I’m glad you’re enjoying the series too. I really didn’t grow up listening to country music at all and developed an interest in it later in life so I’m learning a ton of stuff.

I really haven’t noticed political bias at all, but I’m not into politics either so that went past me. Racial issues have come up, but I don’t see that as political. I hadn’t really ever considered the African-American influence on country music, or was aware of some the racist practices on the Gran Ole Opry in particular. Nor was I was aware that there was a rather large African -American fan base of country music.
