Kurt Campbell who’s bio states that he’s is an expert on Asia and security issues who is now chief executive of the Center for a New American Security and served in the Pentagon in the Clinton administration, in charge of Asia/Pacific issues, and earlier taught at Harvard. Mr. Campbell writes over at that mouthpiece for the Blue Sate agenda, The New York Times, that country music is a place to gain a”…deeper insights into the soul of America even without leaving the obvious attractions of Blue State life.”
As a person enjoying the educational, cultural, culinary and economic booty of the bluest of states (New York) I agree with Mr. Campbell when he writes:
Yes, even with its love for the vehicular and alcoholic, country western is the best place to start to learn a little something  about what it means to have a family, to struggle making ends meet, to own a gun or a pickup truck, to support our troops    unquestioningly, to enlist in the military and fight our country’s wars and to generally be very proud of what America stands for — and to profess confusion over just what all this fuss is about when it comes to our foreign policy choices.
But I urge Mr. Campbell to also pick up recent releases from Steve Earle, James McMurtry or Darrell Scott and many others to hear great country and roots music with a clear insights into foreign policy.
We should toss a little Scott Miller & The Commonwealth into Mr. Campbell’s educational stack, too (8 Miles Per Gallon, &tc.)
