Jason Aldean is just like a handful of other right-wing puppets. He might not believe in a lot of the stuff he says, but he has to say it to remain relevant amongst the people most likely to line dance to his music and support him. The song was written by a group of folks not named Jason Aldean. He grew up in Macon, GA, the second largest city in the state of Georgia. I grew up in a smaller town than Aldean.
The group of folks that shot up cans of Bud Light are the same ones complaining that cancel culture is what got Aldean's "Try That in a Small Town" video removed from the Country Music Television's (CMT) rotation. The best example of cancel culture is what happened to the Dixie Chicks after they had the "nerve" to criticize a Republican President at a concert. You can't complain about cancel culture when you are banning books, destroying Dixie Chicks albums, and burning Kaepernick jerseys.
Any one smart would know EXACTLY why his video was taken off of CMT. He directed that song to only a certain group of folks. He was directing that song to people in big towns. He was directing that song to people upset with police brutality in minority communities. He was directing that song to Black Lives Matter demonstrators. He was directing that song to the protesters upset with the death of George Floyd. He WASN'T directing that song to a certain group of protesters in a big town called Washington D.C on January 6, 2021. Go figure.
I will not be a hypocrite in this situation though. Although I know why CMT removed this video from Its rotation, I don't think it should have been removed. This is for the same reason why I didn't want "F*&@ Tha Police" by NWA removed. If you truly believe in freedom of speech then you should be OK with speech you do not agree with. I disagree with burning flags just like I disagree with hooded individuals burning crosses, but people should have the right to do so as long as they are willing to endure the consequences that follow.
Just don't think we are fools, Mr. Aldean; when you mention "good ol' boys, raised up right" you are not talking about boys that look like Ahmaud Arbery, you are talking about boys that look like his killers.
Don't know you know why some of these Towns are so small? It's because the number of people who don't want to live there vastly outnumber the ones that do. If more people want to leave a town than the ones who want to stay...then that town will be small. Small towns are small for a reason. Bigots in small towns are too scared to be bigots in big towns. That's why you'll never see a Klan parade in Atlanta.
Aldean is screwed. He's forced to cater to bigots in disguise and double down on this song's hidden message. He has to pretend that "they're gonna round up" everyone's guns because that's what his biggest supporters are dumb enough to believe. That's why Trump is pretending to be an innocent victim. Because most of his unsophisticated supporters are dumb enough to believe that he is both innocent and a victim. If most of your allies are gullible dumbasses, you have to pretend to become one yourself to keep those allies. Now Aldean has to pretend that he is from a small town.
Although he grew up in Macon, GA he now lives in Nashville, TN (which isn't a small Town either). Both Macon and Nashville have plenty of Hoods where he will be too chicken shit to perform this song. Please...grab your tiki torches, your khakis, your white hoods, your Confederate and "Let's Go Brandon Flags"...and "Try hat in the Hood." Not all of you will be as lucky at Kyle Rittenhouse.
