Randy Houser is okay with posting stuff on social media, but he draws the line at posting “whatever it takes” just to go viral on TikTok.<\/p>\n
“I understand that’s the way of the future and all that. But that ain’t music. I like music. [There’s] enough on our plates to be able to create music, and then all of a sudden you gotta be a TikTok star for any of that to count? No. That’s not true. That’s a bunch of [crap] you’re getting sold because your [record] label is too lazy to make you a star or get your music done. They’re trying to take the easy way out and press you to do something else. Sorry.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
