He swiftly defended his patriotism, citing deep roots on his family’s century-old cattle ranch, and pushed back against unfair assumptions tied to his conservative views and music. Despite “Line in the Sand” being misinterpreted as a pro-convoy anthem, Kissel insists his art reflects freedom and country—not separatism. He’s drawing a firm line, demanding to be seen for who he truly is—not the labels others force upon him. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
