B-Man Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 JASON SPEAKS FOR ME by John Hindraker You probably know about the controversy surrounding country singer Jason Aldean and his song “Try That In a Small Town.” Liberals attacked the song for being, among other things, “pro-lynching,” which of course is demented. But they succeeded in getting the song’s video banned by Country Music Television. Aldean, happily, is unapologetic. On Friday night he performed a concert in Cincinnati and addressed the attacks by liberals. These two short videos (overlap by about a minute and contain, together, his comments. I share his sentiments. (videos at the link) Aldean and his wife Brittany are well known and respected in Nashville, where they live. Candace Owens relates that when she and her husband moved to Nashville three years ago, knowing no one there, the first people who reached out to them and became their friends were the Aldeans. Candace doubts that Jason wants to lynch her. Is cancel culture on the wane? It would be nice to believe so. But I think that people in academia and big business are still generally as fearful as they have ever been. The situation there is analogous to, say, East Germany in the 1970s. The liberals won’t actually kill you, they will just ruin your life and career. One thing we know for sure, however, is that there is no point in knuckling under to the mob. If they try to cancel you, do what Jason Aldean did: tell them to get stuffed. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2023/07/jason-speaks-for-me.php 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we do a mini mental status test on the board? Because I'm pretty sure that's what the "stable genius" was bragging about passing. Oh and "Dixie Chicks"....btw they were right. Aldean is not. Maybe you don't realize that there are more of us than you. But maybe you do and will keep trying to Jerry rig congressional districts or overturn elections on lies and deceit.

I'm not really sure what his perspective is here...it's like he's kinda sorta upset they didn't choose the guy who's average fan is 77 years old v the guy making them millions. On the other hand he seems to imply that if they offered the best sound quality, Spotify fans might well be considering the needle and the damage done to this day.

I try not to do too much research into opinions/lives of artists/actors etc. More often than not, they end up sounding disconnected from the real life most people live, be it because they have more money than they can ever spend, or they have an inflated value of the net worth of their opinion, or they are strange generally.

He means compressed files, I think. He's poking a finger in Spotify's belly and pointing out an inferior product. I would agree with him that Joe Rogan"s perspective pushed disinformation that had little or no basis. I'll stick with Amazon. Great quality audio in its premium form.

What a mess. Irv, what it comes down to, is that they are too scared to criticize that awful rap music because they are afraid. Afraid of upsetting another demographic, and being labeled racist, but the white guy, the country singer, he's safe to go after, he's comfortable. That rap music is 1000x's worse than this and we all know it, and no one says a word. Because there scared, intimidated. But the minute a white guy says something perceived as socially questionable, omg the lynch mobs are out. That's why they're chickens because they have a double standard, and let certain groups get away with certain things out of fear.

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.
