A vast majority of country music fans want the genre to remain intact. They were none-too-happy with Billboard writer, Jewly Hight's article on Kasey Musgraves.
Country music has seemed to hold out as long as possible, retaining traditional values in most content. This is certain to change if Billboard has its way.
Kacey Musgraves, a country music artist that in 2014 won CMA’s Song of the Year award for “Follow Your Arrow.” Billboard writer Jewly Hight described the song as a “toast to conformity-bucking, pot-smoking and same-sex affection.”
Musgrave’s music sounds every bit like all the other country out there, but her lyrics are certainly different.
I am all for different types of music but when it affects a specific genre that has been around for a long time and promotes healthy living, spirituality and values it makes me angry.
I hope that Country Music does not get washed up in all of this hype and it's just a passing fade like when Steven Tyler and Nelly tried to make it in Country Music.
