Confederate Railroad dropped from fair due to band name

Atlanta country band Confederate Railroad were supposed to perform at the Du Quoin State Fair in Illinois, as part of “90s Country ReLoaded Day,” but after people started to question their name they were removed from the lineup, Brooklyn Vegan reports. Du Quoin State Fair manager Josh Gross said - "While every artist has a right to expression, we believe this decision is in the best interest of serving all of the people in our state”, while country musician Charlie Daniels tweeted - “This political correctness thing is totally out of control". In similar news, Blabbermouth has reported that Relapse Records has parted ways with Tau Cross, the multinational punk/heavy metal collective, due to the fact that the liner notes of their new album 'Messengers Of Deception' "prominently thanked" Gerard Menuhin, far right conspiracy theorist, focused specifically on Holocaust denial.
