Speaking of being offended: cmt pulls Jason aldean video

[closetohumping 17444]

I guess for being offensive.  Heard the name not super familiar with his music.  
 

Too country? Didn’t use R word

 

 

guessing this will actually help sales

[Aqua Buddha 14598]

When I first hear it, I was offended at his singing and how bad the song was.  

Evidently, the video was shot on the steps of a courthouse where they used to lynch people.  Oops.

[bschoolprof 6263]

Message/political undertones aside, the song should be cancelled because it's objectively terrible, even by modern bro country standards.  I couldn't make it past the middle of the first verse.  

[Gene Parmesan 4008]

I think Aldean is one of the bro country founding fathers.  This will absolutely help sales.  Watching music videos on TV channel isn't even a thing anymore.

[mdmost 43004]

Pulling it is only going to make it more of a hit. Look at Morgan Wallen.

I wonder who else is?  Luke Bryan?  Wallen? FGL?

Not sure, whoever came up and got big in the later aughts that's when I remember it really taking off.  Shelton and Bryan my guess.

A video juxtaposing scenes from BLM and a courthouse lynching site with the lyrics “Try that in a small town”? The mental gymnastics to call others snowflakes for finding that offensive is why this country is set to fail in a decade or so. Sick, disgusting, pathetic. Don’t be so sensitive about lynching black people for protesting? “That’s not really what he’s sayin?” Fuck you. 

[Helobious 9455]

Checked the song credits to confirm what I already knew… he didn’t write the song. Just performed it. What is it with modern country singers and not writing at least part of their own music? Can’t think of another genre where that’s so common. 

['stache 21818]

Should’ve just named the song “Sundown Town.”

Radio is unlistenable right now because of that guy. He'll be on at least three stations everytime I flip through when I'm in the car. Fuck that guy.

Agree.  This was the first time I’d heard him on 104.   Had heard him on 96 a few times recently.  Had flipped thru and caught him on 3 at once several times.   Don’t know if there’s a 5th that will pick the songs up, we’ll see.  If 97 or 105 does, fml.

If I hear him on the Beat or the Box, I'll know we're nearing the end times.

I don’t like country music at all but I’ll listen to “Last Night” by Morgan wallen all day long. I get that it’s not “real” country and that it’s soft but it’s an objectively great song.

Not an expert but I *heard* on one of the stations him and that small group of buddies of his write a shitload of the songs they do. Don’t know if true or not. 

This latest Bryan cover of Fast Car is pretty good. But I’m not sure I’ve heard a bad cover of it.

I tied to listen to it after I saw the headline and didn’t make it very far. The irritating, grating sound was definitely offensive. No clue about lynching.

It's a terrible crap country song, but not worse than most of the stuff out there.  The song itself is a political anthem, but maybe you could let that pass.  But the video.  They'll play that video at every Klan rally for the next decade.  I'm sure Mr. Aldean is a good person and naive about what that video will be used for.  CMT is right to pull it.

Not defending Jason Aldean, but if you're gonna set the bar there, your gonna loop in a lot of old and current stars.  Including George Strait.

[Mole 4333]

It got me to listen the song, so I guess the PR worked. I don’t think I’ll be listening much more.

There’s a Michael Jackson Beat It quote in the guitar towards the end, which makes for some interesting imagery.

He’s from Macon though? So not exactly a small town guy. I live in a small town in Georgia and his vision of small town life doesn’t align with my experience in 2023, although the Sons of Confederate Veterans and their giant flags are ubiquitous.

Yeah, that was my first takeaway when I heard about the scandal a couple of days ago.  The article mentioned he was from Macon, and I thought "wait. that's more like a small city?"  Looked it up, almost 160K.  At least he's consistent in his posing.
