Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Most Country artists used to be like him, at least into the 1990s. I don't know about now, because most Country music isn't anymore, and I don't listen much. 1 Quote
Rye Miles #13621 Posted February 2 Posted February 2 I’m surprised he didn’t get booed off the stage from all those lefty idiots in the audience ! Good for him, he really turned his life around! 2 Quote

Stump Water Posted February 3 Posted February 3 I don't want to be preached at in any way, shape or form while watching the tube. See Dapper Dave's post in the Billie... whatever-her-name-is thread. 1 1 Quote

EDIT: Okay, I just watched his speech, and I see what you mean. But it was still a breath of fresh air compared to the rest of those clowns. Edited February 3 by Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 1 Quote

John Kloehr Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Jelly Roll is an example for turning one's life around, and I do think he is legit. He is also involved in outreach, so he will not get boo-ed off the stage. An example: https://www.tennessean.com/story/entertainment/music/2022/11/02/nashville-rapper-jelly-roll-concert-charity-non-profit-tn/69599691007/ " Jason "Jelly Roll" DeFord wants to give back to the city that raised him. On Wednesday [in 2022], the genre-bending artist and songwriter committed roughly $250,000 to programs aiding incarcerated and underserved youth in Nashville. Partnering with local mentoring non-profit Impact Youth Outreach, the donation plans to fund a recording studio inside Davidson County Juvenile Detention Center — where DeFord, an Antioch native, once served a criminal sentence before chasing his music-making dreams as Jelly Roll. " He is also trying to get his gun rights restored, and has made good progress towards this personal goal. He still needs to petition the federal government, he does have a recent pardon from Governor Bill Lee. Quote
