I read a great insightful, thoughtful article about ten or maybe even almost 15 years ago about how 9/11 changed country music from socially challenging music to blind patriotism and whatnot, and the article's theme has been done to death in the meantime, but not nearly so eloquently based on the few opinion pieces I've read with the same tone since.
It touched on some of the "fifth grade reading level" stuff, but also wasn't afraid to cover the politics of the left abandoning large swaths of the working poor in rust belt states in the late 90's/early 2000's because of the "coal bad, iron cheaper elsewhere" movements.
I wish I could find it now.
