I could talk about Jennifer Aniston, 80’s pop start “Tiffany”, the dude from “Styx”, frikkin Lionel Ritchie, but I don’t. Same could be said about all the current artists “going country”. I can’t write about every one, and even if I could, I don’t know that it would be engaging enough to do so. There’s lots of bad songs being put out by Nashville. Then someone comes in and says, ‘Got any landscapes?’ ‘No, I quit doing those.’ ‘Well, I want those now.’ ‘Oh.” Then I start painting more bowls of fruit, and they’re selling great for a while and I stop painting landscapes. I was painting landscapes and I couldn’t sell any of them, then one day I decided to paint a bowl of fruit and someone walks in my studio and immediately buys it. “I guess I went to that well one too many times. It was also too similar to Trace’s “Honky Tonk Bandonka Donk”, which even Trace is is now admitting. The criticism is more about decency from an artistic standpoint that the song blatantly preys on the insipid nature of mass consumers, and it does so in such a transparent way, this likely lent to its lack of success. And Trace Adkins and his fans continue to misunderstand that the backlash for “Brown Chicken, Brown Cow” has little to do with “ultra-conservative” morality, beyond maybe it targeting kids.

Yes ladies and gentleman, even Trace Adkins is now complaining about the short-sightedness of country radio. Please release this song.’ Ya know, why? Because they don’t listen to albums anymore. I’ve never had radio collectively come to me and say, ‘Oh, my God. I’m the first one to stand up here and admit that I don’t always pick the right singles but, hey, help very much. “I apologized for asking some ultra-conservative radio stations to play it. Despite CMT reporting that Trace used an appearance at the Country Radio Seminar to “apologize profusely to the radio crowd,” Trace is now telling The Boot he’s “Not Sorry”, but that… The fallout continues from Trace Adkins’ stupid song “Brown Chicken, Brown Cow”, as he continues to try to lump blame on others for the song’s unpopularity, though finally admitting to some culpability himself.
