    I’ll tell you where have all the pro-war songs gone. They have drifted away as market forces have shifted. The war is no longer a popular and there is a large backlash amassing. Not goo marketing conditions.

    Most of the “pro-war” songs from Toby Keith and the like were less pro-war than pro-exploitation. Exploiting national fears and anger over 9-11, exploiting the illusion that somehow country music is the GOP’s very own soundtrack.

    I’ll agree with you, Baron, that those songs weren’t as pro-war as they’re made out to be. Any song that appeals to an emotion could be described as exploitive, though. I thought the article came across as smug and ill-conceived.
