At least he will be able to say the "N" word there.
People dont realize how big of a deal this is. This is a leg of a soon to be fully sold out tour that consists of playing at MLB ballparks and NFL stadiums etc.
Wallen is the biggest touring name outside of Taylor Swift right now in terms of ticket sales. The fact that they put up the money to bring him to oxford is insane.
The interesting thing will be to see Hardy in Oxford in some state stuff. Because you know he will.

If this is true, this is similar evidence as back in 2006 when 2 and 1/2 Men was the number 1 comedy on TV and Arrested Development got cancelled for lack of viewers.
Most people are stupid.
I guess this a sign I'm getting old. I have never heard of this person.
You're not missing much. It's bad music. Not like, Cool Bad... bad as in god awful. You can convince people to buy anything. It's all in the marketing.
And there is no accounting for taste.

I've seen several country concerts in my days, but I can't think of anybody out right now that I would pay money to go see. Maybe Eric Church or Stapleton. The problem is the concerts today are just so damn expensive. It's not even funny.
I will tell you about the good old days, but it really wasn't that long ago that you could afford to go to a concert. 90'? That's the last time I want to see some shows back in Mississippi I think Brooks and Dunn was the big last act that I saw that I didn't have to take out a bank loan to go see. I know there are lots of small acts around that are fun to watch, but there were backed themn too but you could still to go see both before entertainment prizes became so ridiculous
No, I would not go see Taylor Swift unless she was naked in my bedroom. I'm a dirty old man, so sue me.

I know more Morgan Wallen public apologies than I do Morgan Wallen songs.
I know all the recruits are big Morgan Wallen fans.
Ole Miss bringing in the guy who casually throws around the N word is the least surprising thing. And yes, I know the rednecks love him for it. It can't be for his music.

Just the fact that Wallen has reached that rare status of uncancellable if that's a word should tell you how big he is. Personally I like Texas Red Dirt Country/Americana but I can jam on some Morgan Wallen and Hardy. Zimmerman is an up and comer.
I've heard the name, but don't know any songs, unless he sang that Applebee's song that was played during every commercial last football season.
He screwed up but is a good singer and you can feel it in some of the songs. I invite you to listen to cover me up from his latest album. Dang it’s good.
Looked this up because it was surprising to me. He is indeed the one person on this list I have never heard of,, but then again I pay zero attention to modern country music.

Nope.
That's a cover of Jason Isbell and from 8-9 years ago. And Isbell is way better at it.

The last few concerts I’ve attended are Motley Crue, Willie Nelson, George Jones, Mickey Gilley, and Ronnie Milsap.
If the Temptations and Four Tops tour near me I might go to them.
Other than that my taste in music stopped with new acts/songs back in the 90’s.
And stay off my lawn.
Musical illiteracy and the promotion of 'celebrity' through shows like the Voice, the Mask, and whatever the hell else, is the primary reason folks like Wallen and Swift sell so well to the average consumer.
He definitely won’t appeal to you if you are over 40, but will be the biggest thing to come to Mississippi in a while. Hardy drew the largest attendance Starkville has ever had for Bulldog bash a couple of years ago.
There will be more Mississippi State students and fans at this concert than at the 2022 Egg Bowl.
Quittin Time, great song. He didn't write that one either, which seems to matter to some of you. Still hits.
Speaking of Hardy - I wonder how the crowd will react to He Went to Jared. It has a little dig at OM nancy boys, which I like. Those dipshits will probably cheer.
Great song! I like Wallens version better still. Thanks for the knowledge though.
Not a huge fan of the drum track on Warning but I think most of us on here could probably identify with some of the lyrics
Hardy’s wife is an Ole Miss grad… my daughter went to her birthday party and Hardy was there , so my daughter walked up to him and said “Hail State” and he said “Hell Yeah”.
Saw Jason Isbell in concert in Huntsville a few months ago. Only went because my wife wanted to go and she’s a big Jason Isbell fan. I was blown away. Such a great concert. Cover Me Up is one of his masterpieces. Morgan Wallen’s cover is good, but doesn’t have the raw emotion of Isbell’s original version.
I’ve never even heard of him. I’m getting old though and don’t listen to the radio anymore.
No doubt! I’ve had that album on loop for about 6 weeks now. I don’t care who wrote the songs lol
Don't lump all us old folks as prunes. I am 47 and I love Hardy. Hell I may buy tickets to this event. I garantee you there will be a bunch of Dawgs in Oxford to see this one.
Hardy is Rednecker than them OM nancy boys
Say what you want about their music, but Morgan Wallen and Hardy are the two biggest stars in Country music right now. They sell out stadiums everywhere they go.
It would be awesome if Hardy walked out on stage with the Golden Egg
om has rednecks?
I dunno but I know Lane’s neck was so red Thanksgiving night on that final drive when he had to burn 2 time outs and even then Dart couldn’t get that shuffle pass in for the tying score. I was sitting in that end zone about 12 rows up and I could see that red neck lit up against that white rain jacket he had on!
There was one temporary red neck at the egg bowl that night for sho! lol
Hardy concert for the Bulldog Initiative incoming....
Isbell also gave all the royalties he made off of Wallen’s cover to the Nashville NAACP after his “scandal.”
Isbell’s version is better because he actually lived it and wrote that song about recovering from his addiction and his relationship with Amanda Shires.
Wallen has a good voice though.
