Big Machine Label Group has taken criticism for releasing singer Aaron Lewis’ recent number-one country song bashing liberals, but the company’s CEO, Scott Borchetta, says he is standing by his artist.
Left-wing music blogger Bob Lefsetz recently wrote that Lewis’ song is “heinous” and slammed Big Machine for releasing the hit “Am I the Only One.” But Borchetta wrote an open letter defending his label’s actions in reply to the criticism launched by liberals such as Lefsetz. ...
Lewis’ song, “Am I the Only One,” soared to number one on the country charts despite getting no radio airtime. The song is very pro-America and slams liberals, including rock star Bruce Springsteen, for their anti-American ideas.
Some of the lyrics include, “Am I the only one who can’t take no more/Screamin’ ‘If you don’t like it, there’s the f----n’ door,'” Lewis sings. He adds that he is willing to “take a bullet for being free.” And he also dings Springsteen with this line: “Am I the only one who quits singin’ along/Every time they play a Springsteen song?”
Borchetta notes that while he approves of his label’s release of Lewis’ flag-waving song, his label has also produced music by hard-core left-winger Sheryl Crow, who released a pro-Kamala Harris song in 2020.

I love that song. That, and ‘More of Us’, by Trace Adkins.
PUSHBACK finally finding traction????
Of course the left will scream and have a fit, to control, they need to control culture. Can’t have anyone singing an anti-left song.
They can take shots at us at every opportunity, but the wusses on the left whine when someone takes a shot at them.

Must be anger from the Leftists who illegally have been tearing down statues of Christopher Columbus, Jesus, Lincoln, etc.
The mistake is in calling them “liberals”. They are Leftists.
There is nothing liberal about their worldview.
Absolutely agree.
I completely understand it rocketing to the top. Beautiful.
“Pussies”.
Powerful name to call the left.
Wallen was cancelled after drunkenly saying the N word. He still got the #1 for at least 10 weeks despite no radio airplay. Cancel culture
Funny how counter culture is now team red.

I never heard of the artist, but I hope he can stand all the heat in the kitchen that’s coming his way and he doesn’t do a mea culpa like John Cena. We need to support this artist with as much or more pushback than the liberals. We can pushback much more effectively if we learn how to do it, their are more of us, but the libs know how to use social media and other tricks as a force multiplier, we need to take that advantage away.
Really? Was it a bullet to the top?
Why be nice and sugarcoat it at all?
They are straight up Communists period.
Despite getting no radio airtime? The conservative underground works ... and fast!
