“Though John didn’t believe artists walked in with a spark, he did know that there’s always a turning point—a light switch, where an artist goes from someone who might just have casual talent to someone with true promise. It’s not something you’re ever able to see on first glance because it takes time: it’s not a reality show. “I’d like to tell you people spark from their first lesson,” John said. “But they don’t.”

“It is a story of how country music has used its gender wars as a cover for its deep imbedded desires to preserve and weaponize that whiteness.”

“This isn't just a story of sexism in music. It's a story of America. Of how misogyny and class permeate the most basic of threads. And how power supersedes decency and art in the minds and hearts of those who should know better. It's a story of triumph and how to pave your own way in an impossible world. It's a story about how politics, corporate greed, and the decisions of our political leaders trickle down to our most precious art forms. Of how the oppressed and be the oppressor, especially if you're white. And how whiteness became country music's most historical currency.”
