It's funny to me, how country music fans consider his music to be "Outlaw Country," when he is clearly not an outlaw, but just an old hillbilly hippy who sold his soul for a little bit of fame and money.
As soon as I found out he was an outspoken lefty, I quit listening to any of his crap. Change the station or skip to the song. Zero tolerance policy for me.
I never liked the hippies, but mostly they seem to have been an idealistic but stupid generation who got swindled when they were young and stupid by using that idealism (people my age are now considered boomers, but we were born about a decade too late to join in that movement, and we weren't actually counted into the boomer generation back then).
And because back then researching anything was a lot harder, and most of the MSM was already compromised.
So these days I am more willing to just feel sorry for them. As it seems that a lot of them really seem to have been idealists who wanted to do the right thing, they were just stupid and easily led, ending up doing exactly what "the Man" they thought they were rebelling against wanted them to do.
And a lot of them have never figured that out. Or they just don't want to. Finding out that you were actually working for your enemy the whole time has to be one of the hardest things in life to acknowledge, especially so many decades after the fact that you no longer are able to do anything about it. Or at least of what you did for most of your life. So a lot of them will not see because they can't stand to see.
Having served in the US Army from 1995-2005, learning that I was actually working for the cabals war machine was hard to say the least. I went through all the stages of grief and made my peace years ago.
Reminds me of someone's story of working for a company where a hippy guy who had been there for some time one day asked what the stuff he had been working on was used for. After he was told they were targeting system components for B-52 bombers he pretty much just went catatonic and silently walked out of the factory never to be seen again.
The Hippie Movement was likely created by CIA drug ops. There's a civil rights activist (forget his name, he was portrayed in "Forrest Gump" as the guy with the American flag shirt) who was quoted (paraphrasing here) "we were gaining momentum then suddenly we were flooded with all these morons who were obsessed with sex and drugs. Where did all these hippies come from?" Feels a lot like how Occupy Wall Street was quickly infiltrated by the identity politics types within a week to derail it and distract the public from the actual message of the movement.
Yes. I have known that for some years now. Found about it because, as said, I thought the hippies were stupid even as a teenager, so I'm afraid I was kind of looking for confirmation about that for years. I don't remember where I first ran across that theory anymore.
And I thought they were stupid because they mostly seemed to be focused on behaviors that destroyed things which had worked well enough for generations, not on building something.

It was called “Outlaw” because they found a way to publish from Texas outside the Nashville industry.
Most Christian music is captive to those same companies and ownerships. Virtually all pop/rock/rap/etc.
