Alan Jackson is a Superhero. I quit watching the CMA 's years ago and I was unaware of his actions. I support him 100%.

I agree. Me too. I'm a huge Alan Jackson fan.

[@justme-re4jz]

i have not watched the cma's for many years, ever since the dixie chicks, oh thats right they sold out to the woke people and changed their name to the chicks. no balls, no backbone, no common sense, and once all of the rap country shit hit. i used to watch them every year, but will never again. i do not watch any of the music award shows any longer. got all about being black and and pretty much black only. no balls, no back bone. i guess people liked watching a bunch of black men up on stage grabbing their crotch and just mostly being ignorant. i have no problem with black singers and players. i love all of the old motown stuff. real talent and good music. who wants to hear about rich black people complaining about being oppressed and killing cops.

He then said he was going to take that time to give thanks where thanks belongs, and proceeded to sing, from the bottom of his heart, Christian Hymns.

Don't forget George Strait. H also is a believer in the real C/W music. When they both sing together, their harmony is awesome. In that CWA show, they cut down George Jones. I mean Nashville did. That's another reason why Alan Jackson walked out. Nashville wanted him to sing a cut down version of his own song. Nashville forgot how much money George Jones made them. To me that was totally disgraceful to one of our biggest legend.

All I'm saying is ALL main music genres change. And It's normal for us to have a special place for OUR music we grew up with, but that's us, what about the younger generation who doesn't have that special tie to that music, the ones that added their twist to it that they love along with the new generation. Might be trash to you and me, but not to them. It's not right or wrong. Alan Jackson just reminded me of my dad, who thought my 80s rock was trash because it wasn't like Led Zeppelin or the doors.

There's heaps of good country music atm, just none are played on "country radio".

[@BallCapHalo4]

I agree with you to an extent. Here's why. The artist you named has molded country music. Then you add in the artists to looked up to those artists bringing their sound and their story sounding similar ( not the same) as their idols. Making country music sound a little different. So when you add someone like George Strait there is someone similar like Aaron Watson or Cody Johnson. If you get my point. There will be country artists today that have to use elements of their favorite time. A good example is Brooks and Dunn. One of their big hits was with Luke Combs. Who brings a 90s sound/style with modern sounds as well. Shoot look at Mason Ramsey. That boy can yodel not many artists do that. We are being given older sounds in a modern fashion. Which is fine. It's where country music artists come in and bring in the Pop element to it. So to an extent part is there will be acts like Florida Georgia Line that everyone hates. But look at them then think about Big and Rich! They are somewhat similar. Both of them have rocking songs to sad songs. They even ✌️quote in quote ✌️ split up but not completely to do there own things. It's the Kane Brown's and Walker Hayes Chase Rice and others that make people think the way they do.

I like him even more now. Someone has to stand for tradition.

Seeing there is no Country Music anymore, and the "Awards Show" are a joke, I stand by Alan Jackson and am proud of him. Alan and George all the way.

[@alanpower2857]

It's even worse now in 2022. Radio 'Country' is just pop with an Alabama accent. That's why I still have Highwaymen and Glen Campbell cds in my car 24/7. And award shows have to be in Vegas? What happened to Nashville?

It would be nice to have more young groups like Rascal Flats and a few other bands that aren't afraid of showing their roots and including some gospel and bluegrass on their recordings.

I grew up on traditional country aka country music, every morning Dad had it on the radio it filled the house or he had a tape or cd playing, but back then telling anyone in school I liked it or Kmart got me teased, until I got to highschool then it was perfectly fine to like it, I love country and 80's rock I feel that's real music most pop stuff these days all sound the same and it doesn't sound like music. people will get mad at me for this but I don't consider rap to be music give me George Strait anyway long live the king.

I remember in the 80's when country music lost it's way and country pop was being forced down the throats of country fans on country radio. There's always a backlash and it takes new artist's to bring it back to it's roots. For me, those artist's in the 80's who helped bring it back were Randy Travis and Keith Whitley. Today it's artist's like Cody Johnson. I guess the pendulum will always swing when it comes to country music.

His latest cd "Where Have You Gone" has 20 dynamite songs of true country music. Thank you to Alan Jackson for keeping it traditional country music!!!!

