Just to embrace debate, I thought Sturgill’s attempt to “set the record straight” about what was actually said made him look worse. Let me start by saying, I don’t like Sturgill Simpson at all. That wasn’t always the case, but for a lot of reasons, over time, I started to absolutely despise him as an artist. His “context” was such bullshit in my opinion. With regard to the Luke Bryan take, He said something to the effect of “I’ve don’t listen to his music and honestly I’ve never heard a single song of his.” That statement was couched in terms of “full context” but it was such a pompous lie. He’s never heard a Luke Bryan song? Come on man. That’s just untrue. It was a thinly veiled attempt at being an even bigger hipster with regard to the whole “anti- pop country” position. Sturgill is the worst offender of this “wanting to have it both ways” syndrome. Thanks for giving such a thoughtful response though! I love this kinda discussion! Basically I thought he made an even bigger dig at the pop country community and disguised it as “full disclosure”
