This is a story I didn’t want to write because I am actually writing about JESSICA SIMPSON on a country music web site. My country music sensibilities still can’t bring myself to fully comprehend that JESSICA and her record label are attempting a move her into country music. I feel like I am being forced into writing this story because some of our readers were insisting to know why I wasn’t reporting that JESSICA was booed for her performance at Country Thunder over the weekend (CLICK HERE to read what the local paper reported). Come on every one, please tell me you aren’t surprised.

This is a prime example of the big record companies, Columbia Nashville/SonyBMG in JESSICA’s case, are trying to shove their misjudgments of what country music is down our throats. Don’t hate on JESSICA, it’s the fucked up system that is the blame. I feel sorry for her. How is it that they (SonyBMG and her management) thought they would put her in some daisy dukes, boots, show-off her big boobs and show up at a premier country music festival in a prime time lineup and that would magically make her country? Country music would have been much better served by SonyBMG taking the outrageous budget/advances JESSICA surely demands, and develop and release 10 new real country music artists. No wonder people don’t like to pay for records. FUBAR.
