![]() It's the Christian part that makes me question my affiliation with the country music fan-base. I'm a moneyed Christian who likes Johnny Cash. ![]() I not only listen to country music, I play it in a band. I'm a middle-class white American who has health insurance, vacation money, a nice living room, a great partner, and two wonderful dogs. But I am certainly rich by global standards and by the standards of many who live close to me. I live in a somewhat modest suburb in Arkansas. I am not a gun-lover or a hunter and I am not a rich person by the standards of multi-millionaires. ![]() They like guns and don't mind killing things.Ī word of disclosure here. These moneyed Christians may wear cowboy hats and boots, too. It signals to others that they are really down to earth and of the people that they have their priorities straight and don't sweat the small stuff. Country music makes them feel rooted and authentic. I have in mind the affluent ones who live in gated communities and send their children to private schools and also middle-class Christians who live a bit more simply. Some moneyed Christians are big fans of country music.
