Was going to happen eventually.  Not really a country or Aldene fan.  

 

No different than other Jandra's that have violent lyrics that are chart toppers.

 

 

 

and has a point about the crime overriding the cities, not really taking hold in the smaller towns.

But in no way do I see it promoting or advocating for the lynching of black people…It’s not about race- it’s about culture…And, even though I’m not from a small town, that video echoes the same sentiment that I had during those riots…so I definitely understand where it’s coming from…👍

I have no problem with the video. It is a kind of red America virtue signaling, but there's plenty of blue America virtue signaling to counteract it.

 

What I have a problem with is the underlying assumption - popular in some circles - that small towns are somehow bastions of community and civic virtue. Have these people actually spent time in America's small towns lately? I see that Jason Aldean grew up in Macon, Georgia (a small city, not a "small town") and that he lives in ... Nashville. Small town America: a great place to visit in country songs, but you wouldn't want to live there ...

In five states, California, Connecticut, North Carolina, Vermont, and Virginia, the rate of drug-overdose deaths in rural counties were higher than those in urban counties.

Though often perceived to be a problem of the inner city, substance use and misuse have long been prevalent in rural areas. Rural adults have higher rates of use for tobacco and methamphetamines, while opioid use has grown in towns of every size. Rural adolescents and young adults use alcohol at higher rates and are more likely to engage in high-risk behaviors, like binge drinking or driving under the influence, than their urban counterparts.

So dumb.  Urban counterparts walk or have access to Uber/Public Transportation.  Do you actually read anything you write before you write it.  What a mess.

WOKE INDIANA JONES IS TANKING, SOUND OF FREEDOM IS HUGE, DISNEYWORLD IS DESERTED, AND: Jason Aldean’s ‘Try That In A Small Town’ Shoots To Number One Amid Backlash.

The “backlash” is from butthurt lefties who don’t want to be reminded that they’re a neurotic minority whose days of bullying the rest of the country are coming to an end.

Fine for him to call for vigilantes if he wants, I suppose.  But when asked about it, just come clean with the meaning. Why is that so hard?  Why does it need to be in code?

A community gets what they tolerate. Leadership in communities across the country have adopted liberal tolerance on crime. No secret code about either.

So filming at a lynching site was meaningless or random?  C'mon.  You're not that stupid.  Why do you and yours use dog whistles instead of just saying what you mean directly.  He's saying to blacks, you do this here and we'll shoot your ass, which is actually debatable.  Why not just say it?  I guess he did with the song and video but when asked about it Aldean denied it.  trump has erased any veneer of civility and just come out with outright racist language.  Why don't his followers?

The music video’s production company, Tacklebox, confirmed to ET on Tuesday that the location is a "popular filming location outside of Nashville" and cited several music videos and films that have been filmed there-including most recently the Lifetime Original movie Steppin' into the Holiday with Mario Lopez and Jana Kramer, a music video from Runaway June titled, "We Were Rich," a Paramount holiday film A Nashville Country Christmas with Tanya Tucker -- as well the Hannah Montana film. The production company says, "Any alternative narrative suggesting the music video’s location decision is false." Tacklebox also noted Jason did not pick the location.
 

So much racism! Effing Trump!!

Yep, he is saying that. Even his defenders should admit that. (And this is coming from someone who does not think the video should be canceled.)

I don't think it should be cancelled either.  It's free speech still, I think.  Just be much more honorable (cough, cough) to own up to the intention of it.

Nope not the lyrics that are most disturbing.  hmmm....what is that logical fallacy called again?

These are the lyrics and combined with the video, the meaning is clear.  Why deny it?  You know both you and him believe it.

 

Got a gun that my granddad gave me
They say one day they're gonna round up
Well, that ***** might fly in the city, good luck

except they generally don't deny their meaning.  btw, can't stand them either.  It's like lobbing a molotov cocktail into a home and saying "I never thought it would explode".  btw, It's "Folsom prison blues" and "Genre"...

Exactly. The virtues of small town America? Yeah, it's real nice if it's a resort town full of nice urban liberals in their second homes. 95% of American small towns are downright depressing.
