Country star Morgan Wallen suspended by record label, dropped by hundreds of radio stations after using racial slur.

This is the same idiot that was kicked off SNL for Covid spread behavior and said he learned his lesson.

But then I never watch network or even cable tv except MSNBC.

Sounds like a jerk though, so I guess I have not missed much.

He can recover from the first perhaps, but not so sure about the second.

Rough road ahead if he doesn’t pull himself together.

He made a disgusting racist comment. And is rightly paying for it.

The Chicks stood up against shrub, rightly, and were wrongly shut down.

Maybe he was Mel Gibson’d, or Kyle Larson’d, but the Dixie Chicks don’t belong in the same sentence with him. My opinion. Ymmv.

Much, much respect to the Dixie Chicks and others who spoke out against the Iraq War when it was EXTREMELY difficult to.
