Beyonce, whom I know little about, decided to take an iconic country song and remake it. I go through Dolly Parton’s song Jolene to highlight the nuances you may have missed in the story and to show what is missing from Beyonce’s version. The original song contains an element that the Party hates. Why the need to remake Country music and into what? From that place, I look at art under the eye of totalitarian regimes. You may be surprised at what connections can be drawn from Mao and Stalin’s views on art to the remaking of Country music by Beyonce.

What does God’s Word say? 
Psalm 98:4-9 4 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth,    burst into jubilant song with music;5 make music to the Lord with the harp,    with the harp and the sound of singing,6 with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn—    shout for joy before the Lord, the King.
7 Let the sea resound, and everything in it,    the world, and all who live in it.8 Let the rivers clap their hands,    let the mountains sing together for joy;9 let them sing before the Lord,    for he comes to judge the earth.He will judge the world in righteousness    and the peoples with equity.
