@mattklewis I wonder if the Dixie Chicks getting kicked out of country for political heterodoxy created cycle of self-reinforcing stupidity.

@EricKleefeld interesting hypothesis. Not a fan of their politics, but I liked their music. You should write that column! -
@mattklewis And left-wing country wasn't new! Kristofferson's "The Law is for the Protection of the People" was country's "Fuck tha Police." -
@EricKleefeld that's what was great about The Highwaymen. Cash and Waylon were conservative, Willie and Kris were libs. -
@mattklewis Not accurate to call Cash a conservative! He wasn't any kind of outright partisan, but was anti-war and for prison reform. -
@EricKleefeld so is Rand! -
@mattklewis Cash was also quite close to June's distant cousin, Jimmy Carter. -
@mattklewis The liberal Cash fan will of course cite the lyrics to "Man in Black" — a cry for social justice. - 2 more replies
