We&#8217;re so divided as a country and it&#8217;s sad to see. I don&#8217;t want to say music is above that, but music is music. music. Everybody&#8217;s going to make their music and say what they want to say, and that&#8217;s the thing I love about our country. Freedom of speech\u2026 that&#8217;s country music: You sing the songs you&#8217;re going to sing and you stand by them. I\u2019m not one to disparage anybody about freedom of speech.

I really don&#8217;t remember music not being something I thought about all day every day since I was little. Once we started telling the story, we were talking about music, and [these chapters] were the songs that really affected my life.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I don&#8217;t let any of &#8217;em go. The thing for me is\u2026 when those songs come on, I get the memory of good times when that song was in my life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/darius-rucker-thinks-divided-country-sad-1400307.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>28 May 2024 Darius Rucker thinks America is &#8220;so divided&#8221; as a country.
