When did progressive smart people become so narrow-minded? First of all, Alison Kraus is more of a bluegrass, country, folk hybrid these days and is one of the most talented recording artists and performers in America. Five minutes of research would have at least informed your opinion. Stick to politics. You obviously don't know dick about music and consequently came off as a dick.

you are ignorant

It's one thing to make fun of insane people's opinions in religion and politics, because if they aren't exposed, they'll effect everyone, but why are you making fun of people's personal tastes?

The anchor guy is one of the biggest dumbasses I have ever encountered in my life. He berates someone as gifted as Alison Kraus while laughing at his own infantile attempts to be funny. If you don't know who Alison Kraus is then you don't know &$^% about music! Alison is perhaps the most widely respected artist by her peers in all types of music including and especially rock.

I would like to thank you for posting this. Not enough people hate on country music. Regardless of how many fucking records you sell, it doesn't make you "talented" necessarily. However, now in days it's required to develop a fake country accent to catch the attention of producers. Having a vagina is another plus for those of you who want to become an over night super star. Yes, I am one of those rock n' roll fans who's pissed off. It's not about the music anymore man. Just a bunch of shit...

I usually love TYT -- usually smart, down to earth, and insightful. But dude, no matter what realm of discussion you wander into, do a little research please. You seriously come across as a complete moron here.

Lol...Robert Plant was the lead singer of Led Zeppelin.How can you be alive and not know that?

[DancingArethusa]

Imbecile. Please folks, don't confuse this man with a liberal or a progressive. He's just a jerk. Yes, I listen to bluegrass on my local NPR station. It is not a snooty intellectual exercise, it is quality entertainment! I also listen to it live at festivals, jam sessions, and occasionally on a front porch. BTW, I despise country. I don't care if your dog left you.

typical dumb ass lib-tard runnin' off at the mouth...