Just watching this a couple of days after hearing that Dolly Parton declined a nomination to the Rock and Roll hall of fame. She said she never earned such a spot. It's good when people know who, what, and where they are in the scheme of things and stick with their genuine authentic genre rather than being all over the map.

[@finddeniro]

Yes..Dolly, Glows with Humble Joyfulness.. Still popular..

[@RedDevilMoto]

When I first heard that Dolly was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I was SO confused!! I thought it was a joke really. Then i found out it was real and thought..."Dolly Parton, in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?, it just dosent seem right" and then Dolly turned it down and I smiled, because Dolly is still 'real', and never sold out just to advance her career or gain something just for the sake of fame. Thank you Dolly!!!

[@phil4986]

Dolly just produced a one hour tv special that was a love letter to all her fans. She simply sat in a chair talking and singing some of her finest classic songs. Dolly talked just like an aunt who had seen everything and was just saying ,"It's ok,we are going to be just fine." through her great music. The entire hour was a very unhollywood hour of reflection,class and love from a legendary singer. I watched the whole hour and was glad Dolly produced it so she could say what she wanted to say the way she wanted to say it.

[@edtillier4421]

Dolly is a true humanitarian and has always been a real entertainer, Way too classy to be considered a rock and roll star

You should know how to spell his name - first of all Alan Jackson is an "ok" singer - he doesn't have phenomenal range - there's lots of singers - they are everywhere + but not many are 6' tall with long flowing hair and blue eyes + I saw Alan Jackson the day after he signed a record deal - what sets this dude apart is his ability to do write - I'm from the country - not a suburb of a suburb but 2 hrs from the nearest city - same county as Bill Monroe - Bill Monroe truth be told would tell you Alan is more Hollywood than country - because his perspective was different - to people like him if you had a drummer in the band it ain't so country - When Hank Williams was new - he was considered " prog" No body had heard anything like it - You can use labels all you want - Alan Jackson has never ridden a tough horse in his life - it's what I do for a living - who's more country ? My life is horses, dogs, cats , and loud screaming guitars - the girls love it by the way - anyhow I'm out here in the woods as I write this - I had my hands on over a dozen horses before 6 am - your man Alan is either in his multimillion$ bus or his multimillion $ home - who's more country?

[@moseymay1772]

@@davidrice3337 I totally understand what you are saying, and no Alan cannot hit every range, like his singing at George's funeral and rendition of HSLHT is not how George did it. But Alan does have enormous talent and a nice voice and country values. He is such a humble, although now very rich man with integrity, too. Everyone has there own niche. Like Bill Monroe is Bluegrass, which I appreciate. I think of my mother's generation. She grew up just like Loretta Lynn only on a mountain in Tennessee. I grew up listening to Loretta and others on country radio in the sixties and 70's. My cousins in Tnn had to come off the mountain and work in town if they did not want to be miners. When Alan came along in the early 90's, he appealed to people like me and my cousins because no, we were not as country as our parents were, or people like you, but he was way more country than the pop country radio era of the 80's and he reminded us of growing up listening to what mom and dad did. Loretta Lynn's country holler home sounds different than yours, but it was definitely country in the woods like you, only with more mules maybe than horses. Enjoy yours, though, that's an awesome way to live !

[@moseymay1772]

@@willietrotter9522 that awful racist garbage from some of the south reared it's ugly head too long. I loved my parents, but they both were raised in that ignorance and I did not learn better until I went to an integrated school.Thank God I did. Alan seems too loving to treat people that way, I sure hope not. The jargon and other parts may be there in a way he does not realize, but it does need to go. I cannot understand how people could have been so ignorant and arrogant towards their fellowman, but when you are raised hearing and seeing it, you have to then learn it is wrong. Very appalling, horrific and sad. Maybe like the old caste system in India, the holocaust in Germany, and other times in history when humans wrongly lorded over other humans. I worked with a friend whose family come from Alabama. She was black and her daddy was a preacher and farmer who worked for a white man in construction. She said they worked together on crops and building according to the season and her community of black and white saw no color, only that they needed each other. That's how it needs to be and I wish all the south had been like her area.
