Country Music Television Pulls Song "Try That In a Small Town" From Its Rotation, Because The Song Criticizes Antifa and BLM Rioters

I think it's time to make conservatives' divorce from the liberal, woke, cowardly corporate class final and irrevocable.

Jason Aldean is defending his new controversial song and music video that was pulled by CMT, calling claims made against the track "not only meritless, but dangerous."

After Aldean released "Try That In a Small Town" in May and its accompanying music video on Friday, it was criticized for promoting gun violence and taking aim at the Black Lives Matter movement.

The track features the lyrics: "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." Aldean later sings on the song, "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."

The music video features the burning of the American flag, protests, looting and more. CMT, which is dedicated to country music videos, pulled the clip from its rotation on Monday.

Aldean denied the allegations against his song in a tweet on Tuesday.

"In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song ... and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous," he wrote. "There is 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."

Our Corporate Masters have decided that there is only one permissible attitude about antifa/BLM rioting, arson, and murder, and that permissible attitude is Ecstatic Praise.

In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous. There is 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.

the "industries" you mention have been totally corrupted for a long time, perhaps from the beginning. Probably their only real purpose was to try to convince the rubes that there was something in this system for them, while the execs sneered at them behind closed doors.

Nothing in this system can be "reformed". It all has to be burned down and rebuilt from scratch.

That is easy to fix, a regular Win/Win. Start lynching a lot of the AWFLs and their soiboy suck-ups so that whites aren't underrepresented in the total body count.

Though instead of burning the former US flag, they should have scenes of a backhoe and what appears to be rolled up carpet being dumped into holes, while near nude hot looking women are proactively shooting Bud Light cans with archery and select-fire rifles.

Look for the video of Antifa trying to protest at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally of all places.


They were calling for the Cops to save them in literally minutes.

And if the Rally goers would have actually cared to damage them there were not even CLOSE to enough cops to stop absolute mayhem.

So yeah I can see where no Democrats can abide to let this message get out.

For decades...country music was known for being the family-friendly genre. Unfortunately...that no longer appears to be the case. The CMT Awards were held Sunday night...and the display of wokeness from country music was rather surprising.
We reveal and react to numerous clips from the 2023 CMT Awards. We react to the performance of Kelsea Ballerini and the acceptance speech of Shania Twain. We discuss how woke culture has infected every facet of society. We reveal the record high ratings for the CMT Awards...and predict record low ratings next year.

Kelsea Ballerini catches heat for 'woke' CMT Awards performance with drag queens
tinyurl.com/ypjn7e7d

Kelsea Ballerini drew heat and praise Sunday night after featuring all-star drag queens from "RuPaul's Drag Race" during a colorful performance at the 2023 CMT Music Awards.
The "Peter Pan” and “This Feeling” singer, who also co-hosted the fan-voted country-music awards show, sang her new ride-or-die best friend anthem "If You Go Down (I'm Goin' Down Too)" backed by a quartet of "Drag Race" stars

90 Antifa/BLM doesn't understand small-town policing at all. Small town cops don't want excitement, for the most part. They live in a sleepy, boring town for a reason.

So when Antifa/BLM comes storming into town causing trouble, the small-town cops are NOT going to be sympathetic to them. They would just as soon the problem go away. If that means the local citizenry takes care of it, they are A-OK with taking statements and cleaning up the mess.

140 Two years after she changed the name of her Dixie Stampede attraction at Dollywood, Dolly Parton is opening up about the reasons behind the change, confessing "innocent ignorance" to the negative association the word "Dixie" carried for some fans.
"There’s such a thing as innocent ignorance, and so many of us are guilty of that," she observes. "When they said 'Dixie' was an offensive word, I thought, 'Well, I don’t want to offend anybody. This is a business. We’ll just call it the Stampede.'"
"As soon as you realize that [something] is a problem, you should fix it," Parton adds. "Don’t be a dumbass. That’s where my heart is. I would never dream of hurting anybody on purpose."
Parton was ahead of the curve of some artists who have begun to make changes more recently in response to the deaths of George Floyd and other unarmed Black men and women in police custody all over the U.S., and the resulting protests that have swept the country.
"I understand people having to make themselves known and felt and seen," she says. "And of course Black lives matter. Do we think our little white asses are the only ones that matter? No!"

