He has said as much whenever the topic comes up. It cannot be overstated how important his meet and greet policy is.


i've known BJ for 13 years and this is 100% true.

Don't care about their politics, but Isbell and DbT suck and always have.

Change my mind.

Sorry. He is an a-hole. I’ve got no problems with his politics or whether or not he sings about them. I’ve got a problem when he looks down on others for not doing what he chooses to do.
Are you not doing the exact same thing you're mad at him for doing?

Just so boring. A bunch electric guitars being played like they're acoustic guitars. Zero riffs, nothing catchy. Music sounds like a high school band

You didn't listen to any of them.

Because "wokeness" evangelism has replaced religious evangelicals so as the most loathsome thing in society.

Probably the same people who applaud this bitched about Tebows mention of God

He’s not quite as bad as the Avetts have become. They’ve killed their career being woke.

Are you a climate scientist? Who cares what you think the solution is. That’s the point.

Jason Is a Bag and frankly so is Saving Country Music for the woke review.

Oh yes I did. And I was familiar with a couple already. I have a good friend who loves them and has tried like hell to get me to do the same.

Typically we both love the same music, this is an exception

Same. It’d be one thing if his songs represented reality in some way. This Woke Religion he espouses is non-sense to any rational, thinking person.

Spot on. I’ve seen McMurtry every year for probably 10-12 years...he always blasted conservatives but it is jokey.

Isbell is just cheap, unsubstantiated wokeness.

The economy for blacks and whites and Hispanics is better than its ever been in history under Trump. We are not in new wars. We’ve balanced the trade gap. Gas is cheap.

Would he rather revert to the Obama years?

The woke culture is at complete odds with reality.
