I'm hearing that high-level decision makers want to dump Country Roads because of its references to Virginia's geography. The Shenandoah River barely crosses into West Virginia, and the Blue Ridge Mountains are not in West Virginia at all.
The band and stadium speakers instead will feature a lot of The Ballad of John Henry and The West Virginia Hills, which are both about West Virginia and not Virginia.
