Blake Shelton rips traditional country "old farts"

Not that I give a shite about Blake Shelton. But i heard Dallas Wayne on XM 60 commenting on it this morning. So I googled it. Here's what he said.
At a boy Blake.
Somebody else post a link. I'm driving and eating a biscuit. Tia

“Nobody wants to listen to their grandpa’s music,” Shelton said, adding, “And I don’t care how many of these old farts around Nashville going, ‘My God, that ain’t country!’ Well that’s because you don’t buy records anymore, jacka**. The kids do, and they don’t want to buy the music you were buying.”

I do support anyone telling the Boomers to go frick themselves. Unfortunately, it had to be Blake Shelton in defense of his crappy career. It's not just the classic better than you, its the hundreds of guys laboring in obscurity right now but can't get on the radio because they aren't slick enough and lack "crossover appeal."
Every red dirt country act should be legally allowed to punch Shelton in the face.

There is probably not another current mainstream country artist that knows/respects traditional country more than Blake Shelton. At his shows he's always covering old classics.
If he tried to sell the music Merle Haggard was making he'd be starving right now. It's just a product of how "the system" works. 13-20 yr olds buy records and that's what they want to hear.
Having said that his music has gotten waaaaaaay more pop sounding since he started The Voice.
Austin
Ol' Red
The Baby

It's a business and he's right. Sorry yall

Shelton's too stupid to understand that it's the old fart record execs who are responsible for him being where he is in the first place. It's not that he's talented, it's that the old dudes and their focus groups identified what the unsophisticated masses like and groomed him to provide it.
If he was some cutting edge artist, he'd be driving from club to club and putting his music out on an independent label.

Well...he IS right. That doesn't mean new country is good. But he is right.

Pisses me off. I went to a brantley gilbert concert here at the river center not long ago because my girlfriend at the time wanted to go. That is the type of shite people call country now. More like hillbilly white trash rock and roll. The dude was out there on stage in a black wife beater with a silver chain and up there cussing up a storm, crossing his arms and shite like a rapper or something. It was the biggest joke. I cannot believe people buy that shite.

This coming from a guy who didn't get mainstream until he became a judge on a "pop" tv show.
Also, the Merle's, Cash's, Nelson's of C&W were talented enough to write their own music not some pre-packaged bullshite many modern artists rely on.
