But it's not good because he actually is a person who supports more music & art in schools. I agree that bigots need to go, but he might've been able to get a whole different group to work with the foundation."If it ain't broke, you're not trying." - Red GreenComment

Re: Mike Huckabee's one day tenure at the CMA
CMA is one conservative outfit into the bargain. If they weren't they wouldn't have invited Hucksterabee into the fold. This is both somewhat surprising and gratifying. Not that many years ago CMA pilloried the Dixie Chicks
for their stance on Bush and his war. It should be noted that the removal of Hucksterabee resulted from push back by the members, not strictly as a decision by the existing board. The thing I hold most against Huckster is that he had children, and one in particular.One of the most enduring qualities of an old wooden boat is the smell it imparts to your clothing.Comment

Disagree. There are lots of qualified people who support the arts that can either keep their noses out of politics or at least come down on the truthful side of the fence. Reinhart Heydrick was an accomplished violin player and lover of the classics but should we have him 'picking Grammy winners?'One of the most enduring qualities of an old wooden boat is the smell it imparts to your clothing.Comment

That's typical of most acts that spend a (very) few years at the top of the charts.What are you doing about it?

I'm amazed at this story.
The screw has turned, just when least expected (by me).Comment

Re: Mike Huckabee's one day tenure at the CMA
The writing appeared to be on the wall for Huckabee’s day-long tenure after one of the most influential managers in Nashville, Jason Owen, wrote a letter to the CMA announcing that his artists would no longer work on Foundation efforts. Owen even suggested that cooperation with the entire CMA was in question.
Read between the lines and it's all about MONEY. That's the only thing reds (the homophobic, phony patriot, CMA in this case) care about and the only thing they respond to.

Re: Mike Huckabee's one day tenure at the CMA
Be that as it may, John, the basic fact that the CMA can be moved by the demands of anything outside the white-male-heterosexual-evangelical-dominant base is big news.
I await the backlash toward the CMA.Comment
