Musical Messages

There are so many country artists who sing of adversity, moving forward, staying strong, etc. However, when it happens to them they play a different tune. Carrie Underwood had a bad fall outside of her house. She told the world that she broke her wrist. A month or so later she admits that her face needed stitches and she's not ready to face the world. All she has to do is look back on her own words in her songs for inspiration. Even Bethany Johnson, the movie she was in, will tell her that her life will go on in spite of this setback... perhaps I'm too hard on her. Lives of famous people can be ruined with accidents that alter appearance but country fans are usually very forgiving. Shania had problems with her vocal chords, Jo Dee Messina has cancer, I'm sure there are many more. I'm sure this too will pass. Everyone deserves time to process things.
