are we surprised jason aldean is decrying "cancel culture"

while saying this song isn't about BLM? smacks of Ben Shapiro wanting to see the Barbie movie then complaining abt its "wokeness"....

"Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
Carjack an old lady at a red light
Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
Ya think it's cool, well, act a fool if ya like

Cuss out a cop, spit in his face
Stomp on the flag and light it up
Yeah, ya think you're tough

Well, try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town

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

Try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town

Full of good ol' boys, raised up right
If you're looking for a fight
Try that in a small town
Try that in a small town

Try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town

Try that in a small town
Ooh-ooh
Try that in a small town"

I did a little research on him. He and his wife supported the Jan. 6th capital riot. So it seems hypocritical that in his vid only BLM riots were bad but the capital riot was patriotic. I think footage of the capital riot should of been in his - Try That In A Small Town Vid. Cheers!
@Nanoose
in his vid only BLM riots were bad
Actually, Aldean's vid includes clips many clips from Canada and Europe. Aldean's song is about behavior in the US, but his video examples are NOT.

@ElwoodBlues if you can infer from the lyrics that it is abt behavior in the US while using clips from elsewhere..why can you not infer that he was deliberately using their clips to dog whistle whilst covering his own ass enough to maintain victimhood?
Nanoose · 70-79, M
@ElwoodBlues The one in Canada happened 10 years ago. And in my opium it would not of happened if the cops had let the students legally protest instead of moving in and beating them. I think most of the riot footage in Aldean's vid were BLM legal protests that only got violent after the cops moved in and started beating them and telling them to disperse. I was thinking about how Trump broke up a peaceful protest in Lafayette Square so he could have a photo op at a church. At that time there was talk that Trump tried to arrange to have a heat ray used on the crowd - bet Aldean wishes he had a heat ray to turn on BLM protesters in his small town. Cheers!

Someone did try something in a small town, and I’m quite sure it hasn’t been forgotten in his neck of the woods:

The video:
[media=https://youtu.be/b1_RKu-ESCY]

Verdict: Nothing to see here. I don't see the issue. The lyrics are too generic to call any particular group out, and I'm not offended because I don't intend on doing any of those things in the lyrics, which are fucking horrific. Someone want to defend those actions? I'll have nothing to say in that case.

If he wanted to really stir the pot, he could have gone farther, but he didn't.
foldedunfolding · 41-45, F
@SW-User thanks..what is also really bad is..she was walking out of a grocery store in broad daylight..a guy came up and knifed her purse off her shoulder..he had her id and address, everything

@foldedunfolding sometimes people think because of those things that happen the response has to be extreme and they get a little paranoid and grandiose about it all.

@foldedunfolding Just looked up the lynching site. OK, he officially lost me. He doesn't get to claim moral high ground using that backdrop.
BackyardShaman · 61-69, M
Very poorly thrown together lyrics, nothing even close to a sensible accepted stanza pattern. This Jason kid didn’t write this garbage but he supports this sloppy hateful crap. I never listen to this commercial crap is all the new commercial country this poorly thrown together? This truly is pathetic, maybe it’s designed for a MAGA brain pattern.
BackyardShaman · 61-69, M
@foldedunfolding love this😂😂👍👍
foldedunfolding · 41-45, F
@BackyardShaman you speak of MAGA brain pattern, and all i can think of is how merrily CHUFFED Drumpf was to remember like 4 words in his IQ test 🤣
BackyardShaman · 61-69, M
@foldedunfolding these lyrics match that I’d expect better writing from a 5th grader. However, they obviously threw it together in a hurry to appeal to that market. 4 writers, likely two worked on the words, one researched and came up with phrases and one arranged the music which no doubt is extremely elementary.

@foldedunfolding

Where he filmed the music video.

News outlets like the New York Times pointed out that is the same site where a Black teenager was lynched in 1927. Henry Choate, 18, was accused of assaulting a white 16-year-old girl. He was jailed: however, a mob of hundreds of white men grabbed him from his cell. He was then tied to the back of a car and dragged across town before he was eventually hanged in front of the courthouse.

The lyrics and the location of the video make him and absolute racist and this man deserves to be cancelled.

Some people are just so painfully ignorant they actually believe the rest of us are as unenlightened as they are and think we can't see their bullshit. Plus I've been sayin for two decades that that fucker has a swastika flag in his basement. Probably a couple dead women too for that matter.

@foldedunfolding its like John Cena screeching you can't see me from behind his hand. Everybody can see you John. Just cause you can't see us from behind your hand means nothing.

@foldedunfolding plus John you dress like Liberace's stunt double. That don't make for good camoflauge.

Blake Shelton's Boys Round Here just dropped to the number two spot for worst song in existence. 🤮
Yet another MAGA anthem.
foldedunfolding · 41-45, F
@Renaci whyyy do country people and christians see MAGA as the only option to continue in their identity?? this is NOT of Jesus or the rolling hills.
It's about antifa's bullshit rioting, watch the video.[media=https://youtu.be/Yz-VQlXtDIg]
