Morgan Wallen....country music singer. Have you guys seen..

I wouldn’t count him out yet. The country music station I listen to has pulled his songs and listeners are having a FIT! Saying they’re going to stop listening to the radio and go out and buy all his music. All you need do is read the comments section of any story about this, and you will see an alarming number of people perfectly ok with his behavior.

Gosh, why does this all sound familiar? Trump, anyone?

Hopefully the nitwits supporting him have a short attention span and his label dropping him has the lasting repercussions he deserves.  

To be fair, he's had 6-7 of the top 10 songs for the last month or so. That isn't new. But he's still a POS. 

People were buying them like crazy well before this awful incident. His album crushed 10+ records in the first month, long held by Carrie Underwood and Chris Stapleton.

This is from Rolling Stone in January:


His album is absolutely amazing. It's literally all I've listened to on Apple music in a month. That said, I'm incredibly disappointed in him as a human. He's proven himself repeatedly to be a liability to himself. And he's close to 30, not 20, so even before the slur, it was ridiculous and stupid. Obviously hurling the N word so casually is much worse than kissing a bunch of girls during a pandemic, so now we're in a different class of disappointment.

I sincerely hope that (1) he goes to rehab; he very clearly has a drinking problem (based on other incidents, some I haven't really even seen circulating too largely online), (2) he gets counseling and takes up the Nashville NAACP President's offer for a meeting, (3) he gets a better inner circle / management team.

I'm not big on cancel culture, so I'm not saying the guy should now be homeless or work at McDonald's forever. He has a fan base. He could use it for good and to become a better human. But that's up to him. Some people will forgive and some won't. It's certainly changed the trajectory of his career, by his own doing. 

I think so too!  Being around all those women during covid, he obviously didn't care if he brought covid home to his newborn!

I think there’s a fine line between cancel culture and consequences have actions. In this particular case, I like what Mickey Guyton said. She doesn’t believe in cancel culture and thinks he should use this to learn/grow from. Some people think he should never be able to have any sort of comeback or forgiveness ever in life. That’s cancel culture. But people are bound to make mistakes in life or be ignorant about things in life. Do we just not forgive people for anything ever? Not them learn from their mistakes and become a better person? Brand them with a Scarlett letter and that’s it? I’ve no issues with him losing his record label deal and having his music not played right now, etc. That’s a consequence of his trash ass behavior. I just am not willing to say his career and life might as well be over for the next 50 years because he was stupid in his 20s if he was able to prove himself (eventually, via actions, not a written apology to TMZ) as actually being remorseful and having learned a lesson.

Quite frankly though, with WME dropping him and his silence for the last few days, it would appear to me that he ISN’T ready to do the work.

Yep, that was the other thing I was referencing when I said it's clear he has a drinking problem. I follow the 'news' group that posted it. I think they took it down. But man... 1. Go to rehab 2. Get better friends that wouldn't take that photo then leak it, sell it, whatever.

has he released a statement? Not that it matters, just curious. Never mind, just found it. It would have been nice if he said what steps he was taking to "do better". Empty words.

He's a fucking racist garbage human.
