Barack Obama ruined everything

When Barack Obama became president he ordered Nashville Music Executives replaced with his own people. They then dictated what kind of music was allowed to be made, its messaging and even who artists could interview with

“When Obama became president, a lot of the original guys that were running those labels, they would bring in a New York guy to replace the Nashville guy.

Then when the new guy comes in, he would start changing the culture of that label, which bled all the way down into the artists, and it bled all the way down into the publicity departments and what kind of songs you were allowed to cut, what interviews you were allowed to do, who you were allowed to interview with.

— I started getting in trouble with the label because I was doing interviews with Sean Hannity. My record label went absolutely insane that I did that.”
