Legendary country music singer Jason Aldean has defended himself against accusations of promoting lynching and racism following the removal of the music video for his song “Try That in a Small Town” from CMT (Country Music Television).
Aldean tweeted: “In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous. There is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it- and there isn’t a single video clip that isn’t real news footage -and while I can try and respect others to have their own interpretation of a song with music- this one goes too far.
Excellent write-up
