ABCNEWS.com : Country Music Radio Full of Pro-War Songs

Country Music Radio Full of Pro-War Songs



In retrospect I doubt I could have made a career of it as a country DJ:



While Toby Keith, Darryl Worley and Charlie Daniels have scored hits with patriotic, war-themed songs, others such as Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Nanci Griffith released anti-war, or at least questioning, songs that went nowhere.



There may be hope:



Alt-country icons Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Rosanne Cash and Lucinda Williams lent their names to a petition by the protest group Musicians United to Win Without War. Respected songwriters Rodney Crowell and The Mavericks' Raul Malo have been frank about their opposition to the president. A new group called the Music Row Democrats formed this year to give a political voice to country songwriters, musicians, producers and record executives...



But then, when was the last time YOU heard Steve Earle on the RADIO? 1990, maybe?
