Sheryl Crow is stepping into the conversation being from a small town and calling out Jason Aldean after the country star was accused of promoting violence with the song “Try That in a Small Town.”
“Jason Aldean, I’m from a small town. Even people in small towns are sick of violence,” Crow tweeted mentioning his colleague. “There’s nothing small-town or American about promoting violence. You should know that better than anyone having survived a mass shooting.”
Crow continued, “This is not American or small town-like. It’s just lame.”

Jason Aldean Stops Connecticut Show After Suffering Heat Stroke Crow quoted a tweet that mentioned Aldean was in a mass shooting back in 2017 when he was performing in Las Vegas. The shooter killed 60 people and injured over 400 concertgoers.
Aldean’s music video for “Try That in a Small Town” has been removed from the CMT programming after backlash. In the video, the singer is seen performing in front of an infamous courthouse known for lynchings.
Lyrics for the song say “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.” In another part of the song, Aldean sings, “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.”
Aldean has denied that his song incites pro-lynching and says that “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.”
In his statement on Twitter, Aldean said the song “refers to the feeling of a community that I had growing up, where we took care of our neighbors, regardless of differences of background or belief. Because they were our neighbors, and that was above any differences.”
I don’t think Sheryl Crow cares enough about anything outside herself.
Dear Ms, Crow
We ae not sick of violence you twat.
We discussed that no one in the liberal hell wholes will do anything about it, and we’re eagerly awaiting our turn to respond appropriately.
As I’ve said before,
Come on out to my farm and try that nonsense.
We have plenty of weapons immediately available, and are skilled in their use.
And I have a tractor that will dig a grave size hole in 10 minutes, and plenty of property to dig it in. Even quicker if we don’t concern ourselves much with the critters get to ya.
They don't want to be associated with Crow... 🤓
Hooray for your ancestors! That’s the way to do it!
Crow can kiss 100% of my butt

I’m going to have to look into his background.
No white rapper got away with that…
The Old Crow is looking for another 15 minutes of putting out crappy “music”.
Crow is FOR murder, robbery and arson. A criminal loves criminals
If it makes you happy
It can’t be that bad
I sure do miss Rush. He would have had a blast with all this material that is now going to waste.
Since when is murder, robbery and arson NOT bad ?
Considering Sheryl wipes with one panel of toilet paper, she’s probably pretty “ripe” down there by now.
I have no doubt that is absolutely true.
Hey Sheryl, say that in a small town. Commie Wench
I couldn’t tell you. I don’t really keep up with the latest popular music, as it’s mostly crap.
