A few days ago, I believe it was a sunday evening, a man toting fully automatic fire opened up on a country music concert in Las Vegas, Nevada. He has killed 58 and injured more than 500, making this incident the biggest mass shooting in U.S. history...
I'm loathe to take it here before all the facts are in;
but I'm guessing this man harbors some kind of antipathy towards country music, country music fans and, yea- republicans. It's hard to guess the MO for sure without proper investigation, but one key to note is that the shooter's brother, when interviewed, said his brother had no religious inclinations.
If this is, in fact, true-
Then it follows that the shooter had some kind of hatred for Christian right wingers...
It's sad.
After the incident in Alexandria we now have a bloody massacre on our hands, probably more hate crime towards Christian right wingers! I can't say this is the case for a certainty obviously, however ask yourself this:
"Do you think the shooter was a fan of country music?"
I think it would be hard to answer yes...
So what I would like to say is this:
I am praying for the country music community intensely at the moment, and I'd urge you to do the same. Maybe you're a country music aficionado, maybe you're just someone who casually enjoys Johnny Cash... Regardless, I would urge you to show support for the country scene by prayer and buying country albums. For those of you not well versed in the golden sounds of country music, here's an album that comes highly recommended: DWIGHT YOAKAM COMP ***BUY NOW*** 5 CD'S FOR THE LOW LOW PRICE OF $14.99
I love to honky tonk, myself.
There's nothing more fun than getting wasted and seeing live country music with a pretty southern peach. Honky tonkin is something I do as a punk rocker, and I've actually met two honky tonk country guitarists/vocalists who started in heavy metal!
So let's all honky tonk for freedom!
