In a scathing New York Times op-ed, Rosanne Cash, the daughter of the legendary Johnny Cash and his first wife Vivian Liberto, denounced the NRA — and called on her fellow country musicians to join her.
Cash has been a gun control activist for two decades, and in the wake of the deadly attack on a country music festival in Las Vegas Sunday night, she believes more musicians need to follow the lead of Caleb Keeter, a guitarist who played at the attacked festival and reversed his pro-gun stance yesterday.
“For the past few decades, the National Rifle Association has increasingly nurtured an alliance with country music artists and their fans,” Cash wrote. “You can see it in ‘N.R.A. Country,’ which promotes the artists who support the philosophical, if not economic, thrall of the N.R.A., with the pernicious tag line ‘Celebrate the Lifestyle.'”
“That wholesome public relations veneer,” she continued, “masks something deeply sinister and profoundly destructive. There is no other way to say this: The N.R.A. funds domestic terrorism.”
