Other Title: Big and Rich: Left-wing Liberal Country-music. By Brent Hecht - Wednesday, July 5th, 2006 A good week for Liberal Country Fans at the iTunes Music Store This Fourth of July Tuesday was a boon for Liberal Country Fans at the iTunes Music Store. First off, we had the release of Johnny Cash57;s final studio album, American V: A Hundred Highways (also available at Amazon and at most everywhere else one can by CDs). Next, a 60;mini61; version of Big & Rich57;s 60;8th of November61; documentary became available at the store, packaged with an exclusive 8th of November EP. The full-length documentary was shown on GAC TV many times last weekend, but for those of us who live in areas where GAC takes a back seat to MTV, MTV2, VH1, and BET in our cable line-ups, iTunes is thus far the only way to get a peak at the touching video. Look for more commentary about the documentary on Liberal Country Fan soon. Finally, for those of us without pesos to spend, this week57;s free iTunes Discovery Download is Rockie Lynne57;s 60;Red, White and Blue61;, a song that the folks at iTunes describe as tolerant and 60;willing to admit that flag-waving isn57;t enough anymore.61; Indeed, the song communicates a much more accepting view of patriotism than that which is held by the Right. (Battling the right-wing view of patriotism is becoming a motif here at Liberal Country Fan.) Who would have thought there57;d be a country tune that reminds us that there are Muslims in the United States Army?

#2. To: continental op (#1) "It's about his story of heroism from Nov. 8, 1965, when he was 19 years old (in Vietnam). Really, he represents millions of veterans who laid it all on the line. It shows honour, respect and appreciation for our veterans, something I think people in the U.S. get complacent about - after a while, you forget that those guys are out there (in places like Iraq) shooting and being shot at.

#4. To: TLBSHOW (#3) You don't seem to understand that supporting the troops has nothing to do with conservatism, Todd.
