Who is it that does the "Save A Horse" song--Nelly and McGraw? There is a singer named Haley Bonar that has a song by that name that came out several years ago. She rocks in this very Patsy Cline sort of way.
A THOUSand times better. I found some old antibiotics and popped them last night. (I know that's wrong. Been lectured already. But I DO feel better!)
I hear you about these folks' money-making purposes. BUT, what I am interested in is why they are popular. I wonder if the public doesn't see extremes of black and white culture joined in middle class values. I wonder if the majority doesn't turn their backs on the lower class values that have been more heavily represented in both country and rap music.
These folks must be popular because they prize the materialism and power that bridges racial divides between only certain people -- the ones who can afford it.

All I can say is that I know my middle brother identifies with a sharply dressed, SUV-driving family man that is represented in the middle class new country song. You can see it everywhere.
They buy it for very specific reasons they don't know, I'd say.
I'll loan you my string tie for that preacher suit, Bro! Wanna go on the road? Pitch a tent? Raise dirty consciousness?
You are a humdinger of a friend. Shut up. When will I get my scarf? Hehehehe!

We need a liberal, scruffy Charlie Daniels. An Emmy Lou Harris with facial piercings. A Charlie Pride who will tell the rich where to get off.
