    I'm sure there were plenty of bootlicker country artists that were around pre 9/11, but it really feels like the country music scene was much more open to non bootlickers. I'm probably getting stuff wrong, but that's what I've really noticed.

      You're not wrong. 9/11 killed the last of the good country music. Fortunately we still have Willie Nelson.
