The Marginalization of Country Music
In the intro to "Creating Country Music", I thought it was interesting that it said many whites already established in the music industry looked down upon country initially, on account of their desire to distance themselves from the cultural background associated with country. Do you think this fact has any connection to the contemporary marginalization of country music outside of it's traditional fan-base?

I think that just the opposite would happen. If country music was being criticized for distancing themselves from its roots, i would think they would try to go back to country roots a little more, and thus their fan-base would not have reached out as far as it has.
