[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think his song is about how different life is in a small town in the context of a city.  They live a different lifestyle and from lyrics, they support their LEOs, etc.  I think he is right.  He insinuates for example that theirs is a very gun loving culture v city folks who tend toward liberal (myself) who despise gun culture.  I think he's right.  So a lot of the lyrics I think is on pointe re: small esp rural communities in the US.

Is he racist for saying that?  Maybe but it is the truth.

My other prob with those who want to be outraged on this is that you should really examine the lyrics to 2LiveCrew, NWA, Eminem, et al. rap group.  I mean you cannot say those lyrics are not maybe even worse or on the same level!!!

I think the cancel culture is real and is very scary.  From banning gas stoves to this, I think people just take to the extremes of what has been publicized and can't let it go.  We're just all too nuts.

The location the video has been filmed is used as a prime location to many many other videos - that's why they used it.  Now, maybe because he happens to be politically right wing, he is sending a message, who knows.  But he is not the only artist who picked this spot to film so you have to be fair about this place being used - should we analyze all those times this location has been on film?

So I'm not a right wing supporter that he definitely is.  He's MAGA loving, proTrump and he's everything I don't stand for but you know he can be a conservative and still make music.  You may not like it but I think people outraged about this song should call out a zillion other things in this day and age that are if not the same and worse to be outraged about.  The other side is that he knows full well this is a controversial song and it will make him more $ - that's just business savvy and people play into that so - again not his fault.

I don't like the guy but beating up on this song is a waste of time, energy and really anti free speech.[/quote]

LOL, he's not "canceled." He's selling records. He's touring. That's about as far as you can get from "canceled."  Now let's look at 2LiveCrew, as an example, since you brought it up. Do you know anything about what they had to do in order to have their music be heard, whatever it is you think about it? Because you are ridiculously stupid for even making that comparison. That was TRUE cancellation and the entirely illegal variety. [/quote]
