Kathy is a class act from start to finish. I love the fact she stood up to the CMA organizers and did the right thing. Compassion is also a “country” value, ya know?

Blake, I love how you are incorporating classic CMA moments that aren’t necessarily musical. Sometimes those are just as, if not more, important, lasting and significant than the musical ones. This is a great example. Huge props to Kathy Mattea.

I’m glad that Kathy was courageous enough to make that statement. It seems kind of ridiculous now that the stigma of AIDS has somewhat faded today. I’m glad that she was forward thinking enough to know that AIDS wasn’t something to be shunned but rather discussed.

God bless Kathy for taking a stand. :-)
