Reply #8: Only "Country" music is more prevalent than Talk formats.

Permit me to point out that "Country" music is a subtler and more insidious form of brainwashing than Talk Radio. "Country" songs paint a picture of an America that does not exist and never has.

"Mr. Mom" and "My Front Porch Looking In" by Lonestar are a couple of prime examples. The former deals with a male who loses his job, whereupon the female goes right out into the workplace and Daddy stays home with the kids. In the latter case, Daddy revels in the joy of a stay-at-home wife and two adorable moppets.

Show me a multi-child family in this day and age where both spouses do not have to work.

Then, there are all the ass-kicking, flag-waving, Kill-The-Raghead songs from Charlie Daniels down to Toby Keith: long on patriotic style but seriously lacking in amputations and PTSD spousal killing sprees.

Nashville fell all over itself to help bu$h in his March To War because it knew there were megabucks to be made. Now, after 1400 American deaths and Goddess only knows how many Iraqi ones, we are treated to SheDaisy's plaintive and yearning "Come Home Soon." So Music City makes money off both the fervor of an illegal war and the pain of separation a wife feels for her much-deployed husband.

And all the while, "Country" fans support our pResident! Nashville has turned out more bu$hbots than Rush ever thought about!
