We need to put the “I’m in prison for killing a cop.” energy back in country music. We need to put the “I really hate the establishment so much. Abolish prison. Beat up your boss.” energy back in country music. We need to put the “I feel so bad for disappointing my mommy.” energy back in country.
The “I killed my husband/boyfriend/best friend’s husband and I regret nothing” energy
Controversially, the “I shot my girlfriend and now her ghost has come back to seek revenge.” energy too.
The “Holy shit, Hank Williams Sr.’s ghost is driving this fucking car. What the fuck.”
The “I’m fighting Satan with my fancy fiddling.” energy.
“We’re forming a union because our boss is a thieving plutocrat and we’d rather die than let the scabs win” energy
