From a recent press release:
"The Country Radio Broadcasters, Inc ® is a non-profit organization founded in 1969 to bring radio broadcasters from around the world together with the Country music industry for the purpose of ensuring the continued vitality of the Country radio format. They do this by idea sharing and education through an annual convention called the Country Radio Seminar."
Any good seminar needs a keynote speaker. So who are they getting this year? Merle? Willie?
Try Sean Hannity, Clinton-hater for Fox News, as NNDB has it, and author of books Let Freedom Ring: Winning the War of Liberty Against Liberalism (2002) and Deliver Us From Evil: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism (2004).
Way to put the c*nt back in country, CRB.
Their justification:
Country Radio Broadcaster's President, Becky Brenner of KMPS Seattle comments: "We are thrilled to kick off Country Radio Seminar with a person of Sean Hannity's stature. He has truly lived a broadcasters dream by starting off in a small market like Huntsville, Alabama and graduating to the national platform he is on now reaching millions of people daily. We are confident his keynote will be entertaining, educational, and enlightening.
Whatever. The only thing that can take the edge of this news is a nice, free rare Burrito Brothers download. Visit Amoeba Music's downloads page to grab "Long Black Limousine" and, if you want, a new one from Brandi Shearer. Amoeba claims that this Burrito song, from a 2-CD live album from a 1969 concert (that was recorded by LSD chemist and Dead soundman Owsley Stanley), is "the highest-quality Gram Parsons live material we have ever heard."
Thank you, West Coast liberals.

Maybe they should've gotten Goose Creek Symphony to perform. That way everyone in country radio would never be the same. Oh and Sean Hannity sucks as bad as Pitchfork does.
my big problem is that country music used to be about being your own man (or woman) and not following the crowd. it sure as hell wasnt about being a democrat or a republican. do you know which one johnny cash professed to be? neither one. he never had any political affiliations and never spoke out against politicians or political groups.
screw political affiliations and groups. and go listen to some damn johnny cash.
Hannity's appearance reinforces every "liberal's" problem with country music- their worst suspicions realized...
Let's have another heapin' dose of misinformation from this creep, so's we can go out and kick some more *ss.....
CRB is the same group that banned the Dixie Chicks from the airwaves, no suprise that they would have Hannity as a keynote, I guess Toby Keith wasn't available.
no, theres nothing wrong with country music today. not at all. i dont see what could possibly be wrong with country music today...
