    Default CMT goes woke? F'k em.

    This is unreal, I'm not a huge country music fan but this guy is good and I hope CMT faces a huge backlash from this coward decision.

    Not a fan, but I checked out the video... nothing extremist or controversial about it at all.

    What they call “Country” music now is nothing more than “Hick-Hop”. It’s garbage, it ain’t Country.

    That’s Country

    A corporate overreaction to the woke twitter mob.

    I doubt anyone that is "outraged" had even heard the song before now, despite its being released in May.

    Paramount likely will tell CMT to quietly start running it again so as not to suffer like Bud Light did.

    Corporations are learning that boycotts from the left often are slacktivist bluster with very little consequence. But when the right gets riled up, it can have much more long lasting financial effects.

    Sheri Redstone is the head of National Amusements which is a parent company of Paramount. She seems to be left of center but not a raging leftist lunatic. It looks like she probably puts business above politics.

    I read there was some concern musicians might be replaced by AI. Sounds like downtown San Francisco retail has died too. I believe in some small towns in Colorado, if you bring woke protests, you will get your ass beat. They won't let you trample their livelihood. Mess with their children and they will have no mercy.

    I listened to most everything from the Johnny Cash era to the early 2010s. Not a big fan of the 50s crowd, Williams, Pierce, etc. I like the different forms; Country Western, Southern rock, bluegrass, the outlaw guys were some of my favorite. In the modern era, I really liked Brooks and Dunn and Alan Jackson along with several others. The industry started that hip hop background music this past decade; that shit is horrible.

    Sounds like a Budweiser move to me.
