Confederate Railroad booted from Illinois State Fair lineup

Yet Shenandoah is still playing. The breadbasket of the confederacy.
People are just plain apeshit nuts these days.

In recent years, we've seen Confederate flags taken down, then statues of figures connected to the Confederacy were defaced and toppled — and now it seems even the word "Confederate" could be destined for the historical delete button.
Case in point: Country music group Confederate Railroad.
The popular, longtime band was set to play the Du Quoin State Fair in Illinois next month — but not anymore, WSIL-TV reported.
Seems the band was dropped from the Aug. 27 show because of its name, the station said, citing the Du Quoin Weekly.
Rich Miller with the Capitol Fax political website in June asked if Confederate Railroad playing at a state-owned facility was appropriate, WSIL said.
With that, Fair Manager Josh Gross told the newspaper that the Illinois Department of Agriculture decided to apparently pull the plug on Confederate Railroad's scheduled performance, the station noted: "While every [artist] has a right to expression, we believe this decision is in the best interest of serving all of the people in our state."
Confederate Railroad was scheduled to perform with country artists Shenandoah and Restless Heart, WSIL reported, adding that the other two groups will still play.
The booking agent for Confederate Railroad on Friday didn't immediately respond to TheBlaze's request for comment on the report of the band's removal from the state fair lineup.

So they don’t like their women a little on the trashy side?

I hope a contract was signed...

This is a win-win.
The fair organizers get to put there sociocultural sensitivity on display and this shitty country music band gets a badly needed injection of free press.
Don't be surprised if their bookings increase all over the southeast and they get a renewed recording contract or some shite.
Believe me, this terrible fricking music act did a collective fist pump when they were canceled.

They should change their name to Underground Railroad.

They will lose their shite when Shenandoah sings Sunday in the South

Mentally and emotionally disturbed. They've been overcome by estrogen and pop sociology.

TD has its share of music snobs. They like groups and songs that no one has heard of and everything else is "fricking shitty trash" and "too commercialized".
