Pat Boone says Jason Aldean’s ‘Try That in a Small Town’ controversy rooted in ‘moral sickness’
NY Post ^ | 07/20/2023 | Charles Creitz

Gospel legend Pat Boone said the country music genre is becoming “sick” after a barrage of attempts to cancel Jason Aldean for filming the music video for an anti-riot song in front of a Tennessee courthouse critics say a man was hanged 100 years ago.

Aldean denied the song “Try That in a Small Town” has any racist intentions or undertones.

The tune describes how rural America will not accept the same riotous behavior and criminality that has besieged many urban areas since 2020.

“These references are not only meritless but dangerous,” Aldean said, after criticism of his use of the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tenn., was used as a backdrop.

Oh, I get it now.

Saying “Try this in a Small Town” is hateful and racist - yet burning American cities to the ground, looting, destroying property, attacking the police, destroying businesses for night after night after night - without consequence, is A-OK.

Got it.

Downloaded the song yesterday and I’m not a country music fan.

Pat should have kept quiet and let most of us with the thought that he had quietly passed away.

The headline and the first sentence seemingly contradict each other.

In the headline it seems to be saying that Pat Boone regards the song as a moral sickness, but in the first sentence it implies that people accusing the song of racism are suffering from a moral sickness.

Which is it?

Boone said the average American who is trained to use firearms should be able to defend themselves against the criminality described by Aldean.

Sounds like maybe you should have read the article rather then just the head line.

Go ice your knee. It has gotten a bit over active.

My read of the article is that Boone does think that country has gone down hill, but that he support’s Aldean. The writer seems intent on obscuring the point.

Yes, the headline greatly distorts what I perceive as his actual position.

In the first sentence of the cited material, Pat Boone appears to be going after those people in the country music industry that are trying to shut down Aldean's song.

But the headline implies the opposite.

Pat is fully supporting Jason.

You have this 180 degrees wrong.
