Jason Aldean's controversial 'Small Town' video cut by CMT, song skyrockets to Number 1 amid backlas

I didn't hear anything about roads in the song. You better not ever listen to David Allan coe or Johnny rebel because you would absolutely be mortified.

If people don't like the music they can simply not listen to it.

If you had children would you want them listening to this song or would you rather have them listening to gangster rap?

 

This is about a clip IN COMBINATION with text that gives a massively different interpretation.

 

Which song chief? The one you keep misquoting which is not part of the current controversy? THe song "small town"?

Or the song "Try that in a small town"? Which DOESN'T CONTAIN THE WORDS YOU COMPLAIN OF.

Which one chief?

 

Listen to Johnny rebel if you actually want to hear music where there is zero doubt about the racism of the singer.

Sorry but this song is not what you're trying to make it out to be

 

The video's narrative is modern-day protests such as Black Lives Matter, which are restricted to large cities. Usually you don't try that in your hometown. Probably it is an anti-protest song.

 

So all ANTIFA rioters are black?

 

The song was filmed in my town where I live. Columbia Tennessee. At the county courthouse building downtown.

The mentality is chilling to me and I'm not a ******* at all. In fact some of what bothers me about these attitudes is exactly what I do not like about those on the left.

1. Intolerance. We need to accept the marketplace of ideas. You cannot go around beating the **** out of people because they hold views you do not like.

Voltaire said:

2. Police. I'll put my knowledge of police interactions in this country up there with anybody on this board. Police in this country in general are tyrants who abuse the ignorant and violate people's rights thousands of times a day. They need to be criticized when they do wrong and held accountable. Bootlickers who defend police at all cost are the enemies of freedom.

Of course it is wrong to spit at police or throw things at them. That is assault. But sorry, there are simply too many examples of police violating people to pretend like they are isolated and rare.

 

Almost none of them are black.

 

why don't you tell me what he is guilty of then. Is the concept of mens rea in your realm of understanding? You woke lefties want to castigate the man for his production company using a backdrop that is popular in various movies because you want to pretend he chose it to glorify a 100 year old lynching that 99% of Americans had no knowledge of until a lefty agitator starting yapping about it.

 

I don't like country music by I might have to start supporting that artist given the hysterical idiocy that has been launched against him.

 

Kenosha, Wisconsin is 100,000 people. How small is small? Most of the most difficult protestors who were part of the Leftist Democrat's Summer of Hate were the same people who traveled from town to town run by sympathetic leftist mayors and governors. The damage to those towns rarely had anything to do with the towns themselves. If those rioters had been treated like the rioters at the capital, the Summer of Hate would have come to an abrupt end.

The singer of the song seems to be a conservative leftist - part of the group of leftists who almost repealed the 1st Amendment in 2006.

Has anyone thought that the song was taken down because it sucks?

This is what I consider to be appropriate small town behavior . . .

I realize this was an honest question and not a smug one. So don’t be offended by my one line response, it’s not in haste.

it’s number one on ITunes top country music charts as we speak.

https://www.popvortex.com/music/cha... of today's iTunes,Small Town by Jason Aldean.


So I doubt it’s cause it’s bad

 

That’s not small by my measure. I don’t know if there is a structured number to declare a small town small. I would think density would come into that equation too. I would say I don’t even live in a town. I live in what I would just consider the county (outside of town or city limits). Definitely an interesting question you brought up. My town I am addressed to doesn’t even have 5,000 people.

 

Voltaire also said,

"If you can be made to believe absurdities, you can be made to commit atrocities."

That applies perfectly to the Left Wing.

 

First, the song jams.

Referring to the link you posted...did you watch the video to the very end?

 

“Red dirt road” is a throwback reference to the Brooks and Dunn song by that title from the early 2000’s. Aldean has collaborated with Brooks and Dunn in the past and all music genres pay homage to past works in new music.

This may help people understand the reference.

