Dixie Chicks just took home Grammy for "Song of the Year" for "Not Ready to Make Nice". As they concluded their thank-yous, CBS cuts to a commercial break showing a less than happy Reba....

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?

Merle Haggard- America First

Written by Merle Haggard

Why don't we liberate these United States
We're the ones who need it the worst

Who's on the hill and who's watching the valley
Who's in charge of it all
God bless the Army and God bless our liberty
Dadgum the rest of it all

Yeah, men in position but backing away
Freedom is stuck in reverse
Let's get out of Iraq and get back on the track
And let's rebuild America first

Merle stuck by Nixon and Vietnam and disdain for flower power, never admitting error or revising his views. As recently as 8 years ago he'd still quietly stand his ground and stubbornly refuse to disavow it. But, this current obscenity has forced him to come out against the madness, and he must see the parallels, right?

These new lyrics are the closest thing to an admission of fallibility on the former stance he took that made him controversial all those years ago.

"Okie From Muskogee" was very controversial and other country artists were too busy trying to cross over to risk alienating young folks then.

Now that giant radio congloms controlled by chickenhawks support "Texas Republicans" (neither of the Bushes are true Texans or Republicans-Reagan was forced to take Poppy on the ticket and even "shown the brush he'd be tarred with if he refused") their listeners don't know that they're owned by Zionists who get jocks with Southern accents to mouth the plan for ERETZ ISRAEL and make it sound dear to Confederate hearts, no matter how much American blood is spilled.

Even people who are programmed never to think in critical terms about Israel can be slapped momentarily awake by asking them this:

"Why did Americans fight, die and slaughter innocent non-combatants wholesale (see the MILE OF DEATH) http://digitaljournalist.org/issue0212/pt04.html to protect Kuwait's oil fields from Iraq's slant drlling when the sons and daughters of Kuwait's royal families were discoing the nites away and powdering their noses on the Riviera?

Shouldn't their sons have fought to protect their own country, and if not why not, and, WHY US?"

Now, don't get me wrong, I worship Merle Haggard and I'm very pleased that he's writing and singing these lyrics. But, the real story is the last man to abandon Nixon and Vietnam is openly opposing Bush!

He doesn't get any airplay now, either. Gretchen Wilson's POLITICALLY UNCORRECT is aired occasionally on country video channels and that has Merle as a cameo, but his videos? Never.

He even appeared in a wonderful video in duet with Marty Stuart in FARMER'S BLUES and it was very hot, and that rarely gets played now that Merle has spoken out against the war.
