Still better than a Sam Hunt album

Morgan Wallen Fans Announce Boycotts Over SNL Drop
“It don’t exist… Covid don’t exist!” said Laura Hagar of South Carolina, “It’s a liberal hoax to make sure Sleepy Joe wins the election. And now it’s hurt my baby, Morgan!” Hagar has seen over 20 Wallen concerts and even has his autograph tattooed across her C-section scar. “And I seen people on Facebook talking down on him cause he was kissing them girls even though he’s got a new baby. B**ch, life don’t end just cause you daddy. Anyway, I will never watch MBC again. (sic)”
Larry Keel, another Wallen fan, is taking a similar approach. “I’m boycotting Saturday Night Live, starting 22 years ago because that’s when I was born, and I’ve never watched it,” he said. “And I’m not gone start now - they coulda brought him out there in a HAZMAT suit… it’s bullsh**.”
The Morgan Wallen Nation, a fan page on Facebook, has declared that it will boycott NBC, SNL, and all of Saturday Night Live’s sponsors, including Bud Light and Apple. “Axe Body Spray is going to be a tough one, but I’m sure there are options out there to keep us smelling like if tribal tattoos were an odor.” read one post.
“Who the hell is Jake White?” asked one fan on Twitter. “I watched him for 10 seconds and he was to ugly for me too look at. Give me my sexy country boy SNL!!!”
Wallen, for his part, has apologized for his behavior and for ruining his opportunity. “I think I have some growing up to do.” said the singer.
At press time, a subset of his fans have taken exception to his contriteness, calling him a “soy boy” and a “cuck” and vowing to throw their support to Luke Combs.

Country purists would have you believe
no good country music was created after
Oh, you're going to see Kyle Park?

the Moonshine Bandits are a guilty pleasure
Does Luke Bryan suck?
Even more of this couldn't help Florida-Georgia Line
And then what happened to the Knoxville girl?
A truly underrated country song

Old-School Country Fan Who Just Heard of Sturgill Simpson Disappointed by Sturgill Simpson
Vaguely recalling someone calling "some guy with a weird name like that" the savior of country music a few years back, Renner relented after a friend said he might like Simpson's music and that he was appearing on SNL. Renner stayed up past his usual 8 pm bedtime to suffer through "them perverted liberals telling jokes" in order to hear the supposed "country music Jesus." He says his jaw dropped open, spilling several ounces of Miller High Life when Simpson began to perform.
"That ain't how Hank Jr. done it," exclaimed Renner. "This guy had some fruity little jazz band and a crackhead playing an organ and not a fiddle in sight."
Somehow managing to make it another few minutes longer for Simpson's second tune, Renner was even more offended by the rollicking, sweaty performance of "A Call to Arms."
"Is this what they're calling country music these days?" asks Jimmy Lee. "Is he on tour with Luke Bryant or Cole Hunt or whoever? See this is why I never trust anybody but me about what's what. I half expected uh… who's that popular rap singer now? uh, LL Smoothe J to come out and hip hop around on a verse."
When told about Cody Jinks upcoming appearance on Conan, Renner stated "I don't know who Cody Jinks is and I only watch Leno ...once in a while."

Notes Concerning Sturgill Simpson and Live Network Television
Notes Concerning Sturgill Simpson
and Live Network
Television
By Kevin Broughton
Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like
you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. – Josey
Wales
Nashville, it ain’t like he
didn’t warn you. And by summer’s end Sturgill Simpson had had a bellyful. Of
you, and your suits, and your black little money-grubbing hearts. One of your
favored kingmakers, some Mary named “Bobby Bones,” summed up your indifference
to actual art by referring to him as Sturgis
Simpson. To be fair, it was Garden & Gun’s
cowardly betrayal of a dying Merle Haggard
that finally set him off, but his point was unambiguous: I don’t need you. Keep promoting talentless hacks who can’t write songs
and need machines to get their voices barely past the level of
“vomit-inducing.” I’m done with you.
If country music is to be
saved – as opposed to burned down and rebuilt somewhere far away from Music
Row’s satanic pit – Sturgill’s blistering performance on Saturday
Night Live will be seen as the turning
point.
Most folks who’ve worn out A Sailor’s Guide to Earth probably anticipated the songs he’d pick to introduce himself to the nation on such a prestigious platform. December’s pleasant surprise of two Grammy nominations had millions asking, “Who is Sturgill (as opposed to Sturgis) Simpson?”
“Keep it Between the Lines”
was a perfect how-do-you-do. On a concept album – in the form of a love letter
to his newborn son – full of intensity, it’s a cut featuring wry advice that
induces smiles. Pause the DVR quickly enough and you’ll see the hint of a smile
from the man himself; but overall it was a warmup.
The real heat came with “Call
to Arms.” Fitting, as Simpson used it as the show-closer throughout his recent tour.
And for close to five minutes, the SNL stage
positively burned. The band started fast. And the tune only built in intensity
by the moment – by the measure, really – in a way you couldn’t have imagined
and still might not believe after re-watching several times. Chances are you’re
still shaking your head. If anyone’s seen a more hair-raising musical
experience on live television, speak up.
It ended with a power-slammed
guitar, to match an upturned organ stage right. Was there a semblance of a
grin? Look closely:
Nope.
That face? It’s saying, “Get
some. Who’s next?”
And Nashville, he’s looking
at you. You brought this on yourself, Music Row. Maybe you’ll keep promoting a 40-year-old in painted-on jeans
who thrusts his junk on stage and sings about finger banging drunk girls in his
truck. Or tatted-up white trash clowns that duet with their Backstreet
Boyfriends. But only for a short while.
Because Sturgill Simpson
judged you on August 29, 2016, and you were found wanting: Guilty of crimes
against art, integrity, and musical humanity. There will be no phone call from
the governor with a last minute reprieve. Your death will be fittingly slow,
because on January 14, 2017, judge became executioner at 30 Rockefeller Center
and with two songs, started the gradual drip of a fatal drug cocktail.
Twenty years ago Todd Snider
famously quipped – and you can find it on the occasional T-shirt – “In a
perfect world, Steve Earle would run Nashville.”