No, it doesn't have anything to do with dragging someone behind a vehicle. Never has, never will...lol

 

I’m pretty rural. Depending on the time of year and weather conditions you could burn any flag you wanted on your property. Certain conditions and you would need a burn permit.

It would be very illegal to set fire to ANYTHING in a public place or on town property. It’s all volunteer fire departments and those volunteers are working in the local businesses a lot of times. A flag burning would get quickly extinguished and the arsonist would likely be prosecuted, not allowed to head down the road unimpeded.

I don’t know about the cop thing. It’s certainly legal to cuss them but I’ve seen urban and rural cops break the law by arresting cussers . Spitting is not speech, but assault, so there is that.

I think the song attempts to make a good point but is poorly written by someone who possibly doesn’t clearly understand the law.

Things certainly are different where I live than in the cities we see riots and such in. And it’s a function of community involvement in maintaining law and order. Law enforcement expects and encourages citizens to help maintain order. I’ve personally helped ensure those breaking the law and endangering the public didn’t make it all the way down the road. And I didn’t lynch anyone or engage in vigilantism or violate anyone’s free speech rights.

I get that it’s different in the city. Everyone there expects someone else to take care of problems. It’s a life where everyone is dependent on some entity for virtually every need or desire. Not so out here. I’m not saying it’s wrong the way cities handle things. Some people seem to love it. But you aren’t going to see a store looted here while everyone else just watches or goes about their business. It’s just different.

 

Once again we see the twirling extremists finding a cause to bloviate about.
This time its a song.
And before we can say redneck, the song is banned, the artist castigated as a racist cracker, and the minutiae of the video carefully dissected for hidden meaning by the pundits.

Lets get real.
The supersensitized easily offended minions of extremism need to have something to swoon over and they gladly search the world for something, anything, that can be spun into a thing. As with all things like this, in the end it's about power and money.
The rest of us can only stand and watch the twirling and conclude that as a race, we can't survive much longer.

 

He's no more "banned" than the Dixie Chicks were, dude. Did the conservatives cancelling them and burning Harry Potter books make you think that the human race could no longer survive.

 

As you no doubt know, the term rube is an ethnic slur -- your comment is sort of like telling an urban black to stop being an [n-word]. Liberals love to use racial and ethnic slurs directed against rural white people for some reason.

 

Actually a lot of stuff we do makes me wonder how much longer we can survive.
This cancel culture thingy is only one of them.

I saw an interview of one of the Seals who were on the Bin Laden mission. The interviewer asked this hero
"What's wrong with America, do you think?"
The guy's answer says it all;
"What's wrong with America is that not enough is wrong with America."

He went on to explain that for too many Americans, their biggest problem is that someone took their parking spot in front of Starbucks, or they see a fat person wearing yoga pants, or they hear someone commenting rudely about fat people and yoga pants. For these Americans, they've lost track of what is really important, and if it isn't invading on their peaceful little corner of paradise, it just doesn't exist. Not their problem, see. Until one of those problems hits the World Trade Center at 400 MPH and 3,000 people die in one morning.

I had a special teacher in high school for Social Studies. His name was Regis Groff. You can google him. He was always challenging us to do something about injustice. Now for him injustice was overt racism. It was kids who had already given up and would accept mediocrity. It was an undeclared war in Viet Nam that we (meaning yours truly in part) were supposed to go die in because a bunch of entitled old rich guys wanted us to.

Mr. Groff would understand the problem just like that Seal. We aren't fighting what's important, like government corruption and politicians who quit taking care of our business a long time ago to take care of their business and enemies who would take what we have and enslave us.

Instead we're being distracted with outrage about country western songs, and plastic straws and marketing images that ping our sensibilities, and sexual preference is now everyone's business.

So yeah, I don't think as a species we're going to survive much longer.

 

Just imagine thinking cardi B singing about her wet vagina is okay but this song is bad..

 

Yes. Because a woman being aroused is way worse than assaulting people for cussing at a cop. Cooties!

 

Yes, our kids need role models singing about their wet ass vagina.

Like I said if y'all want country music to actually be offended about, check out some Johnny rebel songs.
