The crimes of American country music are great and many: for every Hank Williams there is a Conway Twitty,for every Gram Parsons a Garth Brooks. Johnny Cash may well have been arrested for stopping to smell theflowers, but his crimes pale into insignificance compared to the current crop of country stars whoserejuvenated musical careers owe as much to September 11 and the current war in Iraq as they do to any -questionable - musical ability.
