I have been echoing your opinion for a number of years. 9/11 painfully altered the trajectory of country music into a jingoistic miasma. The folk and country traditions of rebellion got upended as copaganda and nationalistic pride took a dominant hold.
Wonderful response and writing. A friend saw the show in Chicago and absolutely loved it. Side note: my husband wants to print up shirts saying, “bring back nuance.” ❤️
Read Willman’s book. It’s excellent.
