Alan Jackson is a Superhero. I quit watching the CMA 's years ago and I was unaware of his actions. I support him 100%.

I saw Alan Jackson live in Paso Robles, Ca when Chattahoochee first came out and he was just becoming well known. I will never forget, he sung his heart out and 1/2 way threw he said there would be a short intermission. He then said he was going to take that time to give thanks where thanks belongs, and proceeded to sing, from the bottom of his heart, Christian Hymns. I sat there the entire time with tears flowing down my face with more love and respect than imaginable. AJ's the

I SALUTE ALAN FOR THIS! Let's get country music back to country music!

Country music now, is NOT country music! Alan Jackson is right! Legends like him, George Strait, Chris Ledux, Gary Allan, Don Williams, George Jones, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Brooks, Loretta lynn, Willie Nelson etc. etc. etc. so many more are what real Country music is!

The sound of 90s country music is epic, as why it was So Popular! The material still had steel guitars & fiddles played in the music (seems to be lost arts anymore). There were great music, with good messages, from very unique and talented artist. Listen to alot of 90's country again people, and fall in love with it, all over again.

[tabithalinkous]

AS HE SHOULD!!Way to go Alan Jackson. First of all it's country music, second there's more than enough country music legends who could have preformed and/or received recognition! He clearly isn't ashamed of his core values or beliefs. We need more artist like him!

Alan Jackson is an honest and a true legend of Country Music...
