I've worked shows at fairgrounds in the Shenandoah Valley where the artists had songs with lyrics containing code words like "those people", "Real American" etc. It has been about five years since I saw one of these. These artists tour flyover country.

In the green room the artists were making fun of the ignorant fans out there and were scooting back and forth to the bus to smoke pot. They were catering to that audience to make money, but to my way of thinking they were enabling evil.
