Burke, whenever I had mentioned on the forums that I was not into Country Music much (because I am from the north and there is no Country Music radio here) I would get a mean reaction - that it was proof I was anti-American because I did not identifiy with music of the heartland or something.

I never understood how Country Music - the music of the honky tonk anti establishment ('Take This Job and Shove It') became the music that is like part of the cult of what you termed the reich-wing.

Maybe bluedogtxn can fill in any info on how this music genre was co-opted by the so called reich-wing?

That is a good question because Country music was fueled from it's very beginning by outlaws, misfits and assorted others who had little love for the Law.

I think it happened in the 90's about the time grunge came on scene. When that exploded you loved it or hated it. The hip-hop scene was in its infancy. A lot of people struggled to relate to either and so did a lot of stations. Good contemporary rock was hard to find and it was finding a hard time competing with grunge and hip-hop. I think artists who would have otherwise been contemporary rock found a home in Nashville. That and the old guard of country was aging out. I think Nashville said we need to "modernize" or die. The Clear Channel effect happened much later in the process. That's my 2 cents worth.
