    Smith, the wealthy owner of Broadway establishments including Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge and Rippy’s, has been a public conservative presence in Nashville, notably mounting local opposition to COVID-related restrictions on public gatherings. He’s also a Trump supporter and donor. Recent panic at his restaurants indicates that his own Broadway empire — and the wealth it has generated — relies directly on employing immigrants not authorized to work in the United States.

    Hmm, how turn tables

    There's always a bigger leopard

      Nashville musician here. Steve Smith is also widely considered to be the biggest piece of shit in the state. He fancies himself a confederate Tony Soprano of sorts. Really he’s just burnt-out coke head like his buddy Kid Rock.
