfit honestly. I never really like jack and diane honestly he had some good tunes but that wasnt one.
Wife's favorite Kelly Willis Friday night at Duke's in Indy. Plan on heading up. 👍
When I started work at Cummins in '82 there were several people I worked with who knew him and his family as a kid.
Evidently, his family was well off and he was/is a spoiled brat.
I checked Chicago Farmer out on YouTube. I really don't care for that guy's voice. Probably some good tunes, but I can't get past the voice.
I'll take Texas Swing any day. Bluegrass, too, in smaller doses.
