Interesting how KD Lang's music is often in the Rock or Alternative sections of record stores after they displayed their outrage at her lifestyle.

Interesting how later in his life Johnny Cash showed some real contempt for what had become of the country music industry and made some major hits with a few rock/alternative groups.

I think the Chicks may wind up there soon too...although I'd hate for them to change their style. I do like it, even though I am not a country fan...at least not for this poppy pseudo-patriotic pseudo-religious BS that is called country today.

There are other Artists who have shown dislike for the trend in country: Willie Nelson, Hell even Merle freaking Haggart!

I fear that their lack of play has much to do with Clear Channel (Corporate Radio) politics and the general dumbing down of free radio.

Strangely Clear Channel stations play Greenday's 'American Idiot' and several other anti-administration songs, but that's rock.
