Elon Musk To Invest in Place Tunes for $89 Billion. “Time to Correct It.”

In a groundbreaking progress for 1 of America’s most extended-standing cultural establishments, billionaire entrepreneur, inventor, and investor Elon Musk is purchasing region music for $89 billion in hopes of returning the style to its past greatness.

The deal will incorporate all of region music’s dedicated significant and independent labels, all big radio stations, the Grand Ole Opry and all of its satellite homes, the State Tunes Corridor of Fame, the yearly CMA and ACM Awards, as properly as the legal rights to the defunct Kenny Rogers Roasters speedy meals hen franchise.

“Country music is the bedrock of American lifestyle, and real place songs is wherever issues essential to the hearts and souls of tunes fans all-around the earth are broached,” stated Mr. Musk in a statement. “I also want to make country music much better than at any time by bringing back the twang and roots, the excellent songwriting of the previous, supplying impartial artists equal footing, lastly defeating Bro-Nation, and creating certain all the performers are authentic. Nation new music has large potential – I look ahead to doing the job with the nation audio sector to unlock it.”

Musk’s enthusiasm for the order was the suppression, shadow banning, and outright expulsion of many true region artists by the state structure more than the very last numerous yrs. “How can you have state audio with out ‘King’ George Strait, Alan Jackson, Dolly Parton, and Willie Nelson frequently actively playing on the radio, and competing for state music’s big awards?” Elon requested. He also carried out a poll on his Twitter account, asking followers if they imagined today’s place music was really place, with the wide majority of respondents declaring “no.”

While some might be astonished the indigenous South African would be so into nation songs, a video of Elon Musk singing Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” though roasting marshmallows and sipping whiskey from back in 2017 lately resurfaced.

Then on Tuesday morning (4-16), Elon Musk posted an image of himself in a cowboy hat on Instagram with the basic caption, “Yee-haw 🤠.” Small did we know that he was several hours absent from saying the acquisition of the whole state new music style in hopes of returning it to previous greatness.

But of study course, this is all bullshit (well, the “Ring of Fire” and Instagram post are accurate). The actual truth of the matter is region music unfortunately won’t have some benevolent billionaire benefactor swoop into to fix the genre’s issues by using government fiat, nor really should nation followers wait around with bated breath for this sort of an occasion to take place. As an alternative, it’s up to all of us the find out the greatest artists, share them with our friends, loved ones, co-employees, and neighbors, due to the fact the finest artists are getting suppressed and shadow banned by the business, though mediocrity and lack of authenticity reigns in the genre, comparable to on social media.

It would be awesome for anyone to invest in and revitalize the Kenny Rogers Roasters restaurants although. Enjoy that chicken.
