Sturgill Simpson, who won the 2016 Grammy for Best Country album, wasn't invited to the 2017 Country Music Awards. So, he decided to bring his grammy to downtown Nashville, set up his guitar case outside of the arena, and play for folks going in.

The country music scene is extremely political, and because Sturgill isn't like the rest of the perfectly label molded country stars, he is considered an outsider. I love that he did this. Well done, Sturgill.




quote:

Though Simpson’s latest album went No. 1 on the country Billboard charts, he’s also considered Americana music and overlooked by mainstream Nashville — and his sound is far from what fits on commercial country radio. Simpson has also made it clear that he’s no fan of the genre’s trophy ceremonies.

That doesn't appear desperate or bitter at all.

I like his music but the signs about fascism and the ACLU make him seem like a massive fig

He loses points for not wearing his pussy hat.

He should've given any donations to a legitimate cause like St. Jude's.

Seems like Drive by Truckers, Jason Isbell, and James McMurtry have a lot of fans of their music that dont agree with their political leanings, and then said fans melt down when they figure it out.

In the case of them and Sturgill i dont how you couldnt know their political leanings as it is overtly obvious in all their lyrics. You must be an idiot.

Rock on Sturgill.

Yeah, at least come up with something funny or witty. He's just coming off as a whiny bitch.

I like McMurtry because he seems less concerned about appearing woke

He's more "yeah I'm a bleeding heart socialist and yall are capitalism loving rednecks so let's get past it"

Drive By Truckers are okay, the other two are pussies that I don't really listen to and while he has some anti-war songs I haven't heard anything that's overly liberal-leaning, definitely not on antfa level.

But you keep being a internet hard-arse and fighting fascism in your struggle for equality.

I like Sturgill’s music,but he is a confused pussy. He rails against “Nashville” every chance he gets, and then is pissed when he’s not invited to their party.

I knew girls in high school like this....they hated those that were popular and then acted bitchy when they weren’t invited to hang with them.

They make music. Who gives a shite if in their free time they support the left or the right. I'm sick of punishing myself by giving up good products because I don't agree with the person/group on a topic completely unrelated to what I enjoy about them. If I like a song/show/movie I'm gonna listen/watch. Dammit life is too short to endlessly boycott everything over minor differences.
