Steve Earle said this

"The problem with the country music scene in Nashville is not that they are rightwing. The problem is that politics isn't discussed at all. That is why I left".(c) Steve Earle.

In younger days I probably would have been on the other side.
But this is not the 60s/70s.

And I have evolved from my older opinions.

If you go to someone I admired in the 1960s, Mark Rudd (SDS leader) his site from a few years ago, he basically says some very profound stuff about protesting then, and now.
And he supported President Obama

Harry Chapin didn't go outside the system, when he went to DC and Congress and tried to work with them to alleviate world hunger (til he tragically died.)
