January 31, 2020 The 87-year-old country music pioneer told Martina McBride that she thinks country music is “dead.” “I think it’s a shame,” she said on the ‘Vocal Point with Martina McBride’ podcast, according to WhiskeyRiff.com. “I think it’s a shame to let a type of music die. I don’t care what any kind of music it is. Rock, country, whatever. I think it’s a shame to let it die, and I’m here to start feeding it.” She later told McBride, who is also a country singer most famous for her work in the 1990s and 2000s, that it’s “a sad situation because we should never let country music die.” She continued: “I’m getting mad about it. I am. Because it’s ridiculous,” as reported by PEOPLE Magazine. The full podcast with Lynn is available at luminarypodcasts.com. Lynn, who rose to fame in the 1960s and remains one of the most popular artists of her genre, later took to Facebook to follow up on her comments to McBride. The Kentucky native said she loves country music and is proud of its heritage, but feels the “hard push to crossover” is ruining the genre. Many current country acts are incorporating pop or rap into their songs. “I like it country — pure and simple and real,” she said on Facebook. “I am so proud of all the artists out there, especially the younger ones, who know what I mean and are still keeping it country. When you love something, you can’t just stand by quietly if you think it’s in danger.”
 It’s not the first time Lynn sounded off on the country music genre. In 2010 she wrote in the introduction to her biography about the blurred lines between country and pop. “Some of these country singers aren’t really country ... I think some of them should be singing pop music and leave country alone,” she wrote, according to TheBoot.com. Lynn suffered a stroke in 2017 and broke her hip a year later. She made her first public appearance in nearly two years last April for an all-star tribute birthday concert in her honor. Music legends from every generation were in attendance for the event. Earlier this week, Lynn may have just won the viral “Dolly Parton Challenge.” In her social media post, she wrote “Y’all wish” for where a Tinder photo would have gone.