183 Heh. Good for Aldean.

As a concrete example, look at Utah's response to BLM riots. Just like everywhere else, we had a massive riot in Salt Lake. Our Governor called out the National Guard when they started marching on the Utah Capitol (tanks and helicopters) and they dispersed. They tried rioting again, not as successfully. Then the BLM and Antifa types went to Provo, Utah, where they were allowed to block a street and then they shot a driver just trying to go home.
The mayor did nothing.
So that was it. A local militia of veterans formed, and for the next few months, they just went and stood, fully armed, at wherever the BLM/Antifa protests were happening. Didn't engage, stood about 100 feet away at all times, just stood there.

Very peaceful protests, despite the screaming of Antifa. The cops made noises about unnecessary, but never made the militia leave. And Utah didn't have any cities burn down. (Oddly enough: the Provo riot was organized by leftist Jake Sullivan, the guy who went to Jan 6 and caught Ashley Babbit's murder on camera and is free as a bird today).

188 I like country music. It is sexy, clever, upbeat, in praise of a simpler life. I can hear the words, walk to the beat and sing along as long as no one else is around.

Again, The Meat Puppet is on tape bragging that he was able to leverage a billion dollars in taxpayer money to get the Ukrainian President to fire a prosecutor that was investigating the energy his son was on the board of.

It's literally a textbook quid-pro-quo extortion case, open and shut.

220 They don't like Aldean because he is a friend of Trumps. There are several more pointed protest country songs and that rapper who Ace sometimes posts about but none got immediately canceled by CMT. Remember Wallen used the N word and no matter how many times he apologized they did not relent. Lucky for him he is terrific and it made not a whit of difference. But the bottom line is that it is the left that is doing this so as long as you don't offend them or have the nerve to befriend Trump, let the show go on.

266 I'm pretty sure Jason Aldean was the act on stage when the Vegas shooting happened at the country music festival a few years ago.

I like some of the modern country (I prefer classic country), but most of it is just 80's pop music, maybe with a fiddle or a banjo in there somewhere. I do like Aldean and others have mentioned Darious Rucker, who I also like.

I've heard this song on the radio. I figured it would make lefty heads explode if they ever heard it. I'll have to buy it now just to support the guy.

Konstantin Kissin points out something I had not realized about Political Correctness. Its origin is from the Soviet Union, and it was used differently.

If you said something that the state didn't like, they would admit that it may very well be true, but it was Politically Incorrect, and hence banned. His father criticized the invasion of Afghanistan (a move that puzzles me to this day by Russia) and he lost his job. His mom lost her job. It was politically incorrect.

As one former official put it, the caverns were “not really intended for daily ATM-type operations.”

Outside of the gulags---excepting the 1/6 political prisoner version to a small degree--the old Soviet Union and present-day United States greatly resembled each other with cancelling and political correctness. And unless someone was a party muckety wump, it probably was safer to voice Bad Thought outside of earshot to a small private group in the USSR than present day Banana Empire; some but all of that due to technology. Contemporary America really is a disgusting place in many respects, but especially in that regard.

I've been reading reviews and it's *fascinating*. Critics love it because it's an intersectional feminist screed or critics hate it for that same reason. Everyone is twisting themselves into pretzels trying to intellectualize a fucking *Barbie* movie. Not a single description by a single person characterizes it as being appropriate for a child. And by that I mean no one has said, "My seven year old really enjoyed it."

It's a movie nominally meant for children but the primary audience is adult women aged 18 to 45.

