[quote=Anonymous]I enjoy country music, am from the south and was raised by parents who were from the south who listened to country music. I have never listened to Jason Aldean because I lean towards my parents’ taste which isn’t new pop Nashville country like him.

I think Aldean is basically pretty dumb and not very savvy; probably surrounded by people equally dumb, like his wife. I think someone said sing these lyrics, lip sync here on this set for the video, and done. He’s not doing any deep dives into anything. I highly doubt he ever thought to ask about the location history or meaning behind the lyrics (he doesn’t write his own songs). Believing he would is believing he’s way smarter than he is.

But I SMH at people using this as a launching pad as evidence of extreme racism or to tie in country music or people from small towns as a whole: aka stereotyping. I even read an Op-Ed in the post that was beyond ridiculous re how country music had a long history of songs about sundown towns and small town vigilante justice that had inspired Aldean via the songs Country Boy Can Survive by Hank and Okie from Muskogee by Haggard which makes zero sense. An Okie is a migrant worker who works on farms (Haggard wrote it about his father who was an Okie, he was proud to be an Okie from Muskogee); and a Country Boy Can Survive is pretty much a testament to how boys from the country can live off the land so they can survive (like in a zombie apocalypse, such as Daryl Dixon). When people make ludicrous arguments, I just stop listening.

Aldean is not real country. He also seems like a douche and a douche wife. Did people expect something brilliant from him?[/quote]
