"The ignorance right here is far worse."
Please don't call me "ignorant". I can tell you that I know a lot more about life (and Covid19) than you do. Your obsession with country female artists and dislike for some Male artists need to be curbed somehow.

Your obsession with country female artists and dislike for some Male artists need to be curbed somehow. so someone calls your comment ignorant and you respond by insulting their taste. Read taylor's comment to you because he nailed it why people aren't putting up with the bs of putting on concerts at this time.

Your obsession with country female artists and dislike for some Male artists need to be curbed somehow. I can tell you that you don’t, based on the side of this argument you’re on. Devaluing lives & safety in exchange for a Scotty McCreery concert? That’s pure ignorance. But I’ll let you go off. And I don’t need to curb having taste. But again, I’ll let you go off.

When artists do stupid shit they deserve to be criticized doesn't matter the artist, Scotty McCreery isn't immune from criticism here and the same goes for any artist.
I am so sick of fans of certain artists who excuse every single controversial or negative thing an artist does when if an artist they don't like does the same thing they would condemn them in a heartbeat

Awful that state fairs continue to roll out lineups as if the world has exacted itself already. “It’s outdoors so it’s fine,” they say about...a lethal airborne virus. I sort of get the state fairs, especially the ones later in the summer. If you don't start planning the events now, you can't have them. It's easier to plan for it to happen, and then cancel, and we don't know yet what the summer will look like. Even Pres Biden was saying today he thought we'd be looking at herd immunities this summer, and the vaccine being available to anyone by this spring (meaning more vulnerable populations will have had access). But it seems as if it would be easier to only sell limited tickets to start, and then you could add more seating if it was safe to do so. rather then selling the seated tickets at full capacity now...and while outdoors is safer then indoors, it's not everyone packed together safer. You still need to observe social distancing etc. So that answer was totally ridiculous.

Song’s lyrics are bland and generic, the title is terrible and completely what you’d expect from any dude country singer nowadays, and...why the f**k are these guys still playing shows mid-pandemic Because they are self interested greedy f**ks who don't give a f**k about their fans health but their money. Why can’t they? It’s not like it’s illegal. The venue is legally open with safety protocols. Parker McCollum has been playing there, and Randall King, Jimmie Allen, and Lee Brice are playing upcoming concerts there. What else is Billy Bobs supposed to do when they are allowed to be open? They aren’t going to turn down the opportunity to make a living. Small venues are closing down permanently daily across the country. It’s not like Scotty, Parker, etc. are playing at some “underground” illegally opened venue. Weren’t you guys just criticizing Riley Green and Danielle Bradbery for playing at a LEGALLY opened venue? Country artists have been playing for months at the Opry, with a limited audience, including Lady A the other day. Are all the artists who play at the Opry with an audience bad people?

Scotty McCreery sang a new song last night at Billy Bobs Texas: Song’s lyrics are bland and generic, the title is terrible and completely what you’d expect from any dude country singer nowadays, and...why the f**k are these guys still playing shows mid-pandemic I think it’s a great song. It sounds more traditional which is sorely missing in country these days.

All it takes is one person to have the virus. I hate to say it but concerts better not be a thing for at least a year and a half or more away. There will be people who refuse the vaccine and still get the virus and there will still be people ignorant enough to go about life as if the pandemic isn't ongoing. It is not difficult to make sure everyone is safe. Holding concerts is a big no-no.

Just because something is legal doesn't make it a good idea, or mean you are above criticism. They are choosing to prioritize paying their bills over safety. It is a choice. Never mind that it probably shouldn't be legal. I do feel for people though, which is why I'm hoping the stimulus bill is passed expeditiously, because I do think they should be financially supported to allow them to be safe without closing. With artist testing (bc the vocalists won't be masked), social distancing, large airy venues with good ventilation, and required mask wearing (no taking it off at your seat/table, or to eat), you can have a reasonably safe concert, especially in areas with low community spread (this is why no one is upset at the opry). Alternatively the drive in concerts this summer, outdoors w/social distancing, also a way to have a safe concert. The issue with this and other concerts of this type is because they have tables, and are offering food and beverage service, over two hour time period, the air circulates. Indoor dining (whether or not at a concert) is one of the big drivers of covid spread. Also singing (and they're not testing the singers).

