The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Maren Morris is leaving country music because of what she views as the country music industry’s unwillingness to honestly reckon with its history of racism and misogyny and to open its gates to more women and queer people and people of color.

Never heard of her until now. Just another brainless cunt.

really she is going to make pop music instead cuz she went woke so now country people won't listen to her. Many like taylor swift did the same move.

When people live near the equator where the sun beats down on and cooks their beady little brains, you come to expect things from them, like: Bible belt (which brings racism / bigotry), southern drawl, slack jaw, whiny music, and pride in being slow in the head. No reason to hate them just for having to live in and be a product of a poor geographical location.

Any chance you could just run in front of a bus on you're way out. You know, for all of us.

Those people on the bus have somewhere they need to be.

A little consideration, please.

You're right, this was inconsiderate of me. Fine, walk under some construction cranes then. We can hold up the building of another Amazon warehouse for a day or two.

This is called, "addition by subtraction".

I don't think you can really leave a type of music unless you were just larping.
