Thats why I say, never give in to despair.....You never know what’s just around the corner....

CMT took down the video. He’s still losing some of the battles with this song.

It’ll just make it a bigger hit by bringing more attention to it.

Another song the liberals hate is “A Country Boy Can Survive.”

Based on the comments about CMT doing this, quite a few. One of the only channels you can find Last Man Standing episodes. That alone might make it interesting for some.

Who watches CMT?

Country has gone woke, so the woke Nashville liberals most likely support and influence CMT.

Not that I believe the spin that Jason Aldean is a racist just because he is from Georgia. But to those leveling those accusations I would say “do you know what is even worse than being a racist? Being a communist you poop slinging monkey!”

No explicit mention of race. But these are tells...
* Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
* Carjack an old lady at a red light
* Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store

By and large, who does that crap?

I’m surprised he didn’t add “Push somebody onto the subway tracks” or “Beat up Asians”

Doesn't anyone listen to lyrics anymore?

In the first verse, Aldean masterfully conjures the spector of recent riots - police officers assaulted, old ladies robbed and flags burned. He ends the verse by rhetorically asking the listener to try that behavior in a small town and see what the result would be. He quickly recommends you don't try that, because if you do you won't make it far down the road. While Aldean isn't specific about why the criminal wouldn't make it far down the road, the listener may have some thoughts.

In the next verse, Aldean contemplates the quite likely scenario that the government might try to confiscate precious family heirlooms under the guise of 2A restrictions. He points out that stuff might fly in the city, but try that in a small town (but he doesn't recommend that) and you won't get far.

No where is race mentioned. There is a clear contrast drawn between places like Portland where police were assaulted daily, property and the Flag burned, and the elderly were terrorized. His point is that those types shouldn't come to small towns. Also, grabbing guns in small towns would be a problem. That's all. It's really a song about community and looking out for your brother.

Every victory is important. It’s high time these God and Country frauds that infest country music got called out starting with that wife cheating a-hole Garth.

“I’m surprised he didn’t add ‘Push somebody onto the subway tracks’ or ‘Beat up Asians...’”

He’s saving that for the next album. ;)

There are a number “first time hearing” you tub sites that have the song on it listened to and commented favorably upon by....black music reviewers. Country folks can survive...- can’t starve us out, can’t make us run....

All human beings understand the freedom described in the US Constitution.. a Nation of Laws and Freedom.

Except the people who want the entire country completely dependent and helpless wrapped up in regulations enforced as laws that do not exist. The worm is turning against the true tyrants of lib land.

Piss off Karen. It’s a great song.

If you watch the music video, you will see that it includes whites in the act of rioting and mayhem.

Last night on ABC they played the recorded CMA Musicfest Concert at Titans stadium from last month in Nashville.

We weren’t watching at first and only flipped over at 9 pm after 2 hours passed by.

We wondered if Aldean was performing but figured we probably missed it. I said I wouldn’t be surprised if ABC edited it out or had ‘technical difficulties ‘. Wife said they might have put up a black screen saying “Censord”. LOL

We were surprised 10 minutes later after a commercial break that he was announced. He performed this song.

We really thought woke ABC would have cut it.

I keep seeing the assertion that “Try That In A Small Town” is the #1 song on iTunes.

I’m not seeing that. It’s not the #1 song in my copy of iTunes, either overall or among the Country category.
