Speaking of being offended: cmt pulls Jason aldean video

Jason Isbell is the man-est man in modern country music.  I don't think there's a close second.  Being a man isn't swagger, or jacked up trucks, or being a fucking bully.  It's just standing up and standing tall, over and over, doing the right thing, damn the blowback.  Jason doesn't bitch about conservative pussies hating him -- he just keeps on being Jason Isbell.

But still, Amanda Shires should leave him and run away with me.

I think Amanda is the closest second you are thinking about.  She holds nothing back.  And my favorite quote of hers is, "I can hold my breath longer than I can listen to country radio."

I really like DesMoines and Ames, but what's the best/most interesting small city, say, anything under 20K?

Decorah, about 20 minutes away from me.  It's in the Driftless Area (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driftless_Area) and home to Luther College, so it gets the college town vibe.  It feels a lot like a mountain town (despite only having hills), and people from the Twin Cities, Chicago, and Des Moines visit pretty frequently due to the world class beer scene (it's where Toppling Goliath is from and there are other local breweries that rock), and the outdoor recreation which is pretty good by Midwestern standards.  There's a beautiful paved bike trail the loops around the city, 20+ miles of mountain bike/hiking trails in the bluffs on the north end of town, and plenty of other hiking and biking options within a 40 minute radius.  The Upper Iowa River flows through town, and upstream about 15 minutes is some of the top kayaking/canoeing in the Midwest.  The college brings in a pretty eclectic mix of people, and there are some really good restaurants, art galleries, etc for a town it's size.

I gotta give some of y'all "too much wokeness in music, keep your politics outta my entertainment, free speech in art" types more credit.  Bitching behind a keyboard, wearing a hat, or some stickers on your truck to "take a stand?"  That's shit's too easy and doesn't prove anything about your ethical or sociological foundation.  

But listening to a Jason Aldean album to prove it?  Now that's some fucking brass cajones.  Holy shit, I thought I was dedicated to my principles.  That you don't veer into oncoming traffic or pull off into a truck stop parking lot and swallow a round after hearing that shit...but instead join the Aldean Army to fight censorship and artistic compromise...........we walk in your fucking shadow.

The brain drain has been issue for Iowa (and other rural places) my whole life, and when I was 18 I thought my hometown/area would be a bombed out crater within 5 years.

Here it is 20 years later, and it's honestly got more going for it than when I was a kid.

A lot of it is that we went through that big population loss in the 80's, when you had big families on small farms, and it wasn't possible to sustain that level of population in that economy.  In essence, we kind of found our carrying capacity.  And there have been a fair amount of college educated people who realize you can live here dirt cheap, make a lot of money in comparison to the COL, and the recreation opportunities are better than their reputation.  If you have a craving for the big city stuff, pretty much anywhere in the state is within 4 hours of a pro sports town (Minneapolis, Chicago, or KC).  Easy weekend trips.

The brain drain is an issue for places with nothing going for them. However, there are plenty of places that qualify as small towns that are thriving especially with the all out push for remote work. It has reversed the course on that issue I believe. We see more coming into our area that want out of the bigger city hustle than ever before. There is an aspect of it that sucks because of the issues that come with it, but there are new restaurants, event spaces, breweries, etc all opening because of the people coming in.

Me, I’m ready to size down again. I preferred what I had over what I currently have, so we’ll be looking for something a little less thriving soon.

Exactly, and that's the case across what I would call the western corn belt (Iowa, Minnesota, eastern Dakotas/Nebraska, northern and central Illinois) as a result of that consistently strong ag economy.

Stuff has come so far the last 20-25 years on land valuations and such. I was the last graduate from my rural Nebraska high school (End of the alphabet in a class of 14), and we were tack welding desks that came with the school in the 50's back together to use. All our sports uniforms were a decade old, didn't have down and distance on the scoreboard and so on. Now the consolidation with our  rival has a brand new gym that seats more people than live in the district, a real track instead of dumping us off the countryside and telling us to figure it out, and also sorts of other perks, all while having the lowest levy in the state. (Having a large windfarm, and being the terminus of the existing Keystone pipeline helps too.) Helps that there is a decent light industrial base 20 miles away, and a good chunk of the big farms are livestock heavy to keep fresh people moving in.

Those photos look badass.  My father's family has some distant cousins in that part of Iowa.  My father and his brother would go visit every now and again, and said although that side of the family was even crazier than his side...it was really pretty there with cool rivers and rock formations and great fishing (he wasn't much for mountain biking).  I imagine he and my uncle also made liberal use of whatever the beer scene was like back then 40 years ago.  

csb/ For all his faults, he had an incredibly sense of humor.  Like Steve Martin, he was either very absurdist/physical or very dry/sardonic.  And I remember my uncle and he saying after one visit that those people must be inbred and are woefully unfunny.  But one second cousin stood out to them.  She was hilarious in that same manner and thhey connected immediately.  He lost touch with her, and I exchanged emails with her a couple times years ago but that was it.  She later went on to be a producer in Hollywood, mostly comedies.  And she married a fairly famous comedic actor.  And had a daughter, who I guess would be my dad's third cousin?  You would know her as Abby Elliott from SNL, "How I met your Mother", and "The Bear"  /csb

I'd prefer to live in a small town over Austin, but it'd have to be near mountains or ocean.  I can't do small town like where my wife comes from and much of her family still lives-NW Kansas.  All the farms have been bought up by conglomerates but everybody still stays there to watch each little community devolve through myriad stages of decay.  I don't get it.  It's not tradition, it's vanity.

This - look, DAC was and is a real-deal outlaw biker and titanic asshole, but he's also an eccentric genious who in his day challenged hypocrisy and social taboos in ways that were transgressive in the 70's and COMPLETELY out of bounds today. But he always punched up, not down. Comparing him to a doughy poseur like Jason Aldean is just stupid. 
For example when Anita Bryant was making herself famous and rich crusading against gays at a time when they were already pretty much despised and shunned from society, DAC wrote this song, involving his own experiences with gays, in prison and beyond.

No... The discussion around DAC was about some of his generally "offensive" material.  Some of his offensive material was "given a pass" because certain words were used sardonically as commentary on the caricature of a white southern bigot.  I gave an example of a DAC song where I don't think that is the case.  I simply pointed out that casual use of the n-word by a white artist in a non-satirical or non-sardonic context - even in a song released back in 1977 - is offensive material.  

Now the goal posts are being moved to say that the word must be used in a threatening or derogatory way to be considered offensive?  Nah... DAC deserves a little smoke.

Of course he does. He did in 1977 as well, and he got it then, too. His career is basically over because of it. But it's a huge, huge gulf between what he did, which is be an asshole who offended people for grins, and what Jason Aldean did, which is record write song about sundown towns full of racist dogwhistles and then run like a pussy from the obvious meaning of the material. 
Jason Aldean has more in common with Anita Bryant than he does with DAC. At least Johnny Rebel didn't hide from it.
