| 79. Because some country singers are talented? |

I'm not the world's biggest fan of country but some of the people doing it are extremely talented. Patsy Cline had one hell of a voice, Johnny Cash had an amazing voice (and a decent social conscience too). OK, most of it is crap but so is most pop music.
I think you need to seperate country, the musical style from the political sentiments pushed by a lot of country stations and listeners. It's certainly true that the abuse of patriotism into "love it or leave it" is often found on country stations but is that because country predisposes to that or because country is popular? I suspect the latter.
