I agree country has "sold out" but people are buying and it's their money.

I say, what's the difference? I don't buy Kenny Chesny records. I listen to WSM-AM radio either on-line or through the static.

Folk music today is hardly folk music. People who call themselves folk singers and then sing a bunch of naval gazing crap that no one has ever heard don't sing folk music. they want to sell records just like everyone else, for the most part.