311 Watched Sound of Freedom this afternoon, an interesting story but a tedious movie. Which is what you get when you try to tell a mostly true story. Mainstream (i.e., freaky) Hollywood will shred the truth for the sake of plot and pacing, and also for the sake of neo-marxism, mostly the neo-marxism.

Script & dialogue are stilted. Actors do their best with what they're given. Standouts are Bill Camp, and Jose Zuniga as the father of the victims who are the main subject of the film.


The film employs a lot of child actors, which is a distraction. But you can't do it any other way. These kids are well-directed but they could use a close encounter with Spielberg to really show their acting chops.


Looks like faith-based counterculture is behind the production, which means they have to be oblique & tasteful with the seedier aspects of law enforcement and the touchy subject of the film itself.


Thus the film lacks the emotional gut-punch you would expect. But glad I watched it.


Final message by Jim Caviezel begs viewers to scan QR code to buy additional tickets so everyone can see the "Uncle Tom's Cabin" of modern slavery. Smacks of commercialism.

There was some fun disco, right up until it became too popular after Saturday night fever... Yep, John Travolta pretty much ruined it...

Then... country became OK, right up until Urban Plowboy, where he did the same thing to country.

Glad he never did a Heavy Metal Movie.

337 Not a single description by a single person characterizes it as being appropriate for a child

Well, the dolls themselves were not actually appropriate for a child.


They were meant to sexualize a young girl into thinking they were only sex objects from the time they were invented onward unto this day. My mother didn't approve of them for my sister and I. And I didn't have them in my home for my girls either.

338 are you seeing what I am seeing what's up with the blue question marks in my post ? is this censorship ?!

Maybe you should try cheering those questions marks up so that they're not blue anymore.

354 Outside of the gulags---excepting the 1/6 political prisoner version to a small degree--the old Soviet Union and present-day United States greatly resembled each other with cancelling and political correctness. And unless someone was a party muckety wump, it probably was safer to voice Bad Thought outside of earshot to a small private group in the USSR than present day Banana Empire; some but all of that due to technology. Contemporary America really is a disgusting place in many respects, but especially in that regard.

Except for GOPe, always wise to wait for an actual betrayal then using a default everyone caves.

For the most part, musicians have returned to making most of the moolah by performing rather than recording/video royalties. Makes a performer more responsive to the crowds attending concerts rather than the impresarios.

Yeah that's what my cousin's daughters liked. They didn't have a Barbie in the house, but I think their mom probably had more to do with that than the kids.

368 2017, the madman shot and killed 60 people and injured hundreds more during Grammy Award winner Aldean's performance in Las Vegas.

Grammy dot .com, in part: After an initial post expressing his sadness, thoughts and prayers for the victims, Aldean has now penned a longer letter that touches on his fear at the current state of the world, the need for people to come together and his continued thoughts and prayers for the victims of the largest mass shooting in U.S. history.

He seems to be a decent person. Leave him be.

370 Nobody watches music videos on TV any more. If they ever even did.

As for the song itself, I don’t disagree with the sentiments expressed therein, but having grown up in a small town as a kid who didn’t quite fit in, my experience is that the purported sense of community, though very real and very strong, is also selective and not very forgiving of any deviation. If you weren’t an athletic kid or a social butterfly, you didn’t get extended all of those courtesies, even if you weren’t a commie antifa sympathizer. So while I appreciate why Aldean felt the need to write this, it doesn’t ring all that true to me.

Posted by: Caiwyn at July 19, 2023 09:54 PM (xz2eq)

371 I remember growing up in a small west Texas town. We had "sweetie uncles" and they were tolerated becauyse they kept to themselves. "bless your heart" was reserved for especially stupid politicians and idiots. But town trouble makers were always encouraged to find themselves in NYC or Chicago. If they didn't they might meet some angry fathers. Those who hate America are just too obvious. As for Antifa and BLM, I wish they try out their shit in my small town. Shoot, shovel and shut up.
