9/11 Ruined Country, Record Breaker's innagural episode, launches!

I've been sitting on this idea for two years. Here is my new series covering the strange, odd, and niche of the music industry: Record Breaker. I wrote, directed, and produced the entire deal, and had Alex DiPasquale (https://soundcloud.com/acemakesmusic) produce the backing track. Enjoy this weird exploration into the music industry.

I should note here a few things: in the production of this video, The Dixie Chicks changed their name to The Chicks, Charlie Daniels passed away, and the podcast Citations Needed did a much more exhaustive episode on the right wing's influence on country music (https://citationsneeded.libsyn.com/ep...). I got scooped!
