The sad thing? Country used to be rebellious... I mean actually rebellious, none of this Trojan horse nationalism and fascism disguised as "traditionalism".

We're talking Johnny Paycheck, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and the queen her self, Dolly Parton.

But, as of late, I've said this:

Shout outs to the women of country, for bringing back the tradition - of writing songs about shooting your spouse in the face.

Keep the dream alive.

Woody Gutherie, Utah Phillips.... I guess I am asking what divides county from folk.
