John Rich is a clown who has to fabricate this woe is me, I’m a victim of wokeism stuff to avoid the realization that he’s a s**tty artist who makes s**tty music.

I have a solution if we, including myself dont post things on here about politics and controversial topics, this board can get back to friendly debates on music and basic things and things inside the genre which we all like. that's just a friendly suggestion. I know you want to sit in your place of ignorance/privilege, but the reality is the country music industry has long promoted and supported white men to the detriment of women and people who are not white. Now that some people are finally pushing back and trying to hold others accountable, we are seeing people like John Rich, the Aldeans, etc react. This is all VERY relevant to the industry of country music and the artists and workers in the industry. To want to not be aware of it, discuss it, and acknowledge it is to be ignorant, though it seems like that’s what you want.

I love music, and I wanted to know what everybody liked so I could understand what everybody’s country music taste is. I also thought it’d lighten the tension on this page. If you look at my Pinterest you can see I like everybody.

If you look at my Pinterest you can see I like everybody. Or instead of trying to lighten the mood when you were the one to cause all this tension with your biases. You could do this instead. Educate yourself. You've been called out many times by many different people on your racial biases many times over. You can claim to be loving everyone but when many people call you out on how you view blackface, Morgan Wallen incident, Brittany Aldean vs Maren Morris, etc. Your stance on liking everyone runs hollow when your views are outdated. So please kindly realize the error in your ways and maybe don't post stuff on here that can and will be viewed as problematic.

1. It sounds like Maren wasn't even aware of the situation. 2. My guess - but I of course don't know - is she has that "no local opener" clause because she wants to ensure a racist, transphobe, etc doesn't open for her. If she allowed locals to open for her and the venues arrange it, then literally anyone could be opening.

Everyone else was fine with that arrangement. I guess Maren wasn’t aware of the Highwomen video controversy either. I guess she’s not aware of things that might make her look bad.

Since when do people take Saving Country Music seriously? That place is a toxic cesspool of a place.

I don't even know what to say anymore. I'm so beyond exhausted of dealing with people who are terrified at the concept of treating everyone with love, kindness and respect. I'm over people who think that racism, homophobia and transphobia are ok and calling it out is "woke" (if I never hear that word again, I'll be thrilled). I'm just tired. Also, other have touched on this, but every single time I see one of these people complaining about "cancel culture" and "woke" all I can think is...I wonder what you thought when The Chicks' careers got destroyed in 2003? Actually, I don't wonder. I know they support what happened to them 100%. But they're totally cool with being a racist, homophobic, transphobic jerk that is literally contributing to marginalized communities being harmed, but what The Chicks did apparently is too far...I'm just so tired of it all.

The Dixie Chicks said those things at a time when politics were kind of a forbidden subject. If they said those comments about Trump or Biden nowadays nobody would care. Streaming, unfortunately wasn’t a thing in their day.

Why randomly share a 2-month old article anyway? It's not like SCM cares Maren Morris otherwise. He would report whenever he can drag her so as to "drag the 'woke' Twitter echo chamber", etc.

The Vince Gill CMT Giants was last night. Carrie Underwood performance of "Go Rest High On That Mountain" was breath taking. her voice was majestic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ7bK7VqmYw

This article & you scream “I don’t know s**t about concert promotion, touring, or the booking process.” Morris did nothing wrong; Davis is attempting to make an ordeal out of a situation that likely was never going to happen for her in the first place (and it sounds like the venue/whoever “confirmed” her did so without the knowledge or permission of Morris/her team, which is not allowable). Most — née, nearly ALL — artists, country or otherwise, don’t have local openers on their shows, and for a multitude of reasons. Just say you don’t like her because she doesn’t lean the same way as you politically and be done with it. Exhausted by cowards who can’t say s**t with their whole chest, so they hide behind attempts to rationalize why their least favorite lib is a ~bad person/artist~ even if it makes them look even worse than they already did.

This is a thread for country news. The issue is when posters put their own personal spin on it and the ignorance, racism, and transphobia is apparent to others, whether it is subtle or blatant. But i wouldn't expect some posters here to understand that. And that's the biggest reason this place can be a shithole.

I have been to this venue and know where this secondary stage was. From what I gather Marens team planned to use that space themselves is why they had to cancel the local opener. I’m sure if there wasn’t an intention to use that space Maren’s team wouldn’t have cited the clause. I don’t know how common such a clause is but I assume it’s there is so not just anybody can open on the off chance it’s someone who is problematic.

Toby Keith has had to back out of appearing at a cancer benefit. The article I read said he has had a very tough week with treatment.
I hope TK pulls thru this.

I've seen the latest forecast and it says that it's going to be a calm week, so I'm expecting this to happen of course.

The interview in there is excellent. I wish more of her music had the empathy and incisiveness she exhibits in things like this.