Your obsession with country female artists and dislike for some Male artists need to be curbed somehow. Calling you ignorant was putting it nicely. I am on thin ice on this site but if this gets me in trouble so be it. The reason this country is still having THOUSANDS of people die per day is because of **people** like you. If more people were like 14887fan this world would be a much better place. The only thing that needs to be curbed (stop) is you.

No one should be holding or performing at live events right now. It's selfish to put fans health at stake. I don't think any of these artists are struggling for $. It's not like these mentioned artists don't know how to hold virtual concerts either. Many of the mentioned artists who have held these live concerts have also held paid virtual concerts during this pandemic.
There's Nashville establishments such as The Listening Room, Opry, & others which keep holding sessions, live concerts, etc. These events also shouldn't be happening. I've seen videos of artists such as Carly Pearce, Jimmie Allen, etc. performing songs live at these Nashville places just in the last month. There were no masks & didn't seem to be people social distancing.
I understand these venues are struggling, but if they want to make $ there are other ways. The venue could hold virtual concerts for $, get sponsors for concerts, etc. I know it's not the same experience, but it's better to be safe. If someone gets COVID-19 from a concert during the pandemic, the venue & even the artist could even face legal action because they risked the health of people knowingly.

Concerts are the biggest source of income for most of these artists. And don’t forget they have to pay their musicians. You really think the bands and crew should be out of work for two years? The whole concert industry would collapse if they waited for a year and a half or longer. Like it or not, more and more are starting to pop up again. Once the most vulnerable are vaccinated (65 plus) then things will be fairly normal again. The goal is to cut hospitalizations, not wait until every single person is vaccinated.

There's a way to do music concerts in a Covid-19 Pandemic World but the way artists like Scotty McCreery, Riley Green etc are doing it and come across as selfish and if the Scotty McCreery fans want to keep clutching their pearls go on ahead but they aren't changing anyone's minds and likewise.

In the next couple of months almost everyone 65+ who wants a vaccine will be able to get one. Once that happens the death rate will plummet and so will hospitalization’s. By summer concerts will be back.

Just for the records, I am a fan of most male country artists and not Scotty McCreery in particular. He has done hundreds of virtual concerts in 2020 and I believe this was his first concert with somewhat of an audience in 10 months. So it's not like he's been doing this on a regular basis. My point was not to agree with having those concerts at all (which I definitely don't), but it was to say that it was advertised as being safe and masked. But to call them f**ks (Because they are self interested greedy f**ks who don't give a f**k about their fans health but their money) was a little strong since I didn't see you calling Carly Pearce any names when she had her concert a couple weeks ago. Or maybe I missed it.

Sara Evans put on 3 nights of livestreamed concerts in a row last month and it only cost me around like 40-something dollars for access to all of them, and I got to sit on my couch without pants on to watch them. More of that, please.

Anyone know why Chase Rice's cover of Ride is suddenly exploding? It was released six years ago, and suddenly is top-10 all-genre on iTunes.

Dolly Parton is an icon, a legend, and she will always be THE Moment and a national treasure, and it's because of things like this. Lord bless her mightily. Oh and she just updated "9 to 5" and called it "5 to 9" and the lyrics are classic Dolly.

The problem with the whole "it's politics" thing. No Bush v Obama was politics. I despise Bush (and Reagan), but they were president, and the medal of honor is a big deal, and Dolly is truly deserving. Trump was so beyond the pale, with his calls to authoritarianism, the kid separation, the way he was using the presidency for his cronies and to enrich himself, the white supremacy etc etc etc he tained anything he touched...it wasn't politics. But now Dolly feels bad about accepting an award she truly deserves because some crazies will make it political.
