Her response was two words:  "The top"

Really facinating article in the New Yorker about political/social changes going on in Nashville and its impact on country music.

This is likely behind a paywall if you've already used up all the free articles access, but worth a read if you have access: COUNTRY MUSIC’S CULTURE WARS AND THE REMAKING OF NASHVILLE

It's mind-blowing to watch the allegedly anti-communist right supporting what is for all intents and purposes a communist country, masquerading as a capitalist "democracy".  Simulation, indeed.

You and I are both old enough to remember when the GOP fought the Kremlin, instead of getting marching orders from there.

Yeah, it's a weird thing to look at that divide.  It's easy to wave it off as a bunch of people got older and feel like everybody should go fuck themselves.
