When Suits Wear Cowboy Hats...

you tend to get the kind of crap that comes out of Nashville these days.

And you get stupid ideas like dropping Daron Norwood's tune from playlists because he mentions Jesus and defends religion.

Now, I don't know Norwood's music, and I suspect it's probably as bad as anything coming out of the Nashville shite factory these days. But Jesus as a taboo word in a country song? Who do these suits think is their audience? Atheists in New York City???

In contrast, I think just about every Red-Dirt artist that I listen to with any regularity has several songs featuring Jesus. And lo and behold, Texas and Americana stations play 'em with no problems.

The revolution is coming....
