Carlson Beechwood Hall is ░░░░░░░░ antebellum home near Franklin ░░░░░░░░ right outside Nashville It ░░░░░░░░ one of the few ░░░░░░░░ of its size to ░░░░░░░░ the Civil War It ░░░░░░░░ a national historic landmark ░░░░░░░░ the 1950s country music ░░░░░░░░ Hank Williams bought Beechwood ░░░░░░░░ more recently country music ░░░░░░░░ Faith Hill and Tim ░░░░░░░░ lived there Last year ░░░░░░░░ fund manager from California ░░░░░░░░ Larry Keele bought the ░░░░░░░░ Now according to neighbors ░░░░░░░░ property is in complete ░░░░░░░░ as you can see ░░░░░░░░ a nonprofit that oversees ░░░░░░░░ preservation called the Heritage ░░░░░░░░ of Williamson County is ░░░░░░░░ that Beechwood Hall could ░░░░░░░░ be demolished Keele and ░░░░░░░░ re not alleging anything ░░░░░░░░ we re just noting ░░░░░░░░ to be a major ░░░░░░░░ to that non profit ░░░░░░░░ the question is how ░░░░░░░░ American history do you ░░░░░░░░ to lose before you ░░░░░░░░ the country itself In ░░░░░░░░ last years we lost ░░░░░░░░ and monuments and our ░░░░░░░░ So tearing down Hank ░░░░░░░░ house an antebellum house ░░░░░░░░ constitute not just an ░░░░░░░░ on the soul of ░░░░░░░░ music a distinctly American ░░░░░░░░ form it would be ░░░░░░░░ attack on the country ░░░░░░░░ And maybe we have ░░░░░░░░ enough Maybe no more ░░░░░░░░ Rock appears to feel ░░░░░░░░ way He is of ░░░░░░░░ a country music legend ░░░░░░░░ lives in Nashville and ░░░░░░░░ us tonight Kid Rock ░░░░░░░░ so much for coming ░░░░░░░░ So you have your ░░░░░░░░ house Why are you ░░░░░░░░ in this house and ░░░░░░░░ happens to it KID ░░░░░░░░ I think like so ░░░░░░░░ people in this country ░░░░░░░░ are sick of seeing ░░░░░░░░ torn to the ground ░░░░░░░░ it be in the ░░░░░░░░ of monuments statues and ░░░░░░░░ something so important here ░░░░░░░░ Nashville like the former ░░░░░░░░ of Hank Williams Beechwood ░░░░░░░░ I also might note ░░░░░░░░ was also the former ░░░░░░░░ of Tim McGraw and ░░░░░░░░ Hill You know where ░░░░░░░░ this end We kind ░░░░░░░░ all knew that from ░░░░░░░░ beginning once this fiasco ░░░░░░░░ this is never going ░░░░░░░░ end You know now ░░░░░░░░ kind of feel like ░░░░░░░░ are under an invasion ░░░░░░░░ the state of California ░░░░░░░░ we understand in a ░░░░░░░░ of ways I have ░░░░░░░░ lot of friends here ░░░░░░░░ come from these spots ░░░░░░░░ and New York City ░░░░░░░░ this is kind of ░░░░░░░░ breaking up house because ░░░░░░░░ feel that a lot ░░░░░░░░ people say it and ░░░░░░░░ say under their breath ░░░░░░░░ they re scared to ░░░░░░░░ it out loud so ░░░░░░░░ again I will be ░░░░░░░░ guy See they come ░░░░░░░░ leaving these woke policies ░░░░░░░░ these cities for better ░░░░░░░░ and lower taxes and ░░░░░░░░ crime We have talked ░░░░░░░░ it you have talked ░░░░░░░░ it a million time ░░░░░░░░ kind of tell them ░░░░░░░░ leave their f ing ░░░░░░░░ in the state from ░░░░░░░░ they re coming This ░░░░░░░░ just one more example ░░░░░░░░ somebody from California who ░░░░░░░░ I understood gave a ░░░░░░░░ to people in the ░░░░░░░░ and through this foundation ░░░░░░░░ he s a donor ░░░░░░░░ and now basically it ░░░░░░░░ like another avenue to ░░░░░░░░ it down I don ░░░░░░░░ think there is anything ░░░░░░░░ important in country music ░░░░░░░░ not American music than ░░░░░░░░ Williams the greatest song ░░░░░░░░ of all time And ░░░░░░░░ think other song writers ░░░░░░░░ be in agreement Carlson ░░░░░░░░ can I just ask ░░░░░░░░ mean we don t ░░░░░░░░ the motive and we ░░░░░░░░ t have this man ░░░░░░░░ the show tonight but ░░░░░░░░ would you move to ░░░░░░░░ new place and then ░░░░░░░░
